You will work directly with a Founder & CEO who has built an internationally recognised brand and gain direct exposure to the Board of private equity investors. This brings the opportunity to influence commercial decisions, contribute to the growth strategy and learn from experienced business builders and investors.

The initial remit combines ownership of finance with close involvement in business operations. Responsibilities include:

• Lead financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and working capital management
• Provide commercial insight into profitability by product, customer, channel and country
• Work closely with suppliers, production and logistics teams on inventory, costs and margins
• Oversee international entity reporting, foreign exchange and financial controls
• Develop systems, processes and reporting to support a larger, more complex business
• Lead the finance team and support the CEO, General Manager, Board and investor with clear analysis and recommendations

The scope for career development is substantial. As the business scales, the role is expected to expand across finance, operations and strategy, offering a pathway towards broader CFO-level responsibility. You will have the opportunity to build your investor-facing experience, develop a close commercial partnership with the founder, and take on increasing responsibility as the company grows.

This could suit a Finance Manager or Financial Controller ready to step up from a larger organisation, or someone already leading finance and operations within a smaller business.

We are interested in CA/CPA-qualified professionals with experience in consumer products, FMCG, retail or a related inventory-based business. Practical ownership of reporting, cash flow and inventory, together with an understanding of what drives profitability, will provide a strong foundation. Private equity experience would be an advantage but is not essential.

Applicants must have full working rights in Australia.
