The role

As Senior Business Improvement & Commercial Analyst, you’ll lead business improvement across Vector, building and managing a portfolio of initiatives that deliver sustainable improvements in performance and contribute to our $15 million savings target. You’ll turn strategic priorities into a clear improvement roadmap, identify and evaluate complex opportunities, and lead initiatives from initial diagnosis and investment recommendation through to implementation, benefit realisation and sustained business ownership.

This is a senior specialist role where you’ll lead through expertise, commercial judgement and influence rather than hierarchy. Working across Vector, you’ll bring senior leaders and operational teams together around shared priorities, build commitment to change and lead complex, cross-functional improvement initiatives. You’ll also help strengthen improvement capability across the business, embedding practical methods, tools and performance routines that enable teams to take ownership and sustain results.

What really sets this role apart is its breadth and enterprise-wide impact. You’ll have the opportunity to work across different parts of Vector and tackle challenges ranging from detailed operational improvements through to major strategic and financial initiatives. With exposure to senior leaders and some of our most important business priorities, you’ll have genuine scope to shape how we identify opportunities, improve performance and create lasting value.

Who are we looking for?

• A relevant tertiary qualification or equivalent extensive professional experience, with advanced training or certification in an improvement discipline such as Lean, Six Sigma or TPS is advantageous
• Substantial experience leading large-scale, cross-functional improvement portfolios that have delivered meaningful and measurable financial and business outcomes
• Strong and structured problem-solving, commercial and analytical capability, with experience developing business cases, evaluating opportunities, prioritising improvement initiatives and tracking benefits through to delivery
• The credibility and influencing skills to work effectively with executives and senior leaders, secure commitment and lead multidisciplinary teams without relying on direct line authority
• A pragmatic, action-oriented approach, combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, constructive challenge and the ability to build capability and embed improvements that last.
