Ready to partner with leaders and help shape the future of finance at Teachers Health?

Join Teachers Health as a Finance Business Partner, where you'll work closely with senior leaders to provide strategic financial insight, support major transformation initiatives, and influence key business decisions across the organisation.

This is more than a traditional business partnering role. You'll have the opportunity to help shape a newly created position, contribute to enterprise-wide change programs, and build strong relationships with stakeholders across a diverse range of business areas.

About the Role

As our Finance Business Partner, you'll partner with leaders across the business to deliver valuable financial insights, budgeting and forecasting support, and commercial guidance that enables informed decision-making.

Supporting our FP&A Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering strategic initiatives, including enterprise transformation programs and Finance system enhancements. You'll work across functions including Technology, Digital and Enterprise Projects plus other areas, helping leaders understand financial performance, identify opportunities, manage risks and deliver outcomes aligned to our business plan.

This role will suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced and evolving environment. There is no typical day. One moment you may be presenting insights to senior leaders, the next building financial models, supporting project governance, or analysing performance trends to drive better business outcomes.

If you enjoy variety, stakeholder engagement, solving complex business problems and working in an environment where you can genuinely influence outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

Who are we?

Teachers Health was created over 70 years ago exclusively for the education community. We care for more than 500,000 teachers, education staff and their families. We're proud of our heritage and excited about the future as we continue to grow our impact.

• A competitive remuneration package

• Professional development and career growth opportunities
• The opportunity to work directly with senior leaders and executives
• The chance to play a key role in finance transformation and business improvement initiatives
• A collaborative, supportive and values-driven culture
• Convenient and accessible Surry Hills location

At Teachers Health, you'll join a purpose-led organisation where people genuinely care, collaborate and support each other to do their best work.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with business leaders to provide trusted financial advice, commercial insights and support strategic decision-making
• Lead budgeting, forecasting and management reporting activities, providing visibility of financial performance, trends, risks and opportunities
• Develop financial models, scenario analysis and business cases to support investment decisions, strategic initiatives and business planning

• Work closely with project and program managers to manage project financials, funding, forecasts and benefits realisation
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, capability uplift and cost efficiencies across the organisation
• Build strong partnerships across Finance and the broader business to influence positive outcomes and deliver organisational objectives
