About You
You will be an experienced business or finance professional who is comfortable operating across both strategic and hands-on operational responsibilities.
You'll bring strong commercial judgement together with the interpersonal skills required to work effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders.
Ideally, you will have:
Experience in a senior business management, finance management or similar leadership position
Strong financial management, budgeting and reporting capability
Excellent commercial and analytical skills
Experience managing multiple operational functions and competing priorities
Strong leadership and people-management capability
Sound understanding of governance, risk and compliance
