The Opportunity

We're partnering with a growing organisation seeking an experienced Financial Controller to lead a critical inventory system implementation project. This is starting as an initial 3-month contract with potential to extend. 

The Role

This opportunity is ideally suited to a Financial Controller or Senior Finance Manager who has successfully led an ERP implementation within an inventory-based business. While exposure to systems projects is essential, we're seeking a commercially focused finance leader rather than a purely technical IT professional.

You'll act as the bridge between finance, operations and the implementation team, ensuring business processes, controls and reporting requirements are captured and delivered successfully.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage the inventory system implementation from the business side
  • Partner closely with operational stakeholders across inventory, procurement and supply chain functions
  • Review existing processes and identify opportunities for improvement
  • Strengthen financial controls, reporting frameworks and data integrity
  • Oversee data migration, testing and user acceptance activities
  • Ensure inventory transactions and operational workflows are accurately reflected in financial reporting
  • Drive stakeholder engagement and support change management throughout the implementation
About You

We're interested in speaking with professionals who:
  • Have operated at Senior Finance Manager or Financial Controller level within a commercial business
  • Bring a combination of hands-on finance leadership experience and previous involvement leading or driving an ERP implementation from the business side
  • Have worked in inventory-intensive environments such as manufacturing, distribution, logistics, wholesale or similar sectors
  • Possess a strong understanding of inventory accounting, stock controls, working capital and operational finance processes
  • Bring experience across financial control, management reporting, process improvement and stakeholder management
  • Are comfortable partnering with both finance and operational teams to deliver practical business outcomes
  • Enjoy being hands-on and close to the detail, rather than operating purely at an executive leadership level

What's on Offer
  • Immediate start contract
  • Inventory system implementation project
  • Work closely with senior leaders and key stakeholders
  • Opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the organisation's finance and operational processes
Applicants must have full working rights in Australia to be considered.
