• Managing quarterly distributions and cash flow forecasting, and working with Treasury on debt, hedge and interest positions
• Developing and mentoring the finance team, and business partnering across operations, legal, marketing and corporate finance
• Leading year-end audit processes and liaising with external auditors, tax advisors and investors
• Driving continuous improvement across reporting, automation and finance processes

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Professionally qualified (CA/CPA) accountant
• 10+ years' post-qualification experience, ideally having started in a chartered firm
• Experience working in the property funds management sector is essential
• Strong experience in financial accounting, month-end close and finance ledger systems
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with reporting and dashboarding tools like Power BI or Tableau will be advantageous
• Strong team management and talent development experience
• A self-starter mindset, with excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to see the big picture

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN?

• Be part of a purpose-led organisation shaping how Australians live
• Exposure to a large, diversified living platform with real scale and complexity
• Strong focus on wellbeing, growth, and inclusive culture
• Competitive rewards, recognition programs, and lifestyle benefits
