  • Profit-with-a-purpose business that combines social and commercial impact

About Our Client

Baidam Solutions is a leading cybersecurity and managed services provider helping organisations navigate an increasingly complex technology landscape. While the strength of the business is demonstrated by repeat AFR Fast 100 and Deloitte Tech Fast 50 achievements, what makes Baidam stand out is the meaningful and impactful social and financial returns that help bridge the gap for Indigenous Peoples.

As the business continues to grow, they are seeking an experienced and commercially minded Director of Finance & Operations to join the Senior Leadership Team.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a rare opportunity to step into a highly influential leadership role that sits at the heart of the business. You'll drive financial performance, strengthen operational excellence, develop organisational capability, and help execute strategic growth initiatives.

Job Description

What You'll Be Responsible For

The Director of Finance & Operations role is not a traditional CFO or Financial Controller role focused solely on accounting and compliance. We are looking for a commercially focused leader who understands the connection between financial results, operational execution, customer outcomes, systems, and people capability - and knows how to bring them together to create sustainable business success.

Core areas of responsibility include:

Commercial Finance & Business Performance

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, and financial planning.
  • Drive profitability, pricing strategy, margin optimisation, and performance improvement.
  • Build financial models, business cases, and investment analyses to support growth.
  • Enhance reporting, dashboards, KPIs, and business intelligence capabilities to support commercial decision making



Operations Leadership

  • Provide leadership and oversight of the Operations function, ensuring operational decisions are underpinned by sound commercial judgement
  • Improve business processes, utilisation, resourcing, systems, and operational efficiency.
  • Support workforce planning, capacity management, and operational scalability.



Strategic Growth & Transformation

  • Support the execution of strategic initiatives and growth objectives.
  • Lead finance-related transformation projects and systems improvements.
  • Assess investment opportunities, business cases, and potential acquisitions.



Leadership & Culture

  • Lead, mentor, and develop high-performing finance and operations teams.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Build organisational capability through leadership development and succession planning.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and Leadership Team.

The Successful Applicant

The ideal candidate for the Finance & Operations Director position will be a commercially astute leader who enjoys partnering with the business to drive outcomes, not just report results. You combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach and have a proven track record of leading teams through growth and transformation.

You'll bring:

  • CA or CPA qualification.
  • 10+ years experience in senior finance, commercial, operations, or business leadership roles.
  • Strong expertise in financial planning, forecasting, pricing, profitability analysis, and business performance management.
  • Experience within MSP, cybersecurity, technology services, IT consulting, or similar service-based environments highly regarded.
  • Deep understanding of recurring revenue business models and service-based commercial metrics.
  • Proven success leading change, improving systems, and driving business performance.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • A collaborative leadership style and passion for developing people and teams.

What's on Offer

Why Join Baidam Solutions?

  • Join the Senior Leadership Team and influence company-wide strategy in a rapidly growing business.
  • Work directly alongside the CEO and executive leaders.
  • Enjoy a diverse role spanning finance, operations, people leadership, business improvement, and strategic growth.
  • Work within a high-trust environment that values autonomy, innovation, and accountability.
  • Attractive remuneration package and flexible working arrangements.
  • Opportunity to grow your own career as you support the growth of the business.



If you're a commercially minded finance and operations leader who thrives on improving business performance, developing people, and driving strategic growth, we'd love to hear from you.
