About the Role

We’re recruiting a Senior Manager Commercial Finance – Retail to join our Domestic Commercial Finance leadership team at Saputo Dairy Australia.

• Partner closely with Revenue Management on BAU pricing, and own the translation of pricing and commercial initiatives into clear P&L and performance impacts
• Establish strong cadence and commercial storytelling with Retail leadership, providing insight into trends, risks, opportunities and future trajectories

About You

• Extensive experience (typically 10+ years) in commercial finance, business partnering or performance‑focused roles within FMCG or complex commercial environments
• CA / CPA qualified, with strong commercial acumen and financial judgement
