Job Description

The finance team at NCS Australia is on an exciting transformation journey, aligning teams, operations, and systems from legacy companies into One Team. We are seeking an Operations Controller for a 12-month fixed-term contract to support the upskilling and growth of our accounting function in Australia. This role is crucial in building operational excellence through a period of change following a system migration and the migration of corporate banking. Key responsibilities include aligning accounting operations across entities, standardising and simplifying record-to-report processes, transitioning banking arrangements from incumbent banks to a single banking provider, and managing clients and vendors through this change.

Additionally, the role involves creating future treasury and liquidity management processes, supporting the Finance Leadership team during the financial audit of FY25, and assisting with legal entity reduction projects as required. While the role has no direct reports, it requires close collaboration with accounting, statutory and tax, and business operations teams. There is potential for conversion to a permanent, full-time role, subject to future organisational development.

Qualifications

• Strong process focus and orderly project management skills.
• High degree of emotional intelligence.
• Experience in building operational excellence through periods of change, particularly after system and corporate banking migrations.
• Ability to work closely with accounting, statutory and tax, and business operations teams.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Relevant qualifications in accounting, finance, or a related field.
