the APAC Finance team at On is a fast-paced, high-energy place to be. You will be part of a highly motivated, collaborative regional finance team working out of our regional hubs, all sharing a common goal: premium growth.

This role is based in Melbourne and reports directly to the Regional CFO, while collaborating closely with regional controlling, regional accounting/tax, and Oceania leadership.

Tucked in Cremorne near the business district, On Oceania is just as vibrant and diverse as its surroundings – in fact, most of the team was born elsewhere.

Our distinctive approach combines a supportive, team-oriented atmosphere, with access to personal self-care for both physical and mental well-being, so each person is led by purpose.

Before you get started, feel free to consider if you want to work with us. Strange question? Well, we give people a lot of space to navigate their day-to-day and that style isn't for everyone.
