Commercial Finance Manager

Christchurch, New Zealand Profile Group Full time

The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing global business and play a key role in shaping its financial and commercial future. As the Commercial Finance Manager, you will oversee the finance functions and support the day-to-day operations of the business, providing you an 'under the hood' view of a business that is expanding globally.

There is an opportunity for you to enhance the financial systems, ensuring the business has what it needs to meet its growth demands. The role would be well suited to someone looking to expand outside of a pure finance role and get more exposure to the operational side of a business, working closely with the owners who can provide a huge amount of institutional knowledge and learning to you.

Given the global nature of its operations, you should expect to be working outside of normal business hours frequently, but the exposure and opportunity you will have to support shaping a truly global business is one rarely available in Christchurch.

The Company
This is a dynamic organization with a diverse portfolio of operations in the logistics sector. They have experienced significant growth over the past few years and are on an exciting trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down. The company values innovation, collaboration, and those with strong ambitions, and are looking for those who want to be part of an internationally growing New Zealand business.

The Role

  • Lead the company’s finance functions, reporting directly to the owners and Board.
  • Build and develop a high-performing finance team to ensure the business can deliver timely and accurate reporting and information.
  • Oversee company insurances, manage banking relationships, and work with external accounting partners both in New Zealand and overseas.
  • Prepare and present financial reports and analysis to the management team and be a part of the decision-making processes that support the company in meeting its commercial objectives.
  • Lead the implementation of financial systems and processes.
  • Support strategic business initiatives and partnerships, including M&A activity and the establishment of joint venture partnerships.
  • Provide financial insights and support for the day-to-day running of the business.
  • Be flexible and committed to working outside usual office hours as needed to meet the needs of a growing, international business.

Your Profile
  • 5+ years’ experience in a commercial management / commercial finance manager type role within an operational business (manufacturing, logistics, retail etc.).
  • Strong leadership skills with experience managing and developing a team, and the ability to provide support / stand in for Directors as required.
  • Excellent analytical and strategic thinking abilities, as well as strong negotiation and communication skills.
  • Ability to work collaboratively across different regions and departments.
  • A proactive and results-oriented mindset with a focus on continuous improvement.
  • Flexibility and commitment to working outside usual office hours as needed, due to the global nature of the organisation.
  • Professional qualifications such as CPA, CA, or CFA are preferred.
  • Hold full, unrestricted working rights for New Zealand and be based in or relocating to Christchurch.

Profile Group offices are closed from Monday 23rd December, re-opening on Monday 13th January 2025, at which point we will be reviewing and responding to applications.

During this time, phones will be diverted, so for more information about this role, please email me on and I will respond upon my return to the office.#J-18808-Ljbffr
