- Sydney Location
- Partner directly with CEO
- Drive organisation wide operational performance
Our client is one of Australia’s largest privately owned distributors of industrial products and supplies, with a strong reputation across mining, manufacturing, construction, utilities, defence, and engineering. As the business accelerates growth and modernisation, it is seeking a high-calibre Chief Financial Officer to help shape its next chapter.
Reporting to the CEO, the CFO will be a critical member of the executive team, leading financial and commercial performance across a national operation. This role goes beyond stewardship - driving working capital optimisation, margin performance, and disciplined growth in a high-SKU, fast-moving distributor environment.
With a clear mandate for improvement, the CFO will elevate systems, reporting, analytics, automation, and governance to enable sharper decision-making and operational excellence. A key priority will be driving profitability and growth, while strengthening controls, forecasting, and performance frameworks.
We are seeking a commercially astute finance leader with deep experience in wholesale, distribution, industrial, or similarly complex multi-site environments. You bring a proven track record in inventory management, working capital improvement, and financial control, alongside strong ERP and systems capability. Experience in privately owned businesses and leading practical, relationship-driven change will be highly regarded.
Calm, credible, and collaborative, you build trust quickly, communicate with clarity, and influence at all levels.
This is a rare opportunity to play a defining role in the continued growth and performance of a market-leading Australian business.
