Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia Armidale Regional Council Full time $70,000 - $120,000 per year

Who We Are

Armidale Regional Council is more than a local government. We're a catalyst for change, a champion for community and a steward of progress. From Guyra Saleyards to transformative infrastructure, we're building a region that's resilient, inclusive and future-ready.

About you

We're not just hiring a CFO. We're inviting a culture-shaper, a financial visionary, and a leader by example.

As our CFO, you'll:

  • Architect financial strategies that fuel regional growth and community wellbeing.
  • Champion a culture of well-being, commitment, inclusion and transparency.
  • Lead with empathy, clarity and courage—your actions will set the tone.
  • Translate complexity into confidence for councillors, staff and stakeholders.
  • Be the trusted voice in the room when decisions matter most.

You Might Be the One If You...

  • See spreadsheets as stories and budgets as blueprints for impact.
  • Believe culture isn't a buzzword, it's the heartbeat of high-performing teams.
  • Lead with humility and strength, knowing that example is the most powerful form of leadership.
  • Can navigate both the Council Chamber and the grass roots with equal grace.
  • Are ready to help shape the future of Armidale, not just manage its finances.

What You'll Get

  • A seat at the Executive table where real change begins.
  • A high performing Executive Leadership Team.
  • The opportunity to leave a legacy that matters—to the Council, the community and the region.
  • Flexibility, autonomy and the support to lead boldly.
