Chief Financial Officer

The Opportunity

In industries where scale, assets, and capital discipline define success, the role of Chief Financial Officer is more than finance; it's strategy, leadership, and foresight.

This is a rare opportunity for a commercially minded CFO to step into a business poised for expansion through both organic growth and strategic acquisition. With significant operations in an asset-heavy environment, this role demands a leader who can balance growth ambitions with disciplined financial stewardship.

As CFO, you'll:

  • Partner with the Managing Director and leadership team to develop and execute bold growth plans.
  • Lead all finance, treasury, legal, and property functions across a multi-site, capital-intensive organisation.
  • Provide clear commercial insight and strategic advice to support investment, acquisition, and business optimisation decisions.
  • Oversee risk management, governance, and compliance while strengthening systems and processes.
  • Develop and empower a finance team to deliver at pace in a dynamic environment.

The Requirements

This opportunity will appeal to an established CFO from a small to medium-sized business, or a commercially minded 2IC (Finance Director, GM Finance, Group Financial Controller) in a large enterprise, ready to take their first step into the CFO seat. Additionally, you'll be:

  • A CA/CPA qualified leader with experience in capital-intensive, contract-driven industries
  • A pragmatic decision-maker with strong commercial instincts, able to operate at pace in a straight-talking, execution-focused culture

Why This Role May Appeal

  • Dual Location Advantage: Split between Melbourne's western suburbs and the Central Highlands, this role will appeal to commercially savvy leaders living in or around Melbourne's west, seeking both accessibility and variety.
  • Commercial Impact: Beyond finance stewardship, you'll drive contract reviews, pricing decisions, and margin analysis across large-scale, asset-heavy projects.
  • Strategic Growth: You'll be hands-on in supporting M&A activity, financial due diligence, and integration, helping shape the next phase of expansion.
  • Leadership: Lead a capable finance team while building commercial literacy across sales, operations, and engineering leaders.

If this sounds like you, please apply via the link. While we will respond to all expressions of interest, preference will be given to those candidates more closely aligned with the role requirements.
