Lead a high-performing finance team. Help shape the future of a growing shared services function.
This is more than a traditional AP & AR leadership role.
We're looking for an experienced Finance Team Leader to lead our Manila-based Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable team, supporting a fast-growing Australian retail and distribution business. Working closely with senior finance leaders in Sydney, you'll play a key role in driving operational excellence, developing talent, improving processes, and helping build a world-class offshore finance function.
If you're passionate about people leadership, process improvement, and creating high-performing teams, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact while working with international stakeholders in a highly visible role.

Help build something bigger
Join the business at an exciting stage of growth where your ideas and expertise will help shape processes, improve efficiencies, and influence future success.
Develop your leadership career
Expand your management experience, mentor talented finance professionals, and gain exposure to a globally connected finance operation.
Enjoy meaningful stakeholder exposure
Work alongside senior leaders, customers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams, giving you visibility and impact beyond day-to-day processing.
What You'll Be Doing

You'll:
Lead, coach, and develop AP & AR team members

Ensure accurate and timely processing of invoices, payments, reconciliations, and collections
Act as the primary liaison between the Manila team and Sydney finance leadership
Support month-end reporting and finance close activities
Drive process improvements and operational efficiencies
Maintain strong controls, compliance, and governance standards

What Success Looks Like
In this role, you'll be known as a trusted leader who:
