Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, working closely with the Board and as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), the General Manager Finance provides sound, precise and relevant guidance and advice on the organisation’s corporate, commercial and financial governance.  Key responsibilities of this pivotal role include:

The ideal candidate will be dynamic, adaptable and innovative with developed interpersonal skills to support the development of strong relationships across the full spectrum of internal and external industry stakeholders.  Finance experience in a racing/sporting and/or a comparably regulated environment will be well regarded but is not essential.
