About The Company

Founded in 1999 by Farrah and Jovan, Farrah's has grown to become New Zealand's leading manufacturer of wraps and tortillas. Our products are proudly crafted in our world‑class ‘Bread Quarters’ in Upper Hutt, using the finest ingredients and state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing technology.

As our successful business continues to expand, we are building a dynamic, collaborative workforce dedicated to delivering quality and affordability in healthy, nutritious meal options for everyday New Zealanders. We are one family, working hard together to deliver on that promise.

About The Role

The CFO is a key leadership role, reporting to the General Manager and working closely with a financially savvy board. As a trusted partner to the business, you will lead Farrah’s financial, IT, procurement, and facilities functions, ensuring the right frameworks, systems, and strategies are in place to drive sustainable growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Leading all aspects of finance including budgeting, forecasting, statutory reporting, treasury, and risk management.
  • Overseeing procurement strategy and execution, ensuring cost efficiency, quality, and resilience across the supply chain.
  • Providing executive oversight of IT systems and digital strategy, ensuring scalable, future‑ready platforms to support business growth.
  • Managing facilities and office operations to maintain a safe, efficient, and productive workplace environment aligned with our world‑class manufacturing standards.
  • Driving financial and commercial insight to support strategic planning, investment decisions, and operational performance.
  • Leading, developing, and empowering a small but high‑performing team across finance, IT, procurement, office and facilities.
  • Partnering with stakeholders across the business to ensure finance is a proactive enabler of innovation, efficiency, and value creation.

About You

We are looking for a commercially focused and influential finance leader who thrives in a growth‑oriented manufacturing and FMCG environment. You will bring :

Key Requirements

  • A recognised accounting qualification (CPA / CA or equivalent) with proven experience in senior finance leadership.
  • A strong track record of commercial insight and the ability to influence decision‑making at the highest level.
  • Experience leading procurement, manufacturing operations and supply chain finance functions, with a focus on driving value and efficiency.
  • Oversight of IT and systems transformation, ideally with experience implementing scalable ERP or digital solutions.
  • Exposure to facilities or property management ensuring safe, efficient, and well‑run workplaces is an advantage but not essential.
  • A balance of strategic capability and operational pragmatism, hands‑on when required, but able to operate at board level.
  • A collaborative, team‑oriented approach with strong leadership skills.
  • Values in Practice

  • Fire in the Belly – Passion and energy in everything you do.
  • Make it Happen – Initiative, resilience, and solutions focus.
  • Get Results – A consistent drive for quality outcomes.
  • Never Compromise – Commitment to the highest standards.
  • One Family, One Team – A genuine collaborator who supports and grows others.
  • Why Farrah’s?

    We like to call ourselves the Hidden Gem of the Hutt Valley. Our brand‑new facility features world‑class equipment, a spotless environment, and a modern, fully equipped lunchroom with stunning views across the valley.

    At Farrah’s You’ll Enjoy

  • Learning and development opportunities through our Thrive portal and in‑house programs.
  • Daily access to our wraps, weekly fruit drops, and the legendary ‘Thirsty Thursdays’.
  • A comprehensive EAP program supporting health and wellbeing.
  • Free onsite parking.
  • A national discounts scheme.
  • Weekly free wraps to take home.
  • Birthday celebrations, long‑service bonuses, and a recognition culture that celebrates wins – from our ‘Taco Bout Awesome’ program to our Annual Values Awards.
  • Farrah’s is a place where you can make a tangible impact, grow as a leader, and be part of a supportive, driven team that works hard, celebrates often, and always has fun.
