Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and working closely with the Board, the Chief Financial Officer will play a pivotal role in shaping strategic direction, driving commercial performance and supporting the execution of the company's long-term growth agenda. This is a broad executive leadership opportunity encompassing finance, strategic planning, technology, governance, risk and operational support. Beyond financial stewardship, the CFO will provide commercial insight, challenge and perspective across the organisation, helping to identify opportunities, manage risk and deliver sustainable value creation.

  • Supporting growth initiatives, business development opportunities and potential acquisitions
  • Overseeing technology strategy, digital capability and information governance
  • Leading risk management, compliance and company secretarial responsibilities
  • Building organisational capability and contributing as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team

We are seeking an accomplished finance executive with a proven track record of leadership within complex commercial environments. You will bring strong strategic and commercial acumen, exceptional stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate effectively from both a boardroom and operational perspective.

Candidates will ideally possess:

  • CA or CPA qualifications
  • Significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally at CFO or equivalent level
  • Expertise across financial planning and analysis, governance, risk and compliance
  • Experience within manufacturing, FMCG, consumer products, distribution or similarly complex operating environments
  • Exposure to corporate development, acquisitions or capital projects
  • Strong leadership capability with experience developing high-performing teams
