At PUMA, we're entering an exciting period of growth across Oceania, and we're looking for a commercially minded Senior Financial Planning Analyst to help drive what's next.
Supporting our Wholesale business and our growing COBRA PUMA Golf division, you'll play a critical role in helping business leaders make smarter, faster and more profitable decisions. This isn't a role focused on reporting what happened last month. It's about influencing what happens next.

For an ambitious FP&A professional looking to step into a highly visible business partnering role, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact while building your career with one of the world's leading sports brands.
The Opportunity
As the Senior Financial Planning Analyst, you'll be the trusted finance partner to our Wholesale leadership team, providing end-to-end financial support across planning, forecasting, analysis and commercial decision-making.
Initially supporting our Wholesale business, you'll progressively assume financial ownership of the COBRA PUMA Golf business, creating a broader commercial portfolio with significant growth potential across Oceania.
You'll be relied upon to identify risks and opportunities, challenge thinking, evaluate investment decisions and provide the financial insights that help leaders confidently execute their plans.

This includes:
Analysing financial results and providing meaningful commercial recommendations
Developing customer profitability analysis and performance insights
Supporting investment and growth decisions through robust financial modelling
Preparing executive-level reporting and presentations
Leveraging SAP, Power BI and financial data to improve decision-making across the business
Partner With Leaders Across The Business

You'll work closely with leaders across:
Wholesale
COBRA PUMA Golf

Marketing
Operations
Senior Leadership Team
You'll challenge assumptions, provide independent commercial perspectives and help the business balance growth opportunities with financial outcomes.
Support Marketing Investment Decisions

We encourage candidates to highlight their experience in Financial Planning & Analysis, budgeting and forecasting, commercial finance, financial modelling and business partnering.
