About the role
Aurizon is seeking a Lead Financial Analyst to join the Containerised Freight Finance team. This role will focus on providing commercial and capital insights that drive sound investment decisions and support the growth of Aurizon’s containerised freight operations.

- Partner with operational and commercial teams to deliver meaningful insights and performance reporting.
- Support major commercial and capital projects through analysis, tracking and post-implementation review.
- Identify and implement initiatives to enhance business performance and financial governance.
About you
You’re commercially minded, analytical and confident engaging with senior stakeholders to influence business outcomes. You’ll bring:
- A degree in Commerce, Finance, Economics or a related discipline.
- Experience gained in a Big 4 workplace or within heavy industry, with a focus on commercial analysis, investment appraisal or business partnering.
- Proven experience in financial modelling, investment evaluation and strategic analysis.
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to challenge the status quo with well-founded commercial reasoning.
