Financial Controller

At Viva Energy, we're looking for an experienced and commercially minded Financial Controller to join our Retail Finance team and play a pivotal role in one of Australia's largest and most dynamic energy and convenience retail businesses.

Reporting directly to the Head of Finance & FP&A, this is a highly visible leadership opportunity where you will partner with senior stakeholders across the business and influence key financial and strategic decisions. You will take ownership of critical finance functions including monthly management reporting, statutory reporting, treasury and banking activities, while leading and developing a high-performing finance team, including offshore resources.

This role offers far more than traditional financial control responsibilities. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to strategic planning, drive process improvement initiatives, support business transformation programs, and help shape the future direction of a rapidly evolving organisation. Working closely with senior leaders across Viva Energy Retail and the broader Viva Energy Group, you'll be exposed to complex commercial challenges and play a key role in delivering business growth and performance.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine technical excellence with leadership, commercial influence, and strategic impact, this is an exceptional opportunity to leave your mark on a large-scale business undergoing significant transformation.
