About you

You will be an experienced finance leader who combines strong technical and commercial capability with sound judgement, integrity and the confidence to influence at senior levels.

You can move comfortably between strategy and detail. You understand the numbers, but more importantly, you can explain what they mean, why they matter and what the organisation should do next.

You will bring:

• Substantial senior financial-management experience in a complex, labour-intensive, multi-million-dollar organisation.

• Experience providing strategic financial advice to Chief Executives, executive teams, Boards or Board committees.

• Advanced budgeting, forecasting, scenario-modelling, cash-flow and commercial-analysis capability.

• Strong knowledge of financial governance, internal controls, audit, risk management and New Zealand accounting requirements.

• Experience leading and developing finance professionals.

• The ability to build financial capability and confidence among non-finance leaders.

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate complex financial information clearly.

• Confidence to question assumptions and provide constructive, independent challenge.

• High-level capability with financial systems, Excel and reporting or business-intelligence tools.

• The ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and deliver a significant portfolio within a part-time role.

You will hold a relevant tertiary qualification in accounting, finance or commerce and current membership of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) or an equivalent recognised professional accounting body.

A full, current New Zealand driver licence and willingness to travel when required are also essential.

It would be an advantage if you have

Experience in the disability, health, social-services, charitable or NGO sectors would be valuable, as would experience with government-funded contracts, service costing, tendering, funding negotiations, payroll or finance-system transformation.

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to apply high-level financial expertise in an organisation with a strong social purpose.

You'll have direct access to the Chief Executive and governance, genuine scope to influence organisational decisions, and the opportunity to strengthen the systems, capability and financial strategy that will support CCT into the future.

And because the position is 20 hours per week, it offers something relatively unusual at this level: a substantial organisational leadership role combined with genuine flexibility.

If you're an experienced finance leader who values purpose, professional independence and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution, we'd like to hear from you.
