Own the numbers. Influence the decisions behind them.
Wellington Electricity delivers electricity to over 176,000 homes and businesses across the capital. Behind that reliability is smart, disciplined decision-making. And that’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Financial Analyst who builds financial models, tests the underlying assumptions, and helps inform decisions on what the business does next.
This is a 12-month fixed-term role working directly with the CFO, senior leaders, and a major regulatory programme (the Customised Price Path or CPP).
What You’ll Own
- Own and operate end-to-end financial forecasting across budgets, reforecasts, and long-term plans
- Building and maintaining integrated financial models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cashflow)
- Scenario modelling, sensitivity analysis, and forecast accuracy improvement
- Translating complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights
- Financial inputs into CAPEX business cases and investment decisions
- Preparing structured financial outputs for the CPP regulatory submission
And critically:
- Supporting CAPEX investment decisions and business cases with robust financial insight
- Preparing and translating financial data for CPP and regulatory submissions
- Ensuring outputs are accurate, structured, and defensible for Board and regulatory use
- Aligning financial forecasts with real delivery assumptions, risks, and constraints
- Identifying trends, variances, and performance drivers — and calling them out early
- Working across systems and datasets (SAP, Power BI, etc.) to ensure data is reliable and fit for purpose
Key Projects
- CPP & Regulatory Investment Case
- Working with Wellington Electricity’s regulatory advisors to operate financial models supporting the CPP, translating historical performance and long-term forecasts into a defensible submission that shapes future pricing and investment.
- Network Investment & Programme Performance
- Supporting CAPEX decisions through modelling, forecasting, and performance analysis, providing insight into cost, timing, and delivery risks across the network.
You will love this role because:
- You build and operate the financial models the business relies on
- You stress-test assumptions and challenge thinking
- You can influence long-term planning and investment
- You will develop an understanding of the value drivers for Wellington Electricity’s business operations
- You play a key role in a business-critical regulatory programme
What You Will Bring
- At least five years experience in financial analysis and forecasting integrated P&L, balance sheet and cashflow.
- Strong financial modelling capability (you’re comfortable building from the ground up)
- Ability to work with large datasets and identify trends, risks, and drivers
- Confidence explaining numbers to non-financial stakeholders
- Exposure to infrastructure, utilities, or regulated environments is a bonus
- Experience with tools like Power BI, SAP, or similar is advantageous
