About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to lead finance at one of Australia's growing retail brands. As Finance Manager, you'll sit at the heart of the business - owning financial reporting, driving commercial insight, and building the controls and processes that support our next phase of growth.
Reporting to the CFO, you'll lead the Finance Team and be a trusted partner to leaders across the business, applying your financial expertise where it counts and making your mark as the business scales.
This role suits someone who's just as comfortable rolling up their sleeves and getting into the detail as they are thinking big picture. You'll be hands-on in the day-to-day, whilst also driving the process and systems improvements that will set the business up for its next stage of growth. This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys both the execution and the evolution.
If you're looking for a role where your expertise is genuinely valued, and where strong financial management and commercial thinking go hand in hand, this is it.
