About the Role

Demonstrated expertise in treasury management, capital structures, funding arrangements and banking relationships.
Proven ability to lead organisational change, strengthen financial systems and improve operational performance.
Exceptional people leadership skills, with a track record of building high-performing teams and achieving results through others.
Highly developed communication, negotiation and influencing skills, with the ability to engage effectively with clinical and non-financial stakeholders.
Strong analytical capability and sound judgement in complex commercial and financial environments.
A collaborative, service-oriented approach, with the ability to build trusted relationships across diverse stakeholder groups.

Experience and Qualifications

Tertiary or postgraduate qualifications in accounting, finance or business, together with CA or CPA membership (essential).
A minimum of 10 years' commercial and financial leadership experience at an enterprise level.
Demonstrated experience in the private sector, ideally within service-based organisations or healthcare environments.
Experience working within partnership, professional services or doctor-owned business structures will be highly regarded.
Experience in mergers and acquisitions, including due diligence and transaction execution, is desirable.
Previous experience engaging with Boards and Audit and Risk Committees is highly desirable.
Experience leading financial transformation, shared services separation or the establishment of independent finance functions will be advantageous.
