About the Company

Our client is a leading global distributor of enterprise cabling, audio visual, communications, and electronic security solutions. Operating for more than 50 years and with a presence across 50+ countries, this Fortune 200 organisation continues to experience strong growth across the Australian and South Pacific markets.

With an established customer base, world-class supplier partnerships, and a strong market position, the business offers an outstanding opportunity for an experienced commercial finance professional to join a global organisation where Finance plays an important role in supporting business growth and strategic decision-making.

The Opportunity An exciting opportunity exists for a Finance Business Partner / Manager - FP&A; to join the South Pacific business, reporting to the Senior Finance Manager - APAC and partnering closely with the Sales Director - South Pacific.

This is a highly commercial finance role, providing the link between Finance and Sales and playing a key role in driving financial performance across the South Pacific business.

This is not a traditional accounting-focused Finance Manager position. The role is centred around commercial partnering, FP&A;, forecasting, budgeting and business performance, working closely with Sales leadership to understand what is driving results, challenge commercial assumptions and provide the financial insight required to make better business decisions.

The initial key focus will be strengthening the forecasting, estimates and budgeting processes across the legacy South Pacific business, improving forecast accuracy and providing greater visibility of revenue, margin and profitability.

As the role develops, the remit is expected to expand to include the another entity, becoming a broader commercial finance partner to another Sales Director across ANZ.





This role is ideal for a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys being close to the business, influencing senior stakeholders and using financial analysis to drive commercial outcomes.
