Your Opportunity
We know that the key things that you look for when considering a new position are career development, stability, a great leader, autonomy, and flexibility; well, this position will give you all of this.
Based in the CBD with 2-days per week WFH, you'll assume leadership of the Finance team in the Australian entity of a global business. You will partner with a very experienced CFO as her 2IC, and she is committed to providing you with all the support, guidance, and development that you'll need whilst giving you the space and autonomy to make this position your own.
The CFO has an exceptional background that is a mix of international and Australian experience meaning that you'll get firsthand exposure to how a CFO within a global business operates. It also helps that she is great in person so not only will you develop your career, but you'll enjoy working with her and you'll form a strong relationship.
You will join a business that is supported by a larger global group (approx. EUR550m t/o) who provide stability and who are also committed to continued investment and subsequent growth here in Australia.
You will gain extensive professional development, and this position will elevate your career putting you on the path to bigger things.
The business is growing and with growth comes change, and as such, you'll be at the forefront of transformation with a pending ERP implementation and your position in Finance will be key to the smooth adoption.
