Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Wirrum Dawang Pty Ltd Full time $80,000 - $120,000 per year
Lead with purpose – strengthen the financial foundations of a growing Aboriginal-led organisation.

Wirrum Dawang Pty Ltd is an Aboriginal-controlled, not-for-profit organisation driving economic empowerment and training opportunities across the East Kimberley (based in Kununurra). We're seeking a skilled Finance Manager based in Darwin to lead financial systems, reporting, and compliance across diverse community enterprises.

This is a chance to use your expertise where it truly matters — supporting local jobs, agriculture, and the development of a new Registered Training Organisation (RTO). You'll work closely with the CEO and Board to deliver accurate insights, sound governance, and strong financial performance.

If you're looking for a meaningful leadership role that blends professional challenge with community impact, Wirrum Dawang offers a rewarding opportunity grounded in integrity, collaboration, and cultural respect.

About the Role

This hands-on leadership role will:

  • Manage the full finance function, including budgeting, payroll, cash flow, and reporting.
  • Oversee compliance with ACNC, ASIC, and ATO obligations, ensuring strong financial governance and accountability.
  • Provide accurate, timely financial insights to support the CEO and Board in strategic decision-making.
  • Support project and program managers with grant budgeting, acquittals, and performance reporting.
  • Liaise with auditors, funders, and partners to maintain high standards of financial management and transparency.
About You

You're a values-driven and detail-oriented professional who can balance strategic oversight with practical delivery. You will bring:

  • CPA/CA qualification and proven financial management experience.
  • Minimum of 3-5 years of financial management experience required.
  • Strong understanding of accounting and compliance frameworks for not-for-profit or Aboriginal organisations.
  • Experience in RTO financial management or funding compliance will be highly regarded.
  • Excellent communication skills and a commitment to ethical, transparent, and accountable financial practice.
  • An understanding of, and genuine respect for, Aboriginal culture and communities.
  • Australian permanent residency or citizenship required.
Why Join Wirrum Dawang
  • Contribute to a growing Aboriginal organisation creating meaningful employment, training, and community outcomes.
  • Be part of an expanding leadership team focused on strong governance and long-term sustainability.
  • Competitive remuneration aligned with experience.
  • Collaborative and supportive work grounded in cultural values and community purpose.
