Own the Financial Engine. Shape the Strategy.

A leading financial institution in PNG is seeking a hands-on, technically strong Manager – Financial Controller to lead Group financial control and drive financial clarity across the business.

  • Lead capital planning, ALCO processes, and balance sheet management, providing insight and strategic guidance
  • Oversee ERP rollouts and process enhancements, ensuring accuracy and efficiency
  • Analyse financial statements, explain key movements, and challenge assumptions across the business
  • Mentor a high-performing team and help develop PNG Nationals for future leadership
What You Bring:
  • Accounting degree + ACA/CPA (Big 4 or banking experience highly regarded)
  • 10–15 years in senior finance or financial control roles in banking or financial services
  • Proven ability to run a finance function end-to-end and challenge auditors or specialists
  • Hands-on with general ledger, reconciliations, and annual reporting
  • Strategic thinker who links operational activity to financial and regulatory outcomes
  • PNG Nationals preferred
  • Competitive Salary!
Why This Role is Different:

This is a rare opportunity to operate at the intersection of technical mastery and strategic leadership, shaping both the finance function and the broader business. If you thrive on clarity, logic, and hands-on financial challenge, this role is designed for you.
