- PE BACKED CONSUMER PRODUCTS BUSINESS
- GROWTH & MARGIN EXPANSION
- PARTNER MD OF $300M BUSINESS UNIT

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an accomplished Commercial Finance Executive to join a sizeable, market-leading Australian organisation operating in the consumer products and distribution sector. Reporting directly to the Group CFO, with a close partnering relationship with the Managing Director, this newly created role will take commercial finance leadership of this Sydney based business generating close on $300 in annual revenue. This is not a traditional reporting-focused Finance position. It is a highly commercial leadership role sitting at the heart of the business, responsible for driving better decisions across pricing, margin, revenue growth, customer profitability, tenders, investment and commercial performance.

As the dedicated commercial finance leader, you will work alongside the senior leadership team across Sales, Marketing, Category, Product and Operations.

You will bring financial rigour and independent commercial challenge to key decisions while helping the business identify and execute opportunities for profitable growth.

Key responsibilities will include

- Owning pricing architecture, margin guardrails and Revenue Growth Management (RGM) across the portfolio.
- Leading the financial evaluation of major customer tenders, contracts and pricing agreements.
- Developing sophisticated customer, channel and product profitability and cost-to-serve analysis.
- Driving greater discipline around discounts, rebates, promotional investment and ROI.
- Providing commercial leadership across budgeting, rolling forecasts,



S&OP; and performance management.
- Turning financial and operational data into clear, actionable commercial insights.
- Building robust business cases for growth initiatives and major investments.
- Establishing stronger commercial finance routines, KPIs and decision-making frameworks.
- Leading and developing a high-performing commercial finance partnering team.

We are looking for a commercially minded finance executive who is comfortable operating as both a trusted partner and constructive challenger to the ELT. You will ideally bring:

- Significant senior commercial finance or business partnering experience within a multi-channel, FMCG, retail, wholesale or product-based organisation.
- Demonstrated ownership of pricing, margin and revenue growth initiatives.
- Strong experience influencing senior commercial executives without relying on direct authority.
- Excellent commercial modelling capability across tenders, customer profitability, business cases, scenarios and investment analysis.
- Experience establishing effective forecasting, reporting and business-partnering disciplines.
- Strong analytical capability and confidence working with BI and data platforms.
- The executive presence to operate credibly with a Group CFO, Managing Director and senior leadership team.
- A CA, CPA or equivalent professional qualification.

This is a rare chance to shape the long-term growth agenda of successful business, owning the strategy and execution that will define its next stage of expansion.
