About the Role

Reporting to our GM of Finance, the Head of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) will lead our team of Finance Business Partners (5), who play a critical role in supporting senior decision‑making by identifying key financial opportunities and risks. The FP&A team is responsible for future‑focused financial projections (including budgeting and forecasting), performance reporting and oversight of the monthly P&L, financial modelling to support strategic planning, project reporting and investment appraisal. This work spans both departmental and enterprise‑wide priorities. FP&A is a trusted and influential contributor to Sportsbet’s most important commercial decisions. A core focus of this role is to lead, develop and empower the FP&A team, supporting both business outcomes and individual growth, while continuing to evolve systems, processes and ways of working.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead end‑to‑end budgeting, forecasting and planning processes, delivering clear and actionable insights to Sportsbet, Flutter International and the Flutter ExCo
  • Build and embed a best‑in‑class FP&A capability that supports strategic decision‑making and performance tracking
  • Own corporate‑level performance reporting, highlighting trends, risks, opportunities and recommended actions
  • Develop and maintain robust financial models, including scenario, sensitivity and ROI analysis to inform investment decisions
  • Partner closely with senior leaders across strategy, data and finance to translate complex data into meaningful commercial insights
  • Drive the corporate planning process in collaboration with the Strategy team
  • Lead, coach and develop a high‑performing FP&A team, building future capability and succession
  • Enhance business intelligence, dashboards and self‑service reporting (e.g. Power BI), leveraging AI to move toward real‑time forecasting
  • Continuously improve processes, controls and governance to ensure accuracy, efficiency and relevance of financial insights 

Who We’re Looking For

  • A customer‑first, commercially minded leader who challenges assumptions and seeks better ways of working
  • 12+ years’ experience gained in Big 4, consulting, an ASX Top 100 organisation, or in a comparable senior FP&A role within industry
  • Demonstrated experience leading and developing high‑performing finance or FP&A teams in complex environments
  • Strong executive‑level capability, with experience producing and presenting clear, influential reports and insights
  • Deep expertise in financial modelling, forecasting and performance analysis
  • Highly developed analytical skills, with the ability to draw insights and influence decisions using evidence‑based recommendations
  • A trusted business partner, comfortable collaborating with senior leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders
  • A confident and thoughtful communicator who can translate complex information for diverse audiences
  • Organised, adaptable and resilient, able to prioritise effectively and perform under pressure
  • A positive change leader with a growth mindset and a passion for learning and developing others
  • Strong attention to detail, accountability and a collaborative, team‑first approach
  • Curious and open to experimenting with AI and new tools to improve efficiency and insight


You might be a great fit if you:

  • Bring strong financial acumen and enjoy working in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
  • Hold a CPA or CA qualification (mandatory)
  • Are comfortable consolidating complex, multi‑market financials
  • Communicate clearly and can simplify complexity for senior and executive stakeholders
  • Enjoy collaborating across borders and time zones
  • Adapt quickly and thrive in a dynamic, global organisation

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. If you don’t meet every requirement but believe you could succeed in this role, we’d love to hear from you.
