About the role
We're hiring a Finance Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of finance for our global B2B business — this is a pivotal role within a high performing global Finance team at 3P Learning, an ASX-listed, purpose driven EdTech organisation marking a difference in the lives of millions of students worldwide through our suite of industry-leading products, including Mathletics, Reading Eggs, Mathseeds, and Writing Legends.
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll run a multi-region team that delivers timely, accurate financial outputs for the B2B segment of 3P Learning, and act as a partner to commercial leaders across APAC, EMEA and AMER. This is a senior operational leadership role with strong visibility to the Director, Finance.

- Coach and develop the broader team, setting clear standards and providing managerial support to effectively engage and motivate the team.
- Partner with regional Sales and Commercial leaders on deal pricing, margin analysis, contract reviews and commission inputs — escalating material judgement calls to the Global Head of Finance.
- Own the monthly close, KPI reporting and CFO pack inputs for the B2B segment.
- Operate revenue governance day-to-day in a SaaS / Education Technology environment, in alignment with Group policy and relevant accounting standards.
- Drive working capital outcomes — DSO, collections and credit risk — in partnership with the AR team.
- Run the annual cost allocation, budget inputs and forecast tracker for the segment.
- Govern data and change requests across NetSuite, Salesforce and Adaptive Insights.
- Identify and lead automation and process improvement initiatives.
- Build scenario models (growth, churn, pricing, headcount, market or product entry) to support senior decision-making.
What you'll bring
- Extensive finance experience, including leading finance teams — ideally managing team members across multiple regions or time zones.
- CA, CPA or equivalent professional qualification.
- Demonstrated experience operating revenue recognition policy in a SaaS, subscription or recurring-revenue environment.
- Strong FP&A toolkit — driver-based forecasting, variance analysis and scenario modelling.
- Hands-on NetSuite experience (essential); Salesforce and Adaptive Insights highly regarded.
- Comfort working across multi-currency, multi-entity, listed-company reporting cycles.
- Track record of delivering finance process and systems improvements.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
- Clear, concise communication and the ability to brief senior stakeholders effectively.
- Strong controls and governance mindset, with high personal integrity.
