Company

Our client is Australia's largest independent student organisation and the vibrant hub of student life at one of the nation's leading universities. With a $35M annual operation, they deliver a range of services including over 200 student clubs, major festivals, cultural events, food and beverage outlets across multiple venues, and comprehensive student leadership programs.

As a purpose-driven organisation experiencing significant growth and transformation, they're building a dynamic new leadership team to drive the next chapter of their evolution.

The Strategic Leadership Opportunity

We're seeking a transformational finance executive who thrives on strategic influence and organisational impact. This isn't simply a finance role—you'll be a core member of the Senior Leadership Team, driving enterprise-wide decisions and shaping organisational strategy across all business areas.

You'll join during an exciting transformation period, partnering with a collaborative CEO to rebuild and strengthen the leadership team.

Your Strategic Impact:

  • Drive enterprise-wide strategic decision making as a trusted advisor across all business portfolios, not just finance
  • Contribute wisdom, curiosity, and fresh perspectives to challenge groupthink and elevate organisational thinking
  • Lead commercial analysis and business partnering to optimise performance across a dozen+ food & beverage outlets
  • Mentor and develop emerging leaders whilst building organisational resilience during this growth phase
  • Champion innovative approaches to financial sustainability and revenue diversification

The Leader We're Seeking

  • Demonstrate exceptional strategic leadership presence with 7+ years as Finance Director/CFO, particularly in organisations undergoing transformation or growth
  • You can articulate specific examples of how you've contributed strategic value beyond your functional finance expertise in leadership team settings
  • Hold relevant qualifications (CPA/CA) and bring proven expertise in commercial analysis, business modelling, and strategic planning
  • Excel at translating complex concepts into accessible insights for diverse audiences, including young, passionate board members aged 20-25
  • Thrive in collaborative decision-making environments where every leadership team member contributes across all business areas
  • Possess the resilience and adaptability to excel during organisational transformation periods
  • Demonstrate authentic passion for mission-driven work where your strategic leadership directly shapes student experiences

You'll be exceptional if you:

  • Have experience mentoring and developing finance talent in dynamic, purpose-driven environments
  • Bring proven ability to identify and implement commercial opportunities within not-for-profit frameworks
  • Know Sage Intacct, have led transformational system implementations, or understand higher education dynamics

What This Opportunity Offers

Strategic Leadership Platform:

  • Genuine influence over organisational direction as a core Senior Leadership Team member
  • Opportunity to shape and build a new leadership team during an exciting transformation period
  • Direct partnership with a collaborative CEO who values strategic input from all leadership team members
  • Platform to drive commercial innovation whilst maintaining mission alignment

Professional & Personal Rewards:

  • Competitive salary package including comprehensive benefits
  • 35-hour work week with genuine flexibility
  • Professional development focus with opportunities to expand your strategic leadership capabilities
  • Work alongside passionate colleagues committed to student success
  • Lead exciting finance automation and innovation projects

The Challenge & Opportunity:

  • Join during a dynamic rebuilding phase where your strategic leadership will have immediate, visible impact
  • Partner with young, passionate board members who bring fresh perspectives to governance
  • Drive meaningful change in an organisation that touches thousands of student lives daily

Ready to step into a strategic leadership role where your finance expertise becomes the foundation for broader organisational impact? We're looking for someone who sees finance as a strategic enabler, not just a support function.

Our client is committed to creating an inclusive workplace and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
