Hospitals make big decisions on gut feel more often than they'd like to admit. CBS exists to change that. We build the costing and business intelligence tools that give healthcare managers across New Zealand, Australia and beyond a clear, accurate picture of what things actually cost, so they can make better calls with real numbers instead of guesswork.
Job DescriptionWe're after a Costing Analyst to join our Australian team, based in Melbourne. You'll dig into a client's costing data, ask the right questions, and turn a pile of numbers into a costing model and a set of dashboards that actually mean something to the people running the hospital. You'll get hands-on with CBS's own tools (CostPro, IntelPlus and FocusPro), work directly with clients, and occasionally take that expertise on the road to our Middle East clients.
This role isn't about ticking boxes. It's about the kind of mind that can't leave a number alone until it makes sense.
QualificationsYou'll fit right in if you've got:
- A tertiary qualification in Finance, Commerce, Accounting or a related business or healthcare discipline.
- A logical, curious mind that likes pulling a problem apart to see how it works, this matters more than any single line on your CV.
- Comfort operating across multiple computer systems and BI tools (e.g. SQL Server, Power BI, Sisense), and confidence learning new software
- No fear of learning new systems or software.
- A genuine interest in healthcare, even if you've never worked in it
- Bonus points if you know activity-based costing.
At CBS New Zealand, we're not just building software—we're transforming the way healthcare organisations understand costs, improve performance, and deliver better patient outcomes. Our innovative solutions are trusted by hospitals across New Zealand, Australia, and beyond, empowering better decisions through world-class patient costing, billing, and business intelligence.
If you're passionate about solving complex problems, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want your work to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you. Join a team of talented innovators where your ideas matter, your growth is supported, and your work has a lasting impact on healthcare.
