The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is the financial leader of the organisation – providing strategic financial advice and driving the utilisation of resources in a way that supports the goals of the organisation. The CFO will motivate team members at all levels to partner and collaborate in the achievement of financial sustainability. The CFO will bring a rigorous and innovative approach to the HNZ budget, operational and capital plans, and financial and non-financial performance monitoring – providing the CEO, Board, Ministers, and Government Agencies with confidence in the use of public funds.
The finance function is undergoing a significant period of change – resetting to align with HNZ's move to four integrated regions. This is a time of pivotal transformation, where the contributions of this role will play a vital part in advancing the commitment to a more accessible, cohesive, and people-centered health system.
The role and the organisation are highly complex, so candidates will need to be experienced in leading a finance workforce in a large-scale organisation with multiple and complex stakeholder interests. The incoming CFO will have managed significant budgets and will have experience in leading through transformational change.
This is a career defining opportunity to lead a critical function within one of New Zealand's largest organisations. Your work will be essential in enhancing the health and wellbeing of everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand, and we invite you to be part of this important mission.
