  • Monitor financial performance against budget, highlighting variances and leading corrective action in collaboration with operational teams.
  • Ensure integrity and accuracy of financial data through effective oversight of internal controls, audit preparation, and governance activities.
  • Lead a team of finance officers, providing coaching, mentoring, and professional development to build capability and performance.
  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including auditors and Treasury, to ensure consistent financial stewardship and reporting alignment.
  • Represent the finance function in department-wide initiatives and working groups, influencing policy decisions and reform agendas.
