The Person 
As the Divisional Controller you will be embedded in the business finance operations. This role is very much a ‘value add’ and visible finance role so your ability to foster and build relationships at both a corporate and a site level will be critical.

You will come from a medium sized 'industrial service' industry such as logistics, supply chain or industrial B2B where you will have strong experience working in a blue collar field. You will be CA/CPA qualified, technically capable with a natural commercial lens and at the point in your career where you are a seasoned controller looking for a move into a CFO role in the next 12-18 months. Due to operations across the Eastern seaboard this role requires travel 1-2 times a month interstate.
