A bit about your role

As the Executive Manager Commercial Finance, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial success of nbn's long-term business plan. Sitting within the Deputy Chief Financial Officer's extended leadership team, you will partner closely with senior leaders across the organisation, including ExCo, EGM and GM levels, to deliver transparent, timely and strategic financial insights that influence commercial decisions and drive performance.

This is a role where your voice matters. You'll be at the table where decisions are made, guiding financial strategy with clarity and purpose. You'll lead with empathy and conviction, fostering a culture of inclusive leadership, personal growth and transformational thinking.

You bring more than a decade of expertise in financial reporting, strategic planning, and operational excellence, and you're known for your ability to synthesise complex information into clear, actionable insights.

Your approach is collaborative and thoughtful. You build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, influence with integrity, and communicate with clarity.
