Financial Analyst
Seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Financial Analyst to join our Finance team at Head Office.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of finance, data, systems, and business improvement. We are looking for a person who can help take our reporting, processes, and financial systems capability to the next level.
This role will suit someone with strong technical and analytical skills who can work with large datasets, understand business processes, and turn complex information into clear, useful insights for decision-makers.
About the Role
As Financial Analyst, you will support operational and finance leaders by delivering accurate, timely, and meaningful reporting and analysis. A key focus of the role will be improving how financial information is captured, structured, reported, and used across the business.
You will act as a key support person for Seeka’s financial systems and reporting tools, helping to improve processes, strengthen data quality, develop reporting solutions, and support effective system use across the organisation.
This is not a traditional accounting-only role. While a sound understanding of finance is important, the ideal candidate will bring strong systems thinking, data capability, and a continuous improvement mindset.

About You
You are analytical, curious, and systems-minded. You enjoy working with data, understanding how systems and processes connect, and finding better ways to deliver information to the business.
You may come from a finance, business systems, data analytics, information systems, or reporting background. You do not need to be a traditional accountant, but you will need to be comfortable working with financial information and understanding how it supports business decision-making.
The ideal candidate will have strong technical capability, a practical improvement mindset, and the ability to work with stakeholders to turn reporting and system issues into better outcomes.
