Leadership of a Corporate Services team
- Develop financial strategies to optimize commerciality and income diversification
- Shape the future direction of this iconic cultural festival
In 2019, the Victorian Government took the initiative to create RISING, an arts and culture festival with a clear purpose—to build a new major event that tells Melbourne’s story to the world. RISING is a festival that you do, in a city that does it best: music, food, art and culture under moonlight in the heart of Naarm (Melbourne, Australia). A major cultural event for the Asia Pacific Region, the festival is created by a diverse team of local, national and international artists and curators. 2023 brings a moment to reflect and reckon with Australian identity, here and now. A break from business as usual and a chance to rave and revel in the grand and the granular.
Working in partnership with the Co-Artistic Directors | Co-Chief Executive Officers and RISING Leadership team, you will play a key role in the realisation of this ambitious program of site-specific performance, music, theatre, food, wine and public art. As Chief Financial Officer you will lead a broader Corporate Services team across Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Legal, Governance and Office Facilities, to encourage maximum performance and foster a continuous improvement and customer service mindset and orientation.
You will establish the organisational financial strategy, budget and core financial responsibilities, providing strategic advice for the Co-Artistic Directors | Chief Executives and Leadership Team on financial parameters and budgeting approaches. This will include developing strategies to increase commerciality, entrepreneurship and income diversification within the business. You will develop budgets in order to optimise the realization of programming and artistic objectives within parameters set by the Board. Additionally, you will advise the Board on matters of organisational performance and risk management practice as required to assist their deliberations, ensuring compliance with all necessary requirements of statutory and regulatory frameworks relevant to the entity’s role and operations.
To be considered for this role, you will be an experienced senior financial leader, either as a CFO or relevant role. You will have either experience leading or a strong understanding and ability to direct business functions such as HR, Finance, IT, Legal, Governance and Office Facilities. You will have extensive experience in developing financial strategies and budgets in complex operating environments, ideally across arts and culture, food and music. This will include constructing complex models, analysing results to influence future direction, setting strategic financial plans and adapting them as the environment evolves.
You will have sound decision making skills honed from accurate and timely analyses. You possess the ability to think strategically and commercially, influence your colleagues and build an effective team. You can communicate your strategy clearly in a compelling fashion, and your confidence is built from the freedom that comes from structure. You are considered as big thinker who is curious and constantly learning, has strong experience in leading high-performance teams, is results oriented, relishes change and has a desire to constantly evolve practices and adapts to achieve success.
Your experience may not be in the arts or cultural sector, but it will be a passion of yours and you most likely spend some of your free-time experiencing culture. Most of all you need to be passionate about working to build Melbourne’s first major cultural event and a global leader in festivals. Experience in a start-up environment will be highly regarded. Formal qualifications as a CA or CPA are required.
This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to shape the future direction of this iconic cultural institution and be part of a highly engaged and diverse team.
RISING supports flexible working arrangements for staff and a hybrid office/WFH model is currently in place. The RISING office is situated at Level 2, 377 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.
Applications close on Friday 31st March.
