Commercial Manager

Strategic Finance | Commercial Leadership | Enterprise Performance

Location: Brisbane, Queensland

Salary: $200,000 - $220,000 + Superannuation

Employment Type: Full-time

Lead commercial strategy. Influence significant decisions. Create lasting impact.

Are you a commercially minded leader who knows how to turn complex financial information into strategic business decisions?

This is an opportunity to step into a senior commercial leadership position within a well-established, purpose-driven organisation with a diverse portfolio of business operations, property interests and community-focused enterprises.

Working closely with executive leadership, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening commercial capability, influencing strategic investment decisions and identifying opportunities that deliver long‑term financial sustainability and organisational value.

This is more than a traditional commercial or finance position. It is an opportunity to shape how an organisation thinks commercially, approaches investment and makes decisions about its future.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Executive Director - Finance, Property & Enterprises, the Commercial Manager will provide strategic and operational commercial leadership across a broad and varied portfolio.

You will act as a trusted adviser to senior executives and business leaders, bringing commercial insight, financial discipline and a considered approach to evaluating opportunities, managing risk and driving sustainable performance.

The position combines strategic commercial advisory, financial modelling, investment assessment, enterprise performance and procurement leadership.

You will also work closely with several established business operations spanning early learning, education and conference facilities, helping identify opportunities for growth, improve performance and strengthen financial sustainability.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Commercial Advice: Partner with executive leadership and senior stakeholders to assess significant business initiatives, investments, commercial opportunities and strategic decisions.
• Financial Modelling & Investment: Lead financial modelling, business cases, investment appraisals, scenario analysis and financial risk assessments to support informed decision-making.
• Commercial Performance: Provide commercial oversight and strategic guidance across a diverse enterprise portfolio, identifying opportunities to improve performance, generate sustainable income and drive growth.
• Executive Influence: Translate complex financial and operational information into clear commercial insights, recommendations and actionable strategies for senior decision-makers.
• Commercial Frameworks: Develop and embed contemporary commercial practices, frameworks and decision-making disciplines across the organisation.
• Procurement Leadership: Provide strategic leadership of the procurement function, including team management, procurement frameworks, policies, governance and continuous improvement.
• Business Development: Identify and assess new commercial opportunities, partnerships and initiatives that support long‑term organisational sustainability.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong relationships across executive leadership, operational teams and business units, providing constructive commercial challenge and influencing outcomes.

About You

You are a commercially astute and strategic thinker who enjoys working at the intersection of finance, business strategy and organisational performance.

You will bring the confidence to challenge conventional thinking, influence senior stakeholders and provide practical commercial advice that translates into meaningful business outcomes.

Ideally, you will demonstrate:

• Tertiary qualifications in Finance, Commerce, Business, Economics or a related discipline.
• CPA, CA or CFA qualifications, or currently working towards accreditation, will be highly regarded.
• Significant experience in a senior commercial, finance, corporate strategy or business advisory capacity.
• Strong financial modelling, investment analysis and business case development capabilities.
• Demonstrated experience assessing commercial transactions, business opportunities and enterprise performance.
• Experience leading or overseeing procurement functions and developing effective commercial governance frameworks.
• Exceptional stakeholder engagement, negotiation and influencing skills.
• The ability to communicate complex financial and commercial matters to executive leadership and governance groups.
• Advanced Excel skills, with exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Power BI highly regarded.
• A high degree of autonomy, accountability and sound commercial judgement.

A current driver's licence and a valid Blue Card (or eligibility to obtain one) are also required.

In addition to a competitive remuneration package, you will have access to:
