Mō te whai waahi | About the opportunity

We’re looking for a financially driven Transport Analyst to take ownership of cost management, financial reporting, and commercial analysis across our national freight network. This role sits at the centre of our transport function, providing the financial oversight, modelling, and performance insights that enable smarter decision-making across our owned fleet, 3PL carrier partners, and Regional Hub network.
