Job description

Build the FP&A function that helps shape our next chapter.

Head Office / Crows Nest Location

The Real Pet Food Company is a market leader in fresh, natural pet nutrition, creating better food for healthier, happier pets. With a portfolio of trusted brands including Ivory Coat, Billy + Margot, Nature’s Gift and Fussy Cat, we’re challenging the status quo and changing the way pets are fed. Our success comes from combining high-quality ingredients, innovation and genuine passion for pets with the scale and capability to lead the category. We’re growing, ambitious and proudly REAL — and we’re looking for people who want to make their mark.

We’re looking for a Group FP&A Manager who wants to build the future of FP&A — not just run the cycle.

You’ll lead the evolution of our Group FP&A capability: simplifying and standardising how we plan and report, strengthening forecasting and scenario modelling, automating repeatable work, and creating a more consistent, driver-based approach to performance management.

Over the next 12–18 months, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible and lasting impact — lifting FP&A maturity, improving the quality and speed of insight, and building the processes, tools and capability that enable better decisions across the business.

A key part of the role will be helping us rethink how FP&A works. You’ll explore how trusted data, digital tools, automation and AI can improve forecasting, analysis and reporting — reducing manual effort and creating more capacity for forward-looking insight, commercial challenge and decision support.

What will you do?

As our Group FP&A Manager, you’ll own the Group’s planning, budgeting, forecasting and performance management cadence, turning financial outcomes into clear insights, risks, opportunities and actions for our Executive team.

Your key priorities will include:

• Building a consistent FP&A operating model
  Standardise planning, forecasting, reporting, metrics, allocation methodologies, data hierarchies and performance measures across the Group.
