4 days ago

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Private Advertiser Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
About the Opportunity

A leading Australian fast-moving manufactured goods group is seeking a Group Executive – Finance & Commercial (GEFC) to lead its next phase of strategic and operational transformation.

This newly created role sits above the CFO and unites finance, procurement, pricing, and analytics into a single performance-driven function. You'll bring financial discipline, commercial judgement, and strategic foresight to a rapidly scaling national business.

The GEFC will ensure financial reporting, procurement, and commercial decision-making are aligned — driving profitable growth through insight, efficiency, and execution.

In This Role, You Will
  • Lead all group finance, procurement, and commercial functions, ensuring alignment between cost control, pricing, and profitability targets.
  • Partner with business leaders to design and implement customer pricing frameworks that are evidence-based and market-responsive.
  • Collaborate closely with the Group Data Scientist to embed analytics, predictive modelling, and commercial dashboards that translate data into decision-making tools.
  • Drive procurement strategy, supplier negotiations, and cost-reduction initiatives across raw materials and packaging.
  • Integrate financial reporting, budgeting, and performance KPIs into a unified decision-support architecture.
You're a Great Fit If You Have
  • Extensive leadership experience in the fast-moving manufactured goods (FMMG or FMCG) sector — ideally within food, packaging, or industrial manufacturing.
  • Proven success in linking financial and operational data to pricing, procurement, and commercial outcomes.
  • Demonstrated capability in customer pricing, cost-base management, supply-chain optimisation, and commercial analytics.
  • A strong understanding of financial reporting, FP&A, and strategic performance frameworks.
  • Professional qualifications such as CA, CPA, CFA, or MBA are highly regarded.
  • Exceptional commercial acumen, influencing skills, and experience engaging at board or investor level.
What's on Offer
  • Executive remuneration package with performance-based incentives.
  • Mandate to shape an integrated finance, procurement, and analytics ecosystem from the ground up.
  • Direct reporting to the Board, with authority to deliver measurable commercial results.
  • Strategic oversight across a national manufacturing and distribution footprint.
  • Hybrid work flexibility and visibility across group operations.
About the Company (Confidential)

This Australian-owned enterprise operates across fast-moving manufactured goods, distribution, and logistics, supplying retail, wholesale, and institutional clients nationwide. The business is well-capitalised, growth-focused, and investing heavily in technology, data, and procurement capability to build a new era of operational excellence.

This is a rare opportunity for a commercially minded finance leader from the FMMG or FMCG space to build and lead a modern commercial architecture — transforming financial and operational data into decisive business action.
