About the Role
The Finance, Procurement, Property and Fleet group of Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development are looking for a Senior Finance Business Analyst to join their team. Collaboration with stakeholders will be an essential aspect of this role - you'll drive continuous improvement by reviewing business processes and recommending smart, value-adding changes. You'll be the go-to expert, supporting users with ad hoc myWorkZone queries.

You will work closely with the DPIRD comms team to craft engaging communications for internal platforms, such as Viva Engage. If you thrive on working with data, you’ll also dive into large datasets to support the rollout of new modules like Enterprise Asset Management. Your keen eye for detail will help review and escalate incidents through CSConnect, ensuring our DPIRD staff stay in the loop.

About You
We’re looking for a proactive, tech-savvy individual with strong communication skills and a knack for problem-solving. You’ll be detail-oriented, data-literate, and comfortable working across teams to support users, improve processes, and drive change. If you're collaborative, adaptable, and ready to take initiative in a fast-paced environment, we’d love to hear from you.
