Business intelligence and finance analyst

Melbourne
Mutimer
Financial Analyst
Posted: 22 January
Offer description

Mutimer's team is expanding and we are looking for a Business Intelligence and Finance Analyst to join our growing team, based in Collingwood. You will be responsible for turning data across inventory, sales, logistics and marketing into clear and practical insights to support long term growth and decision making. You will build and maintain the models and reporting that underpin forecasting, inventory planning, cashflow management, margin analysis, and operational efficiency.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working deep in the numbers, understands how ecommerce and supply-chain-led businesses operate, and can translate complex data into recommendations that actually get used.

This is not a passive reporting role. You will be expected to proactively identify risks and opportunities, challenge assumptions, and help the business make better, more confident decisions as it scales.


Key Responsibilities

* Act as the central business-wide analytical resource, partnering with Operations, Marketing, Production, Customer Service, and external partners to ensure decisions are driven by accurate, timely, and relevant data.
* Build, maintain, and refine sales forecasting models at weekly, monthly, and collection level, incorporating historical performance, seasonality, marketing activity, and inventory constraints.
* Own inventory planning, reorder point, and stock-out risk models, working closely with Operations to support purchasing decisions and minimise lost sales or excess inventory.
* Create and maintain financial models for collection drops, modelling revenue, margins, cash requirements, and upside/downside scenarios prior to production commitments.
* Monitor and report on product-level and collection-level profitability, including margins, returns rates, and contribution analysis, identifying cost drivers and performance variances.
* Maintain and analyse cost of goods data, including landed costs, freight, duties, and supplier pricing, ensuring accurate margin, pricing, and profitability insights.
* Build and maintain short- and medium-term cashflow models covering inventory payments, freight costs, tax obligations, and operating expenses.
* Analyse logistics and fulfilment performance across third-party warehouses and courier partners, including shipping costs, delivery times, service levels, and error rates.
* Compare performance across 3PLs and courier providers to identify opportunities for cost reduction, service improvement, or strategic change, and model the financial and service impact of potential options.
* Partner with Customer Service to analyse delivery issues, delays, and returns data, identifying systemic problems and improvement opportunities.
* Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting across sales, inventory, margins, cashflow, logistics performance, shipping costs, delivery times, returns, and customer experience metrics.
* Proactively identify risks and opportunities across inventory exposure, cashflow pressure, logistics efficiency, and margin performance, surfacing insights early with clear recommendations.
* Collaborate with external bookkeepers and accountants to ensure accurate financial coding, reconciliations, and reporting, acting as the internal point of contact for financial and analytical data.
* Support budgeting, financial planning, and growth analysis, including budget vs actual reporting and variance analysis.
* Contribute analytical support to strategic business initiatives such as warehouse selection, courier changes, pricing strategy, market expansion, and operational scaling.
* Lead regular cross-functional review sessions (forecasting, inventory planning, financial performance, logistics efficiency) to ensure insights are understood and acted upon.
* Translate complex data into clear, practical recommendations for the Founder and leadership team to support confident, data-led decision-making.


What We're Looking For

* 2–5+ years' experience in business intelligence, commercial analysis, FP&A, or a similar analytical role
* Experience in ecommerce, retail, FMCG, or another inventory-driven business
* Strong financial modelling and forecasting skills (advanced Excel / Google Sheets essential)
* Experience building and maintaining sales forecasts, inventory models, and cashflow projections
* Strong understanding of margins, cost of goods, landed costs, and unit economics
* Ability to analyse operational data such as logistics costs, shipping performance, and service levels
* Experience working with external bookkeepers or accountants and interpreting financial statements
* Comfortable building dashboards and translating data into clear, actionable insights
* Strong attention to detail and data integrity
* Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple workstreams at once
* Strong initiative and proactiveness, able to identify issues before they become problems

You must have unrestricted working rights in Australia to be considered for this position
