AKD is proud of our diverse culture, that supports empowered individuals, embraces teamwork, and encourages a simple action orientated ‘can do’ attitude.

We are offering an exciting opportunity for an astute, self-motivated person to join our team in the position of Finance Manager responsible for our Oberon operations. Partnering closely with the Oberon Site Manager, the Site Leadership team and Group Financial Controller, and part of a small on-site finance team, the role will provide financial and commercial support to the Oberon operation using the existing information systems.

This position is based at our Oberon site. Flexible working arrangements may be considered for the right candidate.

The Finance Manager will be responsible for:

• Preparation and presentation of financial and management reports
• Budget & Forecast preparation
• Cashflow forecasting and management
• Capital expenditure evaluation and justification
• Leadership of the Site Finance Team
• Ad-hoc analytical assignments to support strategic and tactical decision making

In order to be considered for this role you will:

• Be suitably tertiary qualified and preferably CA/CPA qualified
• Relate well to, and engage with, a variety of stakeholders.
• Have experience in a processing or manufacturing environment (advantageous)
• Be able to communicate effectively across the entire organisation
