Finance Business Partner needed for a high-stakes regulatory submission. Sydney, 12-month contract ~$200k salary. Financial Modelling Regulated Assets
  • 12-month FTC, potential to extend
  • ~$200k Inclusive of Super on offer
  • Heavly regulated asset business
    •
    This isn't a role where you quietly update a spreadsheet once a quarter. It's a seat inside the engine room of a major regulatory infrastructure business — where the numbers you build feed directly into a large-scale submission, and the scrutiny is real.

    This is a 12-month contract with a major regulated heavy asset business, supporting a significant a project. You'll report to a Senior Finance Business Partner and work at the intersection of finance, operations, delivery, and technology teams, translating business-unit data into the inputs that drive the model.

    You'll be stepping in during a high-intensity phase of the project, in the lead-up to a major submission. Immediate start.

    What the role looks like
    • Business partner across a whole-of-business regulatory project — working with operational, delivery, and technology teams to build out a long-term investment pipeline.
    • Translate business-unit cost and project data into regulatory model inputs, feeding a major submission
    • Apply a due diligence mindset to the numbers — questioning whether they stack up, not just running with what you're given.
    • Support senior leadership and external stakeholder engagement with clear, well-modelled numbers and analysis.
    • Work closely with a broader regulation and strategy team as the program scope continues to mature.
    • Deliver ad hoc financial analysis and reporting to support decision-making through a high-intensity period.
    • Build strong working relationships across the business to source and validate the data behind the model.
    What you'll need
    • Solid experience as a finance business partner, ideally with exposure to a regulated asset business (energy, water, telco, or similar) — this is highly regarded
    • Excellent financial modelling skills — comfortable building, updating, and interrogating complex Excel models.
    • A due diligence mindset — comfortable challenging numbers and asking the hard questions before they go up the line.
    • An understanding of regulatory frameworks in a capital-intensive, regulated environment; an accounting background helps but isn't the main game.
    • A hands-on approach — happy to work directly with the business to chase down, extract, and validate data.
    • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — confident presenting to executives and external stakeholders.
    • Solid time management — able to juggle competing priorities through a high-intensity project phase.
    • Tertiary qualifications in a related discipline; CA, CPA, or CIMA highly regarded.
    What makes this worth your time
    • Immediate start available.
    • A genuine seat at the table on a major regulatory program, with high visibility to senior leadership
    • CBD location, flexible working
    • A rare chance to build on regulated-industry experience
    This process will move fast — so if you're the right person, don't wait.
