Finance Analyst

At UCC Coffee, we fuel some of Australasia’s most iconic café, retail, and hospitality brands with unparalleled roasted coffee. But behind every great brew is a great decision and that’s where this role comes in.

We’re looking for a commercially savvy analyst to support our fast-paced, specialty coffee business. Based in Auckland and working closely with our Commercial Manager, this role will sit at the intersection of Finance, Sales, Marketing and Franchise (keeping in mind Ops) - helping us make sharper, faster, and more strategic decisions across the board.

**The role**:
A role that goes well beyond spreadsheets? That's this one. It’s about connecting insight to action, bringing structure to ambiguity, and helping our teams make informed decisions that drive real growth. You’ll work on everything from innovation and pricing through to cost optimisation, performance reporting, and S&OP planning. If you're curious, agile, commercially minded, and want your work to have visible impact - this is your seat at the table.

**Your focus**:

- Be the go-to for commercial modelling, pricing, margin, and customer profitability analysis.
- Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Franchise to evaluate new business, tenders, and innovation opportunities.
- Lead key elements of the demand planning cycle - helping us balance customer demand with production reality.
- Own monthly performance reporting, with a lens on cost accounting, accruals, and inventory analysis.
- Support the delivery of our annual budget and rolling forecast cycles.
- Embed tools, dashboards, and reporting in Power BI that make performance clear and actionable.
- Contribute to a high-performance team that values initiative, rigour, and collaboration - and drinks a lot of great coffee while doing it.

**About you**:
You’re naturally curious and commercially driven. You love digging into the numbers, but even more than that
- you thrive in what the numbers unlock. You know how to tell a clear story with data, bring people on the journey, and challenge assumptions constructively.
- 2+ years in a commercial, business, or financial analyst role (FMCG or manufacturing experience is a plus).
- Strong financial modelling and analytical capability - with intermediate excel skills and an eagerness to learn PowerBI.
- Competence in cost accounting, margin analysis, and performance reporting.
- Experience (or strong interest) in demand planning, sales forecasting, and operational finance.
- Confident engaging with stakeholders across all levels - from the shop floor to senior leadership.
- Exposure to ERP systems (E1 / JDE or similar) is desirable.

**Why join us?**

At UCC Coffee, we’re small enough that you can make your mark, and big enough that your work matters at scale. You’ll have the autonomy to shape your work, the support to grow, and the opportunity to influence a business that blends tradition, craft, and innovation every day.

This is a full-time permanent role based in our Auckland office, with hybrid flexibility and great coffee always within reach.
