• Build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders across the business, partnering with project teams to promote sound financial management practices.
• Contribute to a safe, inclusive, and high-performing culture while supporting projects that enhance workforce capability and organisational growth.

• Relevant tertiary or vocational qualifications in Finance, Project Management, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong financial analysis, reporting, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with a broad range of audiences.
• Proficiency in project management and finance systems, including Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, Jira, and other reporting tools.
• Experience working in a project-based environment, ideally within Defence or a similarly complex industry, will be highly regarded.

This role is well suited to professionals with experience in finance administration, accounts payable, procurement, project financial support, or broader finance coordination roles who are looking to apply their skills in a project-focused environment.
