This is a unique opportunity to join one of Australia's leading universities in a highly visible enterprise-wide FP&A role.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the University's enterprise-wide budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning processes.
• Consolidate financial plans from multiple business units, ensuring alignment with corporate strategy and financial objectives.
• Partner with Finance Business Partners to challenge assumptions and improve the quality of financial forecasts.
• Deliver insightful analysis, executive reporting and recommendations to senior leadership.
• Identify organisation-wide risks, trends and opportunities to support strategic decision making.
• Drive continuous improvement across FP&A processes, planning frameworks and financial modelling.

About You & What You'll Bring

• Significant experience within FP&A, commercial finance or strategic finance.
• Experience leading enterprise-wide budgeting and forecasting within a large, complex organisation.
• Strong financial modelling and analytical capability.
• The ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders in a collaborative manner.
• A commercial mindset with the ability to translate financial information into strategic insights.
• Experience within higher education, government or another large matrix organisation will be highly regarded.

Why Apply?

• Enterprise-wide strategic finance role with genuine exposure to executive leadership.
• Influence the University's long-term financial direction.
• Join a collaborative, high-performing FP&A team.
• Sydney CBD location with flexible working arrangements.
• Excellent career development opportunities within one of Australia's most respected institutions.
