Head of Finance - High Growth Underwriting Agency

Location: Sydney

Role Benefit: Hands-on role with a balanced operations and strategic focus; Establish a fit for purpose financial control and FP&A function that is underpinned by technology.

Role Overview / Description
Reporting to an entrepreneurial and sector experienced CEO and working closely with an outstanding ELT, this Head of Finance will have full autonomy to lead and drive the finance function to support the ambitious growth objectives. The Head of Finance has primary day-to-day responsibility for all facets of a true strategic finance leader including Financial Stewardship, Financial Operations, Strategic Finance as well as being a Catalyst to support growth. The key success factor for this candidate will be their ability to meet the immediate and critical requirement for financial, analytical and decision support needs of the ELT. The business leaders are highly numerate and analytical, and they will truly rely on this Head of Finance for navigation and guidance. The Head of Finance needs to be hands-on, particularly with all aspects of FP&A including budgeting, forecasting, board reporting and financial stewardship.

The Head of Finance will bring the discipline, process, and leadership capability that is developed from larger organisations. In addition, a rare skill to have, the candidate will also need to be hands-on, agile and creative enough to support business needs to the best of their ability given the resources and time available to them. Leadership agility is absolutely critical for success in this role. Demonstrated ability to duck down into the weeds and then come up above the parapet to make strategic decisions with evidence and data will be critical. Given the start-up to scale-up environment, the candidate needs to be exceptional at creating structure in a world of noise and fast pace. A rare and outstanding role and an opportunity to be part of a relatively new brand with an exceptional growth opportunity ahead.

  • Financial Reporting, Compliance & Governance: Including overseeing compliance activities, financial controls, and accurate reporting and audits.
  • People Leadership: Coach and mentor a small and highly capable team, providing a platform for skills and capability development.
  • Executive Leadership: Partner with the CEO, Executive Team and Board in designing short- and long-term strategy.
  • FP&A: Implement robust and reliable budgeting, forecasting and planning systems and processes.
  • Strategic Decision Support: Provide strategic leadership through modelling, insights and risk and opportunity analysis.
  • Change Leadership: Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and demonstrate executive influence to ensure efficiencies are realised.

Candidate Profile
You are a CA/CPA Finance leader with significant experience across FP&A, Financial Control and commercial finance leadership. With deep experience in the insurance sector, you are currently in a Senior Finance position with aspirations to step into your first CFO role. You have significant experience working with executive leadership teams and are hands-on and agile in nature. A proven track record under fast-paced or scale-up businesses will be highly valued but not a must. You hold a leadership style that will see you thrive in a fast-paced and agile environment. Either way, you will bring to the role strong commercial acumen, high energy, vision for growth, and a passion for sound governance.

The Company

The team are seriously capable; however, they don't take themselves too seriously. The ideal candidate is a team player, fostering a collaborative spirit in celebrating successes. High performance and a commitment to diversity are integral, all within the backdrop of their fantastic CBD offices.
