We are partnering with an innovative Australian biotechnology business backed by sophisticated investors.

With a growing recurring revenue base and significant expansion plans across Australia, Europe, the Americas and Africa, the business is entering an exciting phase of commercial growth.

You will be a hands-on CFO with strong capability across financial reporting, governance, systems and building scalable finance functions. Commercially astute, you will bring experience supporting business growth, ideally across international markets, with exposure to M&A, capital raising or corporate development advantageous. An entrepreneurial mindset, sound judgement and the ability to partner confidently with founders, investors and the Board are essential.
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in scaling a differentiated Australian business with established technology and significant international potential. Working directly with the founders, you will influence corporate strategy and help shape the next phase of growth.
