Senior Performance Analyst

We're on the lookout for a Senior Performance Analyst to join our Finance Team. In this pivotal role, you won't just report the numbers - you'll uncover trends, generate insights, and shape the future of Western Power. From spotting opportunities to flagging potential risks, you'll use predictive analytics to tell us not just what's happening - but what's coming next. If you're ready to influence strategy and drive smarter decisions, we want to hear from you.

Your Role in Action  

• Turn data into direction by delivering sharp, actionable insights that empower confident, data-driven decisions and move the business forward.
• Adapt and enhance existing tools and processes to generate meaningful foresight and support long-term objectives.
• Spot trends before they surface – perform deep-dive analysis to uncover hidden patterns, flag risks, and identify opportunities across the value chain.
• Build true partnerships to boost financial literacy and enable adaptive, informed decision-making.
• Drive performance by support critical programs with high-impact analysis that highlights what’s working, and what’s not.
• Tell the story behind the numbers – turn complex data into compelling, story-driven insights that resonate beyond finance
• Coach and knowledge share to build analytical capability across the wider team.
• Keep strategy front and centre - connect financial planning with organisational goals to deliver clear, measurable outcomes.

What Makes You a Great Fit 

• Experience in strategic financial analysis with a focus on driving business impact, not just reporting the numbers.
• Confidence with complex data – skilled in working with large datasets (especially in Excel) to uncover trends, patterns, and opportunities.
• Sharp analytical thinking - a natural curiosity to ask what the data is telling us and the foresight to recommend what comes next.
• Business intelligence know-how – ability to navigate technical data environments, with the confidence to engage and influence at all levels.
• Compelling communicator - turning complex insights into simple, engaging stories that inform and inspire action.
• A collaborative approach with proven ability to build trusted relationships across diverse teams, helping others understand the 'why' behind the numbers.
