Business Performance Analyst – Food Manufacturing

Melbourne | Food Manufacturing | Power BI + Systems Integration About Us

We’re an established Australian food manufacturer producing for major supermarket, airline and export customers. We’re looking for a Business Performance Analyst who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves — someone who loves being on the factory floor, understanding how things actually work, and using data to drive measurable improvement across yield, labour, waste and profitability.

What You’ll Do

• Spend time on the floor understanding our production processes, equipment performance, and recipe validation.
• Analyse yield, labour, waste and efficiency data to find opportunities for improvement.
• Build clear, automated Power BI dashboards connecting data from Fishbowl, QuickBooks and other systems.
• Lead cost-saving and efficiency projects across procurement, scheduling, operations and QA.
• Drive accountability by embedding KPI tracking and performance meetings with each department.
• Support new equipment trials, ROI assessments and grant applications with real data.

What You’ll Bring

• Have experience in manufacturing or food production operations and love being close to the process.
• Know your way around Power BI, SQL, or similar analytics tools.
• Understand production metrics like yield, waste %, labour hours, and OEE.
• Are practical and action-oriented — you don’t just report numbers, you go and see why.
• Can communicate across all levels — from operators to senior management.

Why Join Us?

• A role where your insights directly shape decisions and profitability.
• The chance to lead cross-functional improvement projects with visible impact.
• Supportive leadership that values initiative, ownership, and curiosity.
• Work with a proud Australian business supplying major retailers and airlines.

Next Steps

If you’re someone who can balance data with hands-on understanding — and want to be part of a business driving real performance — we’d love to hear from you.
