The Port of Hastings in Victoria is a strategically important and state significant asset boasting distinctive competitive advantages that position it for future economic expansion and development. The Port offers significant benefits such as expansive zoned land proximity to existing port facilities, naturally deep waters and closeness to offshore wind projects off the Gippsland coast, with a proposed project for the largest offshore wind project in Australia currently under consideration. The proposed Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal development at the Port of Hastings is intended to be a pivotal contributor to Victoria’s infrastructure. If approved, this project represents an exciting period of investment and significant transformation for the Port, bringing about a substantial shift in its operations.
The Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) leads PoHC’s budgeting, forecasting and financial performance reporting, providing high-quality insights that support executive decision-making and long-term financial sustainability. Reporting to the Head of Finance, the role acts as a trusted adviser who can translate complex financial information into clear, influential recommendations and tell the story behind the organisation’s financial position with clarity and purpose. This role requires someone who brings initiative, fresh thinking and strong analytical capability, with the ability to enhance financial understanding across the organisation. A key focus will be improving reporting and ERP utilisation, strengthening data structures and supporting data migration, and developing robust three-way models and scenario analyses that demonstrate sound methodology. The Manager, FP&A will deliver timely, insightful monthly reports and board papers, contribute to business cases and ministerial submissions, and support compliance with Victorian Government financial frameworks while driving continuous improvement in financial systems and processes.
The ideal candidate will have senior FP&A experience in complex environments, preferably with exposure to government and, ideally, major infrastructure or construction programs. You will bring proven experience in structuring and applying financial models, enhancing reporting, and driving performance outcomes. You will also demonstrate strong leadership and influencing skills, along with the ability to present information effectively to executives, boards, and operational stakeholders. A solid understanding of government financial reporting, statutory requirements, budgeting, forecasting, treasury and cash-flow management is essential, supported by advanced capability with financial systems, ERP platforms, analytics tools and technical data work. The successful candidate will hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting or a related field, along with CPA or CA accreditation. Postgraduate qualifications such as an MBA, Finance, Economics or Public Sector Management will be highly regarded.
