- Empowered Teams: Build and lead a high-performing finance function that delivers results and fosters continuous improvement.
- Strategic Financial Outcomes: Deliver dynamic forecasting, insightful analytics, and long-term financial strategies that support growth and sustainability.
- Operational Excellence: Ensure financial systems are efficient, compliant, and future-ready, with strong oversight of payroll, insurance, property, and fleet.
- Risk & Governance Leadership: Embed robust governance and risk frameworks that protect organisational integrity and support resilience.
- Compliance & Safety Culture: Champion WHS, audit readiness, and quality standards across all financial operations.

- Proven executive level experience in financial leadership, ideally within not-for-profit or employment services.
- Exceptional strategic planning, financial modelling, and analytical capabilities.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with Board-level reporting experience.
- A collaborative leadership style and commitment to purpose-driven work.
- Full working rights in Australia, valid driver's licence, and ability to pass pre-employment checks.
