Help shape the financial future of an ASX-listed technology business operating across connected devices, mobile telecommunications and subscription-based services.
About Spacetalk
Spacetalk (ASX: SPA) is an Australian technology company delivering connected devices, mobile telecommunications and innovative software solutions designed to keep families connected and safe.
We are evolving into an integrated, subscription-led technology business, combining connected hardware, mobile data plans and recurring software and service revenues.
With an established Australian presence and international operations spanning the United Kingdom and Germany/European Union, alongside potential expansion into the United States, we are entering an exciting phase of commercial transformation and growth.
As our business model evolves, so too does the complexity of our financial operations, reporting requirements and commercial decision-making.
We are seeking an experienced Financial Controller who brings the technical expertise, commercial insight and operational discipline to strengthen our finance function and support our next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer, you will take ownership of Spacetalk's financial accounting, reporting, compliance and control environment while playing an important role in commercial financial planning and analysis.

You will work closely with the CFO, executive leadership team and operational stakeholders to improve financial visibility, strengthen forecasting capability and support commercially sound decisions across our Australian and international markets.
We are looking for someone equally comfortable managing the technical requirements of an ASX-listed company and getting into the detail of revenue models, margins, working capital and financial systems.
This is a Sydney-based role, with four days per week working collaboratively from our office and the flexibility to work from home one day per week.
