Finance Manager

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for a senior finance leader who wants to do work that matters. You'll step into a pivotal role within a large, complex public sector organisation; one where your expertise in revenue management, rating administration and people leadership will directly shape how a community is funded and served.
  
Reporting to the CFO, you'll lead the full revenue and rating function; the Rating Information Database, Rating Administration, Non-Rates Revenue, and Credit Control. It's a broad remit with real influence, and plenty of room to make your mark.
  
What you'll be doing:
  

• Turning strategic priorities into practical revenue plans that keep income streams reliable
• Making sure rates assessments, billing and the Rating Information Database are accurate, compliant and audit-proof
• Sharpening how rates and non-rates debts are collected through smarter frameworks and hands-on debt management
• Overseeing development contributions and growth funding in partnership with planning and infrastructure teams
• Finding better ways to do invoicing;  more automation, less duplication, clearer ownership
• Leading and growing a talented, multi-disciplinary team

  
What you'll bring:
  

• A background in revenue, rating, billing or finance operations; ideally somewhere complex and regulated
• Experience leading teams through change, with a genuine coaching mindset
• Solid grasp of the revenue lifecycle, debt management and credit control
• Comfort with high-volume systems, data quality and process improvement
• An understanding of te ao Māori and te Tiriti o Waitangi — or a real commitment to building it

  
This is a role with genuine scope and a team worth leading; in a region that's growing fast and has big ambitions for its community.
