About us
We have a straightforward mission: meet each customer at their actual situation and match them to the right product, brand and terms for where they are today, so they can get moving tomorrow. We deeply believe in our values and expect the CEO to also: show up and back each other, say it straight, and find the right way.
About the role
This isn't a strategy-only seat. You will run the business, not just direct it from above.
- Own commercial and growth performance across Alpha Finance and Carzie
- Hold oversight of Operations working alongside the GM, Operations alongside the commercial performance — the operating rhythm, delivery and productivity standards are yours to run, as much as report on
- Build a funding strategy from scratch, and set a clear, Founder-agreed path toward a future exit — trade sale, M&A;, or IPO
- Bring Operations, Finance and HR together as one team with shared priorities and vision, instead of three functions running their own race
- Build and lead the senior leadership bench as the group scales
- Set the culture and performance bar for a still-small team — at ~15 people, what you model daily is what the business becomes
- Represent the group externally — lenders, investors, funding partners, industry — especially given the funding and exit work ahead
- Keep the group compliant and well-governed (NCCP Act, ASIC, responsible lending) while there's no Board yet to share that load
- Own fleet strategy — acquisition mix, volume and timing — as a direct commercial decision, working in tandem with Operations
- Carry accountability for residual value and disposal risk across the fleet, and how that risk shows up in the P&L;
- Apply the same commercial rigour to buy/hold/dispose fleet decisions as to lending and credit decisions
About you None of this is a checklist you need to tick every line of — the right person will likely already be strong in some of these and stretch into the rest.
- You've led a P&L; before, ideally in financial services, consumer lending, or automotive/asset finance — and you've run the operations, not just owned the commercial number
- You've personally scaled a commercial or sales function, and know funnel mechanics well enough to diagnose a stalled number yourself
- You've raised capital and/or taken a business through a sale, merger, or listing — this is close to the point of the hire, not a nice-to-have
- You've built culture and a high-performance bar in a small, growing team before — not just maintained one that was already set
- You're comfortable in a founder-led business with no Board yet — this is build-the-team work, not just run-the-team work
- You know your way around NCCP/ACL obligations, or can get there fast
- You live our values: you find the right way to run this business, not just any way, and you say it straight even when the target's being missed
What we offer
- A genuine mandate to build the group's funding and exit story from the ground up
- Full ownership of a three-brand group, not a narrow lane inside one
- The chance to shape culture and performance standards from a still-small base, not inherit someone else's already-set tone
- A Founder who's ready to step back from day-to-day running and hand over real accountability
- A business already generating leads and revenue — you're not starting from zero
- Competitive remuneration with STI/LTI tied to growth, funding and exit outcomes
