- Industry experience in Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, or FMCG will be highly regarded

You will work side by side with a globally experienced CEO who is driving growth in the Australian business, while playing a pivotal role in shaping strategy and supporting acquisitive expansion. With clear visibility as the successor to the APAC CFO, the role offers genuine long-term progression. Just as importantly, you’ll be part of a leadership team that is collaborative, people-first, and outcome-driven, where employee well-being is valued as highly as performance.
