Adelaide, South Australia Underwood Executive Full time $180,000 - $250,000 per year

/ Lead Enterprise-Wide Financial Control at Scale

/ Drive Strategic Projects & Impact Performance

/ Join an Innovative Energy Leader Powering SA's Sustainable Future

SA Power Networks (SAPN)
is a leader in South Australia's energy industry, responsible for delivering electricity to over 1.7 million customers as the state's sole electricity distributor. It's about more than simply keeping the power on – SAPN is an innovator, focussed on connecting South Australians to a better energy future, today. With a workforce of over 2,900, the business is focused on delivering strong commercial outcomes while upholding its commitment to customers, community and sustainability. The finance function plays a key role in enabling performance, ensuring accountability and supporting the organisation's long-term success.

As the strategic guardian of financial integrity, the
Head of Financial Control
ensures SAPN stands on a solid financial foundation. Reporting to the CFO, this influential role safeguards the organisation's financial reporting, tax compliance and internal controls, while aligning with owner agreements and corporate governance expectations. Acting as a key conduit between external auditors, owners and senior leaders, this role is central to delivering accurate, compliant and insightful financial stewardship. From balance sheet oversight and ESG reporting to leading finance systems optimisation and asset-related strategy, this is a pivotal leadership position that underpins operational excellence, guides informed decision-making and drives continuous financial improvement across the organisation.

A seasoned finance executive, preferably with a Big 4 pedigree, you have built a career in large, complex corporate environments. A qualified accountant, you bring deep technical expertise and commercial acumen to the table. Ideally, you have worked in a regulated business, such as utilities, infrastructure, or financial services and understand the rigour required to meet compliance, governance and stakeholder expectations. You've successfully led high-performing teams and know how to build capability, drive accountability and foster a strong culture. Confident with complexity, you're a trusted advisor to Boards and senior executives, a natural influencer and a champion of transformation.

This is more than a financial control role. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of finance at SAPN. If you're energised by complexity, change and making an enterprise-wide impact, this is your opportunity to be part of something bigger.

Applications should be forwarded to the attention of Nicole Underwood in Word format. Confidential enquiries are welcome to Nikita Bheem on
