Chief Financial Officer

PARTNER Executive is proud to be supporting an ASX listed gold development company on the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer.

The company

Our client holds a flagship, large scale asset in one of the world's premier gold producing regions. With a landmark strategic funding agreement recently secured and a strong balance sheet behind it, the business is transitioning from development through project execution and, ultimately, into operations. This is the stage where the finance function stops being a reporting exercise and starts shaping how the project gets built.

The role

Reporting to the Managing Director, the CFO is a genuine strategic partner to the MD and Board, providing commercial and financial leadership across funding strategy, capital management, project development and operational readiness.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the company's funding strategy, engaging directly with banks, investors and financial institutions as the business progresses through development and into construction

• Partnering with the Managing Director and Board on strategic decision making at a pivotal stage of growth

• Providing commercial insight across budgeting, forecasting, capital allocation and project economics, working closely with corporate and technical teams

• Building the finance and IT capability required for scale, and strengthening reporting, governance and risk frameworks as the business grows

• Supporting or leading lender and investor engagement through debt funding processes

About you

You are a commercially credible finance leader who has been through this transition before, not observed it from the outside. Specifically, you bring:

• Experience taking a resources project from early investment through construction and into production, or a close equivalent, as this is the capability that matters most

• Hands on industry experience in a mining, energy or resources business rather than solely advisory, audit or banking, though a strong technical grounding from those environments is valued alongside it

• Demonstrated involvement in debt funding processes, with the ability to support or lead lender and investor engagement

• Strong technical accounting, ASX reporting and governance grounding

• The presence to hold a seat at the table with a Board and to be relied on by the MD

• Gold or copper experience is an advantage, though we welcome candidates from across the commodities, including those based outside Western Australia
