As an ASX 20 global energy company, we’re committed to providing reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone. 

To make it happen, we work as One Team and ask ourselves, “How can we?” (Even when others say, “We can’t.”) 
We’re proud of our history as pioneers, problem-solvers, and pragmatists. And as we strive to achieve our Vision2040, we’ve got our sights set on a culture that is focussed and disciplined to drive value, and entrepreneurial and energised to leave a positive legacy. 

The difference isn’t just thinking big – it’s delivering on it too.

As the Finance Analyst supporting the Eastern Australia Production Operations Asset, you’ll provide operational financial information, analysis, and business partnering support to Departmental and Area Managers. Working closely with the Financial Controller – Production Operations and broader finance leadership team, you’ll help deliver accurate reporting, insightful analysis, and commercially focused recommendations that drive performance, efficiency, and value creation across the business.
You’ll play a key role in budgeting, forecasting, month-end activities, and supporting operational decision-making, while contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration.

  • Support Joint Venture reporting and process improvement initiatives.
  • Perform month-end accounting, journals, and ledger reviews. 
  • Deliver financial analysis and commentary for Asset Performance Reviews. 
  • Support half-year and year-end reporting requirements.
  • Support audit requirements and maintain compliance with company policies, governance, and accounting standards.

What you’ll bring:

Essential:
  • CA or CPA qualified. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, Commerce, or related discipline. 
  • Minimum 4 years’ experience in finance or accounting roles. 
  • Strong accounting, analytical, and problem-solving skills. 
  • Experience partnering with management across multiple disciplines. 
  • Advanced MS Excel skills and SAP ERP experience.

Desired:
  • Experience within the resources or energy industry. 
  • Joint venture reporting experience. 
  • Intermediate MS Office skills, including PowerPoint. 
  • Experience contributing to process improvement and business performance initiatives. 
What you’ll get:

Here, you’ll be amongst high-calibre people and get to work on industry-leading projects. We don’t shy away from solving tough problems at pace. We like it that way. You can expect to be challenged and supported; to learn and grow. 

At Santos, we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive. This means a place that is safe; where you are valued and respected, and your contribution is recognised and appreciated. Join us, and you’ll play a role in this too.

Each of our sites offer access to specific amenities that aim to create the best possible benefits to your health, wellbeing and performance.  

What you’re part of:

Everywhere you turn you will be a part of a team who are coming together to contribute to our single uniting purpose - to provide reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone

And because it’s not only what you do, but how you do it, you will also contribute to improving the living standards of the communities where we operate, building enduring and respectful relationships that serve a generation. It’s about each of us, and all of us – together.
