With a strong leadership team, sophisticated stakeholder landscape, and ambitious strategic agenda, the organisation now requires an experienced CFO to provide immediate financial leadership while driving a significant capital and funding strategy over the next 12 months.<br /><br />This role will suit a hands-on, pragmatic and execution-focused finance leader who has successfully navigated businesses through periods of change, capital pressure, scale-up or turnaround environments.<br />A major focus of the role will be leading and supporting capital raising initiatives, strengthening financial visibility and partnering closely with the CEO, Board and external stakeholders to position the organisation for long-term sustainability and growth.<br /><br /><strong><br />The Opportunity</strong><br /><br />Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Board and executive leadership team, the Interim CFO will provide both strategic and operational financial

enhanced forecasting discipline, improved commercial insight and leadership across funding strategy and capital management.<br /><br />A newly appointed Financial Controller has joined the business, and a key component of the role will involve mentoring and capability uplift, creating a structured transition model over time while ensuring strong financial governance and decision-making frameworks

financial planning and analytical capability across the organisation</li><li>Ensure existing systems and tools are fully leveraged to support operational and strategic decision-making</li><li>Maintain strong governance, controls and risk management frameworks</li></ul><p><strong>Stakeholder Engagement</strong></p><ul><li>Act as the key financial interface with Board members, advisors, auditors, funding stakeholders and strategic partners</li><li>Support negotiation and structuring of complex commercial and funding agreements</li><li>Build confidence and alignment across internal and external stakeholder groups</li><li>Provide clear, concise and commercially grounded financial communication</li></ul><p><br /><strong><br />About You<br /></strong><br />We are seeking an experienced CFO with a proven track record operating within complex, project-based, contract-driven or stakeholder-heavy environments and comfortable working in a small team environment.<br /><br />You may come from industries such as advanced manufacturing, contract manufacturing, government-funded entities, engineering services or other environments where strong commercial discipline, funding strategy and cash flow management are critical to success.<br /><br /><strong>This role will particularly suit candidates who have operated in businesses with:</strong></p><ul><li>Project or milestone-based revenue models</li><li>Complex customer or government contracts</li><li>Fluctuating or constrained cash flow environments</li><li>Capital raising or funding dependency</li><li>Highly regulated operating
