Monash University is a global leader in research, education and innovation. With a network of campuses covering the Indo-pacific and into Europe, global partnerships - including in the UK and US annual revenue exceeding $3.7 billion and a research portfolio of more than $1 billion, Monash combines the scale and complexity of a multinational enterprise with a powerful purpose—to advance knowledge and improve lives. Ambitious, fast-paced and globally connected, Monash continues to expand its international footprint with the recent announcement of a future campus in Malaysia. The University is investing heavily in data, digital and financial transformation to support its academic and research ambitions. The finance portfolio plays a pivotal role in shaping long-term strategy, driving commercial insight, and enabling informed decision-making across this complex global enterprise.

Leading a team of more than 70 finance professionals, you will enhance financial planning, reporting, analysis and performance frameworks; develop the University's long-term financial model; and embed best practice across budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, research revenue reporting and analysis. This role will lead FP&A transformation, improving forecast accuracy, leveraging analytics and data insights, and building a culture of informed, insight-led decision-making. Working closely with the Chief Financial Officer, and executive leadership, you will influence strategic decisions, ensuring that financial intelligence and advice underpin the University's continued success and global growth.

A strategic thinker and collaborative leader, you combine analytical rigour with exceptional communication and influencing skills. You are adept at translating complex information into clear insights, building trusted partnerships, and developing high-performing teams that deliver measurable impact. Energised by purpose, you are motivated by the opportunity to apply global best practice within a world-class university, contributing to research and innovation that changes lives. Postgraduate qualifications in business, finance or a related discipline are essential.
