Working closely with senior leaders, you will play a critical role in shaping investment decisions, supporting transformation planning, and ensuring continuity of finance leadership during a key period of delivery.

This is a highly visible position suited to a commercially astute and strategically minded finance leader who can quickly establish credibility, navigate complexity, and deliver high-quality financial insights that inform decision-making.

  • Support continuity of finance governance, reporting, assurance, and decision support processes.
  • Provide leadership and mentoring to finance team members as required.
  • Ensure delivery of core finance outputs, including forecasting, planning, reporting, and performance-related commitments.
  • Act as a trusted adviser to executive stakeholders across the organisation.

About You

You will be a seasoned finance professional with experience operating at a senior leadership level within complex organisations.

You will bring:

  • Extensive experience in strategic finance, financial planning, and commercial or public sector advisory roles.
  • Advanced financial modelling and scenario analysis capability.
  • Demonstrated ability to provide clear, evidence-based advice to senior executives and governance groups.
  • Experience supporting transformation, organisational change, investment decisions, or significant strategic initiatives.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence and build credibility quickly.
  • Experience leading finance teams and providing executive-level leadership cover.
  • A relevant tertiary qualification and professional accounting membership (CA, CPA or equivalent) preferred.

What's on Offer

  • A unique opportunity to contribute to a high-profile transformation programme.
  • Exposure to executive-level decision-making and strategic investment planning.
  • A senior role with significant influence and impact.
  • Flexible engagement options including contract, fixed-term employment, or secondment.
  • Immediate start preferred.

If you are an experienced finance leader who thrives in complex environments and enjoys combining strategic advice, financial modelling, and executive leadership, we would welcome your application.
