About the organisation

State Library Victoria is home to the State Collection - a place where each year millions are welcomed in to a 'great emporium of learning', just as the founders envisaged over 160 years ago when the Library opened its doors as 'the people's university'.

State Library Victoria is a library for all in a changing world.

Victoria's library of record, the State Library is home to the State Collection and enriches the cultural, educational social and economic lives of all Victorians.

They aspire to be globally recognised as a major destination for stimulating cultural experiences, a trusted place for contemporary debates and community-driven collecting, and a gateway to leading-edge digital experiences that invite new and creative ways to use the collection.

About the role

As a pivotal member of the executive team, the CFO will proactively contribute to the strategic direction, growth, and leadership of State Library Victoria, providing sound financial advice to the CEO, Finance Committee and Board.

With a customer centric approach, the CFO will lead and develop a large corporate services portfolio encompassing finance, administration, risk and governance, strategy and property to improve business efficiencies and effectiveness.

The role will manage financial planning and budgeting activities and enhance reporting and insights to inform decision making.

Building strong relationships with key stakeholders such as funders, suppliers, partner organisations and Creative Victoria, the appointee will be focused on maximising long-term sustainable revenue to drive the delivery of the library's ambitious agenda.

About you

CA/CPA qualified, you are a future focussed finance executive with a growth mindset, ideally with experience in the commercial sector and an appreciation for the public or for purpose sectors.

You have a track record of leading meaningful transformation across processes and systems to ensure sustainability and best practice and have engaged, empowered and lifted capability across teams.

Your ability to build trust, provide forthright and insightful advice, gain credibility with stakeholders and evolve financial maturity will be the ultimate key to your success in this defining role for the library and the broader community.
