Finance Manager

++Not a traditional Finance Manager role++

Smartrak is a fleet telematics and EV fleet management SaaS business operating across Australia and New Zealand. As we continue to grow and evolve, we're looking for an experienced Finance Manager to join our leadership team and help drive the next stage of our success.

Reporting directly to the CEO and sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, you'll be a trusted adviser to the business, providing strategic financial leadership, commercial insight, and guidance that supports informed decision-making.

This is more than a traditional Finance Manager role. You'll combine financial stewardship with commercial partnering, leadership, and business improvement. You'll inherit a capable and highly engaged finance team of three direct reports, giving you the opportunity to focus on developing capability, influencing business performance, and contributing to strategic initiatives across the organisation.

Working closely with leaders across the business, you'll strengthen financial planning, improve visibility of performance, identify opportunities and risks, and help ensure Smartrak is well positioned for long-term success. You'll also play an important role in future initiatives spanning finance systems, billing processes, automation, AI adoption, and broader business transformation.

If you enjoy influencing decisions, building strong teams, improving performance, and making a genuine impact, we'd love to hear from you.

About You

You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great finance teams do more than report results. They help the business make better decisions.

You combine strong commercial judgement with a practical, hands‑on approach. You're comfortable analysing complex information, identifying trends, challenging assumptions, and providing recommendations that create value.

You communicate with confidence and credibility. Whether presenting financial performance to executives, facilitating planning discussions, or helping operational leaders understand key business drivers, you're able to translate financial information into clear, meaningful insights.

You're comfortable operating in a fast‑moving environment where priorities evolve and business needs change. You can balance strategic thinking with operational delivery while maintaining a focus on outcomes.

You enjoy leading and developing people. You create clarity, build accountability, and help others grow and succeed.

You're naturally curious and continuously looking for better ways of working. Whether through process improvement, technology, automation, or AI, you're motivated by opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Above all, you're excited by the opportunity to contribute beyond finance and play a meaningful role in the future success of a growing SaaS business.

We're looking for

someone who brings both expertise and fresh thinking to the table.
