Kia ora!

Why this role matters

Finance Operations sits at the heart of what we do—keeping our financial data accurate, our controls strong, and our operations running smoothly.

In this role, you’ll be a trusted expert, owning complex reconciliations, strengthening controls, and helping us continuously improve how we operate. You’ll work closely with the Head of Finance Operations and play a key role in ensuring we deliver with confidence, accuracy and integrity.

• Strengthen and maintain manual and automated controls
• Identify risks and opportunities, and help drive process improvements

• A proactive mindset—you take ownership and make things happen
