About the Organisation
Grain Trade Australia (GTA) is the leading industry body supporting Australia's grain supply chain and commercial grain trade. Working with members across storage, trading, logistics, processing and exporting, GTA plays a critical role in maintaining industry standards, facilitating trade and delivering services that support the broader grain industry.

About the role
With the current incumbent departing in late August, this role has been created to provide continuity across finance, governance and business operations while the organisation recruits a permanent appointment. An early start is preferred to allow for a handover period.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will step into a broad, hands-on role overseeing finance administration, company secretarial responsibilities, business operations, systems and a small support team. This is an opportunity for an experienced corporate services professional to quickly add value in a collaborative and highly regarded industry association.
