Finance Partner

Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We’re on a mission to make flying better than ‘nice’. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety – in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.

You’ll be instrumental in building and enhancing reporting packs that support operational decision-making. The Operations portfolio spans a broad range of direct labour groups and cost categories, giving you exposure to complex, high-impact areas of the business.
