A leading University in Sydney is seeking an independent, commercially-minded Finance Manager to drive business case development and analytical work. This role requires someone who can work effectively behind the scenes, focusing on the bigger picture without getting lost in the details.

About the Role:

Seeking a commercially driven Finance Manager who can seamlessly blend analytical rigor with strategic insight. In this role, you will collaborate with an established analytics team, supporting business cases, financial analysis, and strategic initiatives. This position requires someone who knows how to balance detail-oriented work with high-level strategic thinking, working independently to provide valuable financial insights that drive business growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and develop business cases to support key financial and operational decisions, providing clear insights that align with broader business goals.
  • Take ownership of finance tasks, from detailed analytical work to higher-level financial strategy.
  • Collaborate with a team of analysts, refining their data to tell the "big story" and supporting them with commercial context.
  • Work independently, supporting the team’s objectives by delivering reliable, strategic financial insights behind the scenes.
  • Adjust focus effectively, knowing when to dive into the details and when to step back for a wider perspective.


Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Strong financial acumen with a commercial mindset, capable of discerning strategic priorities from detailed data.
  • Proven experience in finance management, including business case development, financial analysis, and strategic planning.
  • Excellent ability to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and drive financial insights that support business objectives.
  • Skilled in balancing detail-oriented analysis with big-picture thinking, switching focus as needed.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, enhancing team outputs with strategic financial guidance.
