Mitre 10 Napier & Hastings is seeking a Head of Finance to join their Senior Management Team based in their Hastings Head Office. As a key leader, you will oversee all finance and accounting functions, working closely with executive teams to drive business performance and ensure robust financial health. This role provides an exceptional platform for you to influence strategic decisions, foster a supportive team environment, and contribute directly to the company’s ongoing success.

An opportunity not to miss!

• Play a pivotal role as part of the Senior Management Team across two Mitre10 stores in Hastings and Napier.
• Enjoy a collaborative environment, where your ability to lead a team, nurture talent and share knowledge will be highly valued by both your team and senior stakeholders.
• Benefit from a commitment to professional development within a well-established and respected company.
• Head office is in Hastings, open to someone looking to relocate to the area if you have the desired skills and experience (within NZ).

What You'll Do

As Head of Finance, you will play an integral role in shaping the organisation’s financial direction. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve collaborating with senior leaders on strategic planning, providing insightful analysis that drives business performance, and ensuring all statutory obligations are met.

You will guide your team through complex budgeting cycles, streamline cash flow operations, and champion cost-saving initiatives that enhance overall efficiency. By nurturing talent within your department and maintaining open communication with stakeholders across the business, you will help create a dependable financial foundation for continued growth.

Your expertise in accounting systems will be essential as you oversee payroll processing, tax preparation, and compliance activities. Success in this position means not only delivering accurate reports but also empowering others through mentorship while upholding Mitre 10’s values of teamwork, integrity, and shared achievement.

What You Bring

To excel in this role, your background should reflect significant experience leading finance teams within complex environments where collaboration is key. You are adept at navigating regulatory frameworks, producing detailed reports for senior audiences, and implementing process improvements that benefit both people and profit margins.

Your ability to communicate clearly ensures that insights are shared effectively across departments. Familiarity with SAP or similar platforms would be beneficial but is not mandatory- your openness to learning new tools will serve you well. Above all, your approachability, reliability, and dedication to ethical practice set you apart as someone who can be trusted with Mitre 10’s financial stewardship.
