Job Description
Add expected salary to your profile for insights
Southern Launch is scaling. Fast. Operating at the forefront of Australia’s sovereign space capability, Southern Launch delivers world-class launch and range services from South Australia. With significant growth ahead, expanding commercial opportunities, and increasing investor and board engagement, the business is entering its next chapter.
We are seeking a commercially sharp, hands‑on and strategic Chief Financial Officer to help lead that journey.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Board, you will:
Lead financial strategy during a significant scale-up phase
Drive investor relations and capital reporting
Prepare high‑quality board management reports and insights
Strengthen financial models, forecasting and scenario planning
Improve systems, controls and processes to support growth
Build and develop a small but high‑performing finance team
Provide commercial input across operations, funding, partnerships and expansion
This is not a “sit back” CFO role.
You will need to move seamlessly between:
Refining financial models yourself
Tightening processes and improving reporting discipline
Supporting funding conversations and investor engagement
Operating as a strategic advisor at board level and working with investors
About You
You are likely:
A qualified CA/CPA
Experienced in investor reporting and board engagement
Commercially astute with strong modelling capability
Comfortable operating in a scaling, evolving environment
Able to build structure without slowing momentum
A leader who develops capability in others
Experience in high‑growth, capital‑intensive, technology, infrastructure or project‑based environments will be highly regarded.
You bring both:
Detail orientation
Strategic thinking
And you’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves when required.
Why This Role?
Work at the forefront of a globally significant industry
Shape the financial architecture of a scaling organisation
Partner directly with the CEO and Board
Influence funding strategy and long‑term growth
Build and lead a team as the business expands
