Commercial Finance Analyst

Our Story

Founded over 22 years ago, Grill’d started with a simple idea - to create healthy burgers that taste good and do good. Since then, we've grown from a single Melbourne restaurant into one of Australia's most loved hospitality brands, with 180+ restaurants nationwide and exciting growth still ahead.

Grill’d is about more than burgers. From sustainability initiatives and community partnerships to innovation and restaurant growth, we're passionate about creating experiences and making a positive impact for people and the planet AND we have fun while doing it.

As we continue to expand and evolve, we're looking for a Commercial Finance Analyst to join our Finance team and help shape the next chapter of Grill'd.

About the Role

Reporting to the Commercial Manager, this is an exciting opportunity for a commercially curious Financial Analyst who wants to make a genuine impact across the business.

This isn't a role where you'll simply report on the numbers. You'll be helping tell the story behind them.

Working across every part of Grill'd, you'll provide meaningful commercial insight that influences decision-making, improves performance and helps shape the future of our restaurants and Support Office. From analysing restaurant performance and building financial models, through to evaluating marketing campaigns, new product launches and restaurant investment decisions, you'll play a key role in helping Grill'd continue to grow.

You'll partner closely with leaders across Operations, Marketing, Digital, Supply Chain and Property, combining strong analytical capability with commercial thinking and outstanding stakeholder management. If you love solving problems, asking "why?" and working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

Sound good? Here are some of the things you'll be doing:

• Turn Data into Decisions: Deliver meaningful financial analysis, reporting and insights that help leaders make smarter commercial decisions across the business.

• Own Planning & Performance: Support budgeting, forecasting and restaurant performance analysis, identifying opportunities, risks and trends across sales, margins, labour and profitability.

• Partner Across the Business: Work closely with Operations, Marketing, Digital, Supply Chain and Property to provide financial modelling, commercial advice and performance insights that drive better outcomes.

• Build Better Ways of Working: Develop financial models, automate reporting through Excel and Power BI, and continuously improve processes that create efficiencies across the business.

• Influence Growth: Help shape investment decisions across new restaurant openings, refurbishments, product launches, promotions and strategic business initiatives.

• Grow With Us: Develop your commercial finance career within one of Australia's fastest growing hospitality brands, working alongside experienced leaders who love developing great people.

You'll also spend time working alongside our restaurant teams as part of your onboarding, giving you first-hand insight into the operations, people and culture that drive Grill'd's success.

Who We're Looking For

• Commercial Finance Experience:* Demonstrated experience in commercial finance, financial analysis or business partnering. You'll likely come from a professional services background making your first or second move into industry, or have experience in hospitality, retail or another fast-paced multi-site business.

• Curious Problem Solver: You naturally ask "why?", enjoy digging into data and don't stop until you've uncovered the real story.

• Commercial Thinker: You're able to connect financial analysis with commercial outcomes and confidently translate complex data into practical recommendations.

• Relationship Builder: You communicate confidently with stakeholders at all levels and enjoy partnering with the business to influence decisions.

• Organised & Resilient: You thrive in a fast-moving environment, manage competing priorities well and stay calm under pressure.

• Analytical & Detail Focused: Strong Excel skills are essential, with experience using Power BI or similar reporting tools highly regarded.

• Ambitious & Growth Focused: You're looking for a role where you can continue learning, broaden your commercial exposure and build a long-term career.

Why Grill'd?

• Epic Support Office culture including social events, connection activities and community initiatives.

• Genuine career growth opportunities as Grill'd continues to grow across restaurants, operations and Support Office.

• Work alongside experienced commercial leaders who will challenge and develop you.

• Flexible working arrangements including one day working from home each week.

• We care deeply about our people, community and the planet, with volunteering opportunities throughout the year.

• Oh... and free burgers every month 🍔
