THE OPPORTUNITY

As the WiseTech Global Group is constantly growing and acquiring new businesses, there is a need to strengthen our finance integration processes to support its growth. This includes scaling up the finance team to ensure continuous development and cross-training among the team.
As a newly created role within the finance team, you will partner closely with various teams within WTG (M&A, Controllership, FP&A, Transactional accounting, Tax) to execute integration projects across our portfolio of acquisitions.
You will be the gateway to the Group for acquired businesses post-acquisition, and as such set the benchmark for ongoing interaction, control, and insight as they adopt WiseTech Global processes, policies, and systems. In addition to obtaining exposure to other businesses’ finance systems, controls and processes, this position will also give you access to the key management of businesses located across the globe. There will also be an opportunity to partner with other areas of the business including sales, legal and business operations to further add value to the group.
You will need to be able to drive change to ensure WTG accounting policies and procedures are adopted and help create content to ensure that policies and change stick. You will also have the chance to execute and improve the integration process that delivers efficiencies across the group.
Sound knowledge of accounting standards, a keen eye for detail as well as a habit of continuous process improvement will be advantageous to you in navigating complex issues as they arise.
This is a global role that will provide you with access to key leaders across the finance function which will allow you to make an impact. The role will be based out of Sydney but will be required to work with all our offices including the 55+ acquisitions made since IPO.
This is an exciting opportunity for experienced finance professionals looking to grow their skillset and to work in an experienced, dynamic and fast-paced environment.
