  • Exposure to M&A, large‑scale projects or divestments will be critical.
  • Financial Services exposure and excellent systems skills
  • Strong financial acumen with advanced analytical and reporting capability

  • What's on offer

  • Initial 9 month contract

  • Fantastic flexible employer
  • Hourly rate will be c.$100 GST with room for the right experience
