To be considered for this role, you will need a tertiary qualification in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, or Business, with eligibility for membership to ICAA, CPA, or IPA. Your leadership will be crucial as you guide and mentor your team members, encouraging a collaborative and knowledge-driven environment to enhance capability and performance. A strong understanding of accounting practices, including the Financial Management Act, Treasurer’s Instructions, and Australian Accounting Standards, is essential.

About You

  • Well-developed management and leadership skills and ability to mentor, coach and develop team members.
  • Highly developed interpersonal, verbal, written communication and presentation skills, including demonstrated ability to work with colleagues in a positive manner.
  • Proven ability to evaluate and design management information to address financial and operational performance.
  • Highly developed conceptual and analytical skills with a proven ability to analyse complex financial information and data from an operational perspective within time, financial and corporate constraints.

Moving millions of people requires the skill and commitment of a talented workforce, and at the PTA, we are dedicated to delivering on our vision and purpose while upholding our values every step of the way.

You can expect.

  • Opportunities to grow through personal development and career pathways.
  • Health and Wellbeing programs including access to a free 24/7 onsite Gym.
  • Subsidised Corporate Apparel and Spectacles
  • Supportive Team Environment
  • Opportunity to join our Social Club offering savings and benefits all year round.
