This role can be based in either Sydney or Melbourne.

Your new role

As Financial Controller, you will be entrusted with overseeing the full spectrum of financial management across the group. Your core accountabilities will include:

Demonstrate strong leadership and business partnering capabilities

Bring industry experience (highly regarded but not essential)

What you'll get in return

You will work closely with an experienced CFO and within an organisation that has a very flat structure. The c-suite are all very approachable people and actively involve the team in projects and strategic initiatives. While they want this person to be hands-on and really get an understanding of the daily workings of the business, they are also keen for someone to play a part in the decision-making process.
