Help Build the Next Stage of KOJA

n

At KOJA, we're on a mission to create healthier snacks that people genuinely love. We're a fast-growing Australian FMCG business, stocked nationally in major retailers, and we're just getting started.

n

As we continue to grow, we're seeking a new role as a commercially driven Finance Manager who wants to do more than report numbers. We want someone who enjoys understanding how a business works, influencing decisions, improving systems, and helping us scale smarter.

n

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves solving problems, embraces technology, and is excited by the opportunity to use AI and automation to build a best-in-class finance function.

n

What You'll Do

n

You'll partner closely with our CEO and leadership team to help drive commercial decisions and keep the business financially healthy.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Delivering monthly management reporting and financial insights.
n
- Leading budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning.
n
- Managing Bookkeeper and support staff
n
- Analysing customer, product and channel profitability to identify growth opportunities.
n
- Supporting pricing, margin and cost analysis across the business.
n
- Partnering with Sales, Supply Chain and Operations to improve business performance.
n
- Identifying opportunities to simplify,



automate and improve finance processes using AI and new technologies.
n
- Building dashboards and reporting that give the team better visibility and faster decision-making.
n
- Supporting audit, compliance and strong financial controls as we continue to scale.
n

n

What You'll Bring

n

We're less interested in how many years you've worked and more interested in how you think.

n

You'll likely have:

n

n
- 3-5+ years' experience in management accounting, commercial finance or a similar role.
n
- Experience in FMCG, manufacturing or another product-based business.
n
- CA or CPA qualification.
n
- Solid analytical skills and the ability to turn data into practical commercial recommendations.
n
- Confidence working across teams and influencing decisions.
n
- A passion for continuous improvement, automation and using AI to work smarter.
n
- Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to roll up your sleeves when needed.
n

n

Why You'll Love Working Here

n

This isn't a traditional accounting role. You'll have a genuine seat at the table and the opportunity to influence how we grow.

n

You'll join a passionate team where:

n

n
- You'll be encouraged to challenge the status quo, embrace technology and continually improve how we work.
n
- Your ideas will be heard.
n
- You'll work directly with the CEO and leadership team.
n
- You'll help shape the future of a growing Australian brand.
n
- You'll have the freedom to improve systems rather than inherit them.
n

n

If you're looking for a role where you can have real impact, not just produce reports, we'd love to hear from you.

n

While this is advertised as a full-time position, we're open to considering a 0.6 - 0.8 FTE arrangement for an exceptional candidate who brings the right experience and fit.
