About the company
Our client is an award-winning, South Australian advanced manufacturer and engineering business delivering innovative technology to global sectors including Defence, Mining, and Oil & Gas. Based in Adelaide's inner-west, they operate in a highly cooperative "grey collar" environment where executive offices and manufacturing facilities share the same site.

About the role
The Finance & Operations Manager will take on a broad, highly visible position reporting directly to the CEO. This is a hands-on role requiring a leader who is comfortable "rolling up their sleeves" and getting into the operational details of the business. You will oversee financial sustainability and human resources while directly leading a diverse middle-management team of up to 10 staff members.

About you
Demonstrated experience with the following duties will benefit your success:

- Hands-on financial management, reporting, and systems development.
- Managing HR systems, compliance, recruitment, and employee relations.
- Guiding an upcoming end-to-end ERP system transition.
- Managing tax incentives, government grants, and R&D; funding.
- Reviewing business contracts, insurances, and managing risk.
- Collaborating with external accountants to advise on strategic growth.

Tertiary qualifications in Finance, Business, or a related discipline are essential, whilst CA/CPA qualifications are highly desirable.



You will possess a fun, friendly character, excellent communication skills, and a genuine desire to be an active part of a close-knit team.

Why join?
Offering a highly market-competitive salary package plus superannuation, this role is perfect for a driven leader who enjoys being deeply involved in day-to-day operations rather than delegating from afar. Our client offers a stable, team-oriented, predominantly office-based culture with occasional flexibility as needed.
