Be more than just the numbers. Be the strategy behind the growth.

We’re partnering with a leading FMCG brand that’s synonymous with household favourites across Australia. As they continue to innovate and grow, they’re looking for a Finance Business Partner who thrives on collaboration, commercial insight, and driving strategic decisions, not just reporting on them.

This role isn’t for someone who wants to sit behind spreadsheets. It’s for someone who wants to be at the table, working hand-in-hand with marketing, sales, category, and supply chain teams to deliver smarter strategies and stronger commercial outcomes.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partnering with Sales & Marketing: Collaborate closely with commercial teams to develop category strategies and support supplier negotiations, using robust commercial analysis to guide decision-making;
• Building the Plan: Own the annual budgeting and forecasting process, ensuring plans are grounded in reality but ambitious in intent;
• Driving Profitability: Identify new opportunities for growth, improve funding ratios, and contribute to supplier negotiations that directly impact the bottom line;
• Optimising Working Capital: Develop and execute strategies to maximise the use of working capital while maintaining strong supplier and customer relationships;
• Leading Insights: Deliver actionable reporting, supplier profitability reviews, and commercial models that help the business make faster, smarter decisions; and
• Innovation Support: Provide financial analysis for new product launches and M&A opportunities, ensuring they align with strategic objectives.

Who You Are

• A commercially curious finance leader, CPA/CA qualified, with 8–10 years’ experience in FMCG, retail or similar fast-paced industries;
• Not just a number-cruncher, a business partner who builds strong relationships across teams, from sales to supply chain;
• Confident in the grey areas, you’re able to translate data into stories that drive action and influence outcomes;
• You’re experienced in supplier negotiations, rebate management, and driving end-to-end P&L ownership;
• Comfortable presenting to senior leadership, but equally invested in mentoring and uplifting those around you;
• Excel is your playground, but you’re also known for your collaborative mindset, proactive style, and passion for improving processes; and
• Someone who thrives in an open, fast-paced environment where ideas are shared, wins are celebrated, and people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

Why This Business?

• Well-known consumer brands with strong market presence;
• Agile, dynamic culture, no red tape, real ownership;
• Genuine seat at the table in driving strategy and performance;
• Supportive leadership, collaborative team environment; and
• Opportunity to influence both commercial outcomes and ways of working.
