Job Description
Auckland Transport (AT) is on a mission to transform Auckland into a vibrant city that moves, so that Aucklanders can connect with the people and places they love. Be part of Auckland's exciting future and development. From transport infrastructure to customer-focused solutions, we're creating seamless journeys across our city that enable businesses and Aucklanders to thrive.
Regardless of your choice to walk, cycle, drive, take the ferry or train, we are passionate about working together to deliver safe, efficient, innovative and sustainable options whilst providing a transport system that will create a vibrant and connected Auckland. Transport has the potential to shape our city for the better - from the streets we live, work and spend time on, to the trains, bus services, cycle and walkways we use every day.
Te whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity
We have a fantastic fixed-term opportunity for a Capital Business Partner to join our Capital Performance and Projects Team within Finance. Partnering with decision makers, this role will not only provide effective financial management, advice and guidance, it will act as a coach and mentor to stakeholders.
You will ensure your business teams have access to critical financial information, provide commercially insightful financial advice, and proactively educate and challenge business leaders to understand and utilise this for decision-making, financial stewardship, and performance measurement against business plans.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced financials expert to work within a complex and varied environment where you can see the tangible and overt outcomes within the community from your work. With exceptional technology to support your daily activities, you will spend more time in the business than behind your desk.
