Senior Commercial Advisory

Leading Australian University | Strategic Finance & Commercial Advisory

An exciting opportunity has become available to join the Commercial Advisory function of a leading Australian university, working on complex, high profile initiatives that influence strategic decision making across the institution.

This team operates more like an internal consulting practice than a traditional finance team. You’ll work across emerging university priorities, helping senior leaders assess opportunities, challenge assumptions and make well informed commercial and strategic decisions.

This is not a traditional financial modelling or business partnering position. It will suit someone who enjoys solving ambiguous problems, working with senior stakeholders and turning complex information into clear, persuasive recommendations.

The Opportunity

You’ll work across a varied portfolio of university wide initiatives. Priorities can shift quickly, meaning you could move from assessing a new strategic initiative to facilitating workshops, developing a commercial case or advising senior leadership on whether an investment should proceed.

You’ll be responsible for:

* Breaking down complex and poorly defined commercial and strategic problems

* Providing commercial analysis and strategic decision support

* Challenging assumptions and testing the viability of proposed initiatives

* Developing simple to intermediate financial models to support decision making

* Turning quantitative and qualitative analysis into clear recommendations

* Preparing presentations, papers and advice for senior stakeholders

* Facilitating workshops and gathering requirements across diverse stakeholder groups

* Leading projects from initial problem definition through to recommendation and delivery

* Scoping and managing external consultants and specialist modelling resources

* Presenting and defending recommendations to senior stakeholders

The environment is highly consultative, with exposure to Finance Directors, senior executives, Senate level stakeholders and leaders across the broader university.

What We’re Looking For

Relevant experience could come from consulting, banking, government, finance, economics, analytics, engineering, sustainability, higher education or commercial strategy.

More importantly, you’ll bring:

* Strong commercial judgement and quantitative reasoning

* Experience structuring complex or ambiguous problems

* Confidence working with financial models, without needing to be a specialist modeller

* Strong written and verbal communication skills

* The ability to influence and constructively challenge senior stakeholders

* Excellent listening skills and the ability to adapt your thinking as new information emerges

* Strong stakeholder management skills within complex, consensus driven environments

* Confidence operating without established processes or predictable BAU cycles

* The ability to lead projects and coordinate internal and external resources

* Intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence and a collaborative, low ego approach

An accounting qualification is not required. The university is particularly interested in people who bring a distinctive capability or area of expertise that can add another dimension to the broader team.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to build a long term career within a complex and highly respected institution, while gaining exposure to strategic issues well beyond traditional finance.

You’ll join a multidisciplinary team where you can develop your commercial advisory and problem solving capability, work directly with senior decision makers and contribute to initiatives with university wide impact.

The role also offers genuine flexibility, with two days per week currently spent in the office and three days working remotely. The team supports sustainable working hours and flexibility around personal and family commitments.

If you enjoy ambiguity, challenging conventional thinking and using commercial insight to influence significant decisions, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact within one of Australia’s leading university environments.

Talent International, a leading Australian recruitment firm, have been engaged by our long standing client, a leading Australian entertainment organisation. We are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of three critical technology initiatives across Financial Crime, Risk, Compliance and Technology.

This role will suit a pragmatic, delivery focused Project Manager who is comfortable operating in a fast paced, highly regulated environment.

• Manage project governance, risks, dependencies, executive reporting, testing and implementation activities across multiple concurrent workstreams.
• Drive discovery and proof of concept activities, developing practical recommendations, delivery roadmaps and investment estimates where required.

Required Skills and Experiences:

• Comfortable working with ambiguity, changing priorities and emerging regulatory requirements while balancing delivery speed with appropriate governance.

Additional Details & Benefits:

• Opportunity to lead three high priority technology initiatives with significant organisational and regulatory visibility.
• Work across a diverse stakeholder group spanning Financial Crime, Risk & Compliance, Technology, Cyber Security and Operations.
• Exposure to complex technology change involving AML and transaction monitoring, regulatory systems, data, platforms and vendor led implementations.

Are you working across electrical projects as a Foreman, Supervisor, Site Manager, Project Coordinator or Junior Project Manager and ready to take the next step?

This opportunity is designed for someone with a strong electrical foundation who wants to build a long term career in project management.

You’ll join an established project delivery team, take ownership of smaller electrical and communications projects, and receive hands on mentoring, on the job development and support towards relevant project management training and certifications.

You don’t need to be the finished product. The focus is on finding someone with the right electrical knowledge, commercial foundations and ambition who can be developed into a capable Project Manager.

The Opportunity

You’ll initially manage smaller, ad hoc electrical and communications projects, typically valued in the hundreds of thousands, allowing you to build experience across the full project lifecycle.

Projects are delivered across a diverse range of industries, including:

* Defence
* Government

You’ll develop experience across project planning, quoting, financials, procurement, subcontractor management, client engagement and delivery.

Where additional project management courses, qualifications or certifications would support your development, the business is prepared to provide the time and support required to undertake them.

The longer term pathway is clear, develop into an independent Project Manager and progress into more senior PM opportunities, managing larger, higher value and increasingly complex projects.

For someone currently working closer to the tools or site delivery, this is an opportunity to turn your electrical experience into a long term project management career.

What We’re Looking For

You could currently be working as a:

* Junior Project Manager
* Project Coordinator
* Electrical Foreman
* Electrical Supervisor
* Site Manager

You’ll ideally bring:

* A strong electrical trade or technical background

* Experience across electrical and/or communications projects

* An understanding of project financials, particularly quoting, estimating and project costs

* Experience coordinating trades, subcontractors, suppliers or project activities

* Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

* An interest in developing your commercial and project management capability

* The ambition to progress into a more senior Project Manager position

What’s On Offer

* Competitive base salary + superannuation + car allowance

* Structured mentoring from experienced Project Managers

* Hands on project management experience

* Support towards relevant project management courses, qualifications and certifications

* Exposure across Defence, Government, financial services, not for profit and commercial projects
