Master the Data Behind Our National Operations Are you an Excel expert who loves digging into complex datasets to find the "why" behind the numbers? Crown Australia is seeking a Senior Branch Operations Service Analyst to serve as the analytical engine of our Service Department. This is a high-impact role where your ability to manipulate large data sets and build robust reporting models will directly influence the operational strategy of our Australian branches. About the Role As the primary analytical lead for the Service team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end data lifecycle—from extracting raw data and performing complex reconciliations to delivering the final performance insights. You will focus on the "mechanics" of our service data, ensuring accuracy in technician productivity, fleet maintenance, and contract profitability. Requirements Key Responsibilities Advanced Excel Reporting: Build and maintain sophisticated workbooks to track National and Branch-level KPIs, including job efficiency and maintenance compliance. Data Validation & Cleansing: Act as the guardian of data integrity, performing regular reconciliations and working with MIS teams to resolve data quality issues. Root-Cause Analysis: Conduct deep-dive variance analysis to identify trends, performance gaps, and opportunities for cost savings. Operational Modeling: Assist in technician capacity planning and service forecasting using historical data and evidence-based modeling. National Support: Manage service system access and provide data-driven support for incentive schemes, lead generation programs, and central purchasing. What You’ll Bring Excel Power User: You must have advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel . You should be comfortable with complex formulas, nested functions, and data manipulation techniques (Power Query experience is a strong plus for automation). Analytical Mindset: A proven ability to interpret raw data, identify anomalies, and translate numbers into actionable business stories. Technical Background: Experience in a service-led or industrial industry (e.g., Forklifts, Heavy Machinery, or Fleet Management) is highly regarded. System Knowledge: Familiarity with ERP platforms (such as AS400, SAP, or IFS) and a strong understanding of how data flows through a service business. Attention to Detail: An uncompromising commitment to accuracy—you are someone who double-checks the numbers before they reach the General Manager. Preferred Qualifications An accounting or finance qualification is desirable, reflecting the level of precision required for this role. Benefits What sets us apart?
