Under this new brand, we're taking our long-standing heritage into a new era, empowering a brighter future with security and confidence.

Our values-driven business strives for high performance and growth as we look towards the future. As part of the global Nippon Life Group, we will enhance our capabilities and further strengthen our enduring commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything we do.

We believe that when people have the support, clarity, and confidence they need, they can do their best work and build a future they're proud of. We encourage our people to take life on – inside and outside of work – to grow and make a real impact for our customers, partners, and each other.

The role

We currently have an opportunity to join our Finance team as Finance Business Partner in a 6-month fixed term position. This opportunity is open to work from our Melbourne office in conjunction with our hybrid work from home options.

  • Develop and broaden connection to full operational and performance metrics relevant to each stakeholder
  • Production of key analytical insights which are communicated clearly to stakeholders
  • Complete budgeting, forecasts and reporting for Technology function within Acenda
  • Observe and create a strong understanding of Acenda's products and operational procedures
  • Proactively manage risk; meet all policy and compliance requirements; perform controls; adhere to Process and Procedures pertinent to role; and escalate events, issues or breaches as they are identified (risk accountability forms part of all roles, as everyone is responsible for managing risk and compliance).
About you
  • Tertiary qualification relevant to the role
  • CA or CPA qualification
  • 1-3 years' experience within Finance industry (Life Insurance sector highly sought after)
  • Ability to build effective relationships across all levels of an organisation
  • Ability to work across different language/cultural and organisational styles
  • Proven ability to manage multiple deliverables simultaneously
Bringing our best to life - why join us?
  • We do work that makes a genuine difference to our customers, partners and community.
  • We have a supportive, inclusive and flexible team culture, including hybrid working.
  • We support your growth and development, and careers across our business units and teams that are as unique as our people.
  • We reward and celebrate our successes, through our incentive and recognition programs.
  • We offer tools, resources and benefits to support your wellbeing, including additional lifestyle leave.
  • We connect and celebrate our diversity at work through our social committees and employee groups, and we contribute to our community with paid volunteer leave and through our Reconciliation Action Plan and sustainability commitments.
