About the role
Commercial FP&A Manager, ANZ | Growing Biotech
This is a fast-growing biotech business in the middle of a global expansion. They need a finance partner who sits inside the commercial engine, not behind it. You’ll work directly with the ANZ leadership and sales teams, own the full FP&A cycle, and use it to shape how the business grows, prices and invests.
A big part of the role is working hand in hand with sales. You’ll get to know the seasonal patterns that drive demand, understand what’s behind the peaks and troughs, and turn that into forecasts the business can plan around. As the company scales into new markets, getting this right matters more every quarter.
This is a lean, growing business, so your work is visible and your input counts. Leadership will come to you when they need to understand the numbers and decide what to do next. That takes clear insight, practical forecasting and the confidence to push back when something doesn’t stack up.
