Villawood is Australia’s leading residential land developer, with a proven track record in delivering innovative, family-focused master planned communities across Australia since 1989.

The award-winning developer is currently working on six projects that will deliver more than 5,000 homes over the coming decade.  As a result of this significant expansion and commitment within South Australia, the opportunity for an additional Project Finance Manager has emerged within the SA office. 

Villawood Properties is well known for its community focus in all its endeavours and has received more than 20 industry awards across community engagement, master-planning, design, landscaping, environment and lifetime achievement.  The Villawood SA project portfolio includes:

• a successful development partner for the 52-hectare Oakden Rise site – unlocking significant benefits from one of the last large-scale infill development opportunities in metropolitan Adelaide;
• William Lakes, a 1,700-home development at Gawler Belt, north of Adelaide and part of the Roseworthy Township Expansion;
• St Andrews, a 700-lot project at Andrews Farm;
• a premium built form development at Seacliff Village;
• Morphettville Redevelopment project in partnership with Host Plus and SAJC; and
• Aldinga, a 600-lot project being delivered in partnership with the SA Government.

Reporting to the Senior Finance Manager and working closely with the South Australian State Manager, this pivotal role provides hands-on project-based management and financial accounting, reporting and compliance services to support South Australian projects.  Key responsibilities include preparing accurate and timely management and financial reports and analysis critical to effective business decision making and compliance as well as managing project cash flow, preparing forecasts and budget reporting for development projects.

Applications are invited from appropriately qualified finance professionals with hands-on management and financial accounting experience ideally gained in a property development business or similar project-based environment.  CA/CPA status (or currently studying towards completion) is an essential minimum requirement.  The successful candidate must have strong analytical and problem-solving skills (including Advanced MS Excel proficiency), high attention to detail, well developed communication skills and a flexible, constructive and positive attitude.  The ability to work independently, be proactive and engage effectively as a business partner with key stakeholders across the business will be pivotal to success.  Experience with Estate Master software is highly desirable but not essential.

This is a rare opportunity to join a supporting and engaging project team and a dynamic and highly respected national land development entity as it continues its growth trajectory and focus on seriously raising the standards for sustainable communities in Australia.
