Our mission is to make consumer energy resources (CER) affordable and accessible for everyone.

Our founder and CEO, Katherine McConnell, has been awarded Telstra Businesswoman of the year in 2020 as well as winning the Sustainability Crusader award at B&T's 2023 Women Leading Tech Awards. She is a passionate and humble leader who has a human first approach to business.

About the Role

Not many Analyst roles put you in the room with a CEO, CFO and other senior leadership. At Brighte, this one does. You'll work across corporate development and commercial finance, from modelling new revenue streams to building financial frameworks for new products. This role is hands-on, high impact, high-exposure, and spans the full width of how we grow the business.

What You'll Do

Corporate Development

• Drive GTM opportunities end-to-end, from business case through due diligence to execution
• Build financial models and forecasts that blend financial and non-financial data to support investment decisions
• Research new markets, product lines and partnership opportunities and present findings to senior leadership
• Draft presentations, investment memos and board-level papers that are clear, structured and decision-ready

Commercial Finance

• Develop and maintain commercial models that support planning and decision-making across the business
• Partner with operational teams to pressure-test assumptions and sharpen financial analysis
• Translate market trends, competitive dynamics and business performance into strategic insights
• Prepare management reporting, budget analysis and scenario modelling for leadership

About You

• You have solid experience in investment banking, management consulting, corporate finance, FP&A or a related role
• You hold a degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Econometrics or a related discipline - postgraduate qualifications are a plus
• You've used AI to fundamentally change how you work, not as a novelty, but as your default operating mode. You are a deep AI practitioner. You build agents, automations, and tools fluently. You don't just know what AI can do in theory, but you've built things that change how real work gets done.
• You bring strong financial modelling skills and a solid understanding of financial statements
• You are comfortable working in a dynamic and changing environment with ability to juggle competing priorities
• You bring a project management and delivery experience and mindset - you can run a workstream, manage stakeholders and deliver to deadlines
• You're self-motivated, highly organised, are able to work autonomously and are energised by a fast-paced and dynamic work environment
• You're a sharp analytical thinker with strong attention to detail and have the confidence to present findings clearly to senior leaders

What's in it for you?

• Flexible working arrangements to suit individual needs and a hybrid work model. Our office is designed for collaboration, creativity and balance between office engagement and remote flexibility. We work in office 3 days a week and 2 WFH.
• Free lunch! Yes, there is such a thing! Kickstart your week with our Monday Mingle meaning lunch on us and great company. From tacos, to sushi, to charcoal chicken, it's a delicious way to catch up, unwind and connect.
• Get social. We host a range of social activities at Brighte. A fan-favorite being our weekly Thursday social event, where you can catch up with colleagues over a drink, snack and a game of table tennis.
• We want our employees to share in Brighte's success. You will be given an opportunity to join our Employee Share Option Plans (ESOP).
• Snacks galore - who doesn't love that? Our thoughtfully stocked pantry includes snacks to suit your every mood. Fresh bread, protein bars, popcorn, fresh fruit, chocolate, soy crisps, cookies - you name it! We also offer a carefully curated collection of wines and beer on tap for those looking to unwind or enjoy a social moment.
• End-of-trip facilities. Cycle in to work, lock up your wheels and have a shower in our end-of-trip facilities, which come complete with towel service and hair dryers.
• Anniversary leave - your dedication at Brighte won't go unnoticed. Enjoy an extra day to celebrate your work anniversary with us.

Our Hiring Process - what to expect?

At Brighte, we use AI every day, and we hire people who do too. We're looking for people who have lived or are living the AI transformation and will drive this forward at Brighte. That's why all roles include an assessment which is designed to see how you put AI to work. There's no right tool (we use Claude, but you can use whatever you're most comfortable with), and there's no trick to it - we want to see how you think. We will talk about this in more detail if you are invited to a phone screen with our Talent team.

Towards the end of our hiring process, we require all candidates to undertake references and background checks, which include a police check, anti-money laundering and bankruptcy checks.
