Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

A high-growth Australian e-commerce brand with international operations is hiring their first dedicated FP&A role.

They are founder-led by a very inspirational woman who's built the business from the ground up and still drives it day to day. They've been at the top of the national charts on TikTok Shop - arguably the most influential retail channel right now. And it’s the perfect time to join the business as they scale and build something people actually talk about.

That momentum is putting real pressure on finance to keep up. The building blocks exist, but they were designed for a smaller operation - you'll join an existing finance team but your job will be dedicated to bringing the fp&a and commercial finance function up to speed.

What you'll be doing:

This is a broad role that touches every corner and person in the business. There are four main areas of focus:

• Building the FP&A function – they have processes / templates / reports in place but these haven’t kept up with the business growth. So you’ll be bringing the function up to speed, building it with the tools of today. The business already works with an AI consultant who's embedding AI into a lot of their processes, so you'll be building the function with that lens from day one, not retrofitting it later
• BAU FP&A budgeting, forecasting, sales reporting, channel economics, etc.
• Commercial finance - driving the commercial finance agenda: business case development, pricing decisions, and the analysis that sits behind them
• Business partnering - instilling a more structured, embedded business partnering culture into a scale-up environment.

Why this role:

• A true mix of FP&A, financial business partnering and commercial finance - not a narrow reporting seat, but a role that touches the whole spectrum of what makes a well-rounded commercial finance career
• A build-it-yourself opportunity, rare at this level in an already established company
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and real input into decisions
• Clear runway - as the business grows, so does the function and you’ll be able to shape this
• A social, energetic team culture - fortnightly team lunches, regular events, and a real belief that people do better work when they actually enjoy each other's company.
• Hybrid working – 4 days in the office. Flexi start/finish times.
• Bonus scheme plus a range of staff perks

What you'll need:

• Retail experience is essential - this is non-negotiable. Apparel or fashion retail is ideal; at minimum you'll have worked with high SKU volume, understood supply chain dynamics, and been hands-on with ecommerce
• CA/CPA qualified with solid commercial finance experience and business partnering track record
• Comfort (and experience) working where processes are imperfect - you're someone who improves things rather than waits for them to be fixed
• Curiosity, initiative, and the judgement to know when to ask and when to run with it
