About the Company

Quinn Allan is proud to partner with ACSI (Australian Council of Superannuation Investors), a member-based organisation that provides a strong voice on financially material sustainability and corporate governance risks and opportunities.

Established in 2001, ACSI's members include Australian and international asset owners and institutional investors representing more than $1.9 trillion in funds under management. Through research, company engagement and public policy advocacy, ACSI supports members in exercising active ownership, which enhances the long‑term value of the retirement savings entrusted to them to manage, while driving meaningful improvements in corporate sustainability and governance practices of the companies in which they invest.

With a highly engaged, collaborative culture and a clear sense of purpose, ACSI offers the opportunity to contribute to an organisation making a genuine impact across Australia's investment and superannuation landscape.

About the Position

This newly available Finance Manager opportunity has arisen as part of a planned leadership transition within the organisation.
