Our client is a global manufacturing leader operating at the forefront of data infrastructure innovation. With an impressive customer base that includes hyperscalers and top-tier global organisations, they are one of the few businesses worldwide doing what they do, and doing it exceptionally well.

Following significant growth across APAC, rapid expansion in Australia, and the successful acquisition of a large operation in Vietnam, the business is now scaling at pace. Headcount has doubled in the last 12 months through a mix of organic growth and multiple international acquisitions, and the momentum is not slowing.

They are now seeking a Chief Financial Officer, APAC, to step into a highly visible, commercially focused role and help shape the next phase of growth across Australia, Southeast Asia, and Vietnam.

Navigating ambiguity and rapid change, bringing clarity and structure while keeping pace with the business
Playing a key role in post acquisition integration and ongoing scaling initiatives
Committing to regular overseas travel across APAC, often at short notice

What They’re Looking For

A senior finance leader operating at Regional Finance Director level or equivalent
Proven experience within manufacturing environments is essential
Highly commercial, close to the business, and comfortable influencing at the executive level
Confident stepping into a C-suite role, or a proven CFO looking for a broader regional mandate

Only applicants with manufacturing experience will be shortlisted.

A genuine APAC CFO mandate with global visibility
Exposure to cutting-edge technology and infrastructure projects
An opportunity to make a tangible impact inside a high-performing global organisation
