Why This Role?

n

About You

n

You are an experienced finance leader who combines strong technical capability with sophisticated commercial judgement.

n

You understand the numbers at a detailed level, but your real value comes from being able to step back, identify what is driving performance and translate that into a clear view of where the business should go next.

n

You are comfortable operating in ambiguity, navigating complexity and making informed recommendations in a fast-moving entrepreneurial workplace.

n

You will ideally bring:

n

n
- 7–10+ years' progressive finance experience, including experience at a senior leadership level
n
- Previous experience as a Head of Finance, Financial Controller, Finance Director or equivalent
n
- Strong financial accounting and commercial finance foundations
n
- Advanced financial modelling, forecasting and strategic planning capability
n
- Proven experience managing cash flow, working capital and financial risk
n
- Experience leading and developing a finance function
n
- Strong commercial acumen and analytical capability
n
- The confidence and credibility to influence and challenge senior stakeholders
n
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to make complex financial information clear and actionable
n
- CA or CPA qualification highly regarded
n
- Experience within retail, ecommerce, fashion, consumer goods or another high-growth, inventory-led business highly regarded
n

n

What Will Make You Successful?

n





You will be commercially curious, highly analytical and naturally proactive.

n

You won't wait for a question to be asked or a report to be requested. You'll identify what matters, understand the story behind the numbers and bring the CEO and leadership team a clear perspective on what is happening, why it matters and where we should go from here.

n

You'll have the credibility to challenge assumptions, the judgement to balance commercial opportunity with financial discipline and the ability to bring structure to a complex and rapidly evolving business.

n

Most importantly, you'll think beyond finance.

n

You'll understand how decisions across product, buying, inventory, marketing, people, operations and international growth ultimately connect to financial performance — and you'll use that understanding to help Billy J make better decisions.

n

The Opportunity

n

This is an opportunity to step into a genuinely influential leadership position within a high-growth Australian ecommerce business.

n

You'll have ownership of the finance function and the opportunity to shape the financial architecture of Billy J as we continue to scale internationally.

n

For the right person, this is not simply an opportunity to manage finance. It's an opportunity to help shape the future of the business.

n

You'll Love

n

n
- Genuine ownership of the financial function within a nine-figure global ecommerce business
n
- A highly commercial role with influence over major business decisions
n
- The opportunity to shape and build the finance function for Billy J's next stage of growth
n
- Exposure to international expansion and increasing global complexity
n
- A monthly RDO
n
- Working alongside an ambitious and passionate team on the Sunshine Coast
n
- A role where your thinking, analysis and recommendations will genuinely influence the direction of the business
n

n

Ready for Your Next Challenge?

n

If you're an experienced finance leader who wants to play a genuine role in shaping a high-growth business, we'd love to hear from you.

n

Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.

n

We kindly ask recruitment agencies to refrain from contacting our team in relation to this role.
