Lead the finance function. Influence the strategy. Help shape the future.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll become a trusted commercial partner responsible for strengthening business performance, improving financial outcomes and helping prepare the organisation for its next stage of growth. A future corporate transaction is being considered, making this an exciting opportunity to have genuine strategic influence.

This is a highly visible executive position where you'll work across every part of the business-not just the finance function.

n

You'll partner closely with operational leaders to understand what drives performance, influence commercial decisions and provide the financial insight required to support sustainable growth.

n

Success in this role will come from your ability to move seamlessly between boardroom strategy and operational execution.
