Our mission is to empower people to realise the full value of their skills. This doesn’t just apply to those who use our product. It’s also for our whooooooole team of go-getters who bring the product to life and deliver impact to our community on a daily basis.

  • Oversee capital allocation, treasury operations, and risk management to optimise financial health and enhance shareholder value.

  • Champion continuous improvement in financial systems, controls, and automation initiatives.

  • Proven leadership experience within ASX-listed or high-growth environments, with a solid grasp of financial reporting requirements.

  • Deep understanding of financial planning, forecasting, modelling, and performance management in scale-up or fast-paced settings.

  • Skilled in managing both financial reporting and FP&A functions, with a track record of driving business performance.

  • Strong commercial acumen and strategic thinking, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and support executive decision-making.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex financial information for non-financial audiences.

  • Experienced in using financial systems such as NetSuite and Workday Adaptive; committed to continuous system and process improvement.

  • Outstanding leadership and people management capabilities, with a focus on coaching, development, and high team performance.

  • Highly organised and detail-oriented, with the resilience to operate effectively in dynamic, ambiguous, and high-pressure environments.

  • Collaborative and curious mindset, committed to governance, innovation, and delivering long-term business value.
