By using our platform, our customers can confidently manage their commercial relationships, improve productivity and reduce financial risk.

As a commercial credit reporting bureau, we offer a complete suite of credit reporting products and data insights covering the entire customer lifecycle, from customer onboarding and credit decision automation to credit risk management and automated collections.

We were established in 2010 and most recently were named as one of AFR's Top 10 Best Places to Work as well as certified by Great Place to Work consecutively across 2022 and 2023.

We saw significant growth in 2024 and that's not about to change. We are on track to break records in 2025, scaling at pace, making this the perfect time to join CreditorWatch.

✅ Empower Australian businesses to trade confidently with their customers.

We aim to be number one in our industry by delivering unique data insights and innovative products.

Commercial Finance is a newly-created and growing team at CreditorWatch. Together with the FP&A team, Commercial Finance will partner with the ELT in the creation and execution of CreditorWatch’s strategy to ensure the organisation optimises the creation of shareholder value.

This is a high-profile role within that team, partnering directly with the Chief Technology Officer, General Manager of Product and the Head of Data to drive strategic planning and analytical rigor across our technology organisation.

Across the three business units, your core objectives will include:

• Product: Driving ROI on investment prioritisation and the product roadmap
• Data: Supporting the development of our data strategy and driving the financial value of our data asset.
• Engineering: Overseeing the financial integrity of data flows between systems and defining requirements for financial reporting and analytics

You’ll be the strategic finance partner to our technology leadership while also rolling up your sleeves to build foundational processes. This is an opportunity for a ‘hands-on’ individual with long-term vision to make their mark in a fast-growing organisation.

This role reports directly to the General Manager, FP&A and is a full-time opportunity offering hybrid working conditions out of our Sydney CBD Office.

Some of your responsibilities include and are not limited to:

• Be a sounding board and trusted advisor to senior leadership in the product, engineering and data business units.
• Champion data-driven decision making across the organisation while embedding SaaS performance metrics into how the business operates.
• Coordinate different technology teams to ensure appropriate data flow across our entire tech ecosystem, including CRM, ERP, billing platforms and our CW Core system.
• Analysing investment efficiency on innovation and R&D
• Support leadership in regular business reviews with the Board of Directors.
• Oversee comprehensive SaaS metric reporting and supporting architecture.
• Support the broader FP&A team in the multi-year execution of CreditorWatch’s Strategic Plan and the Annual Operating Plan process.
• Assist with corporate development / M&A activities as required.

You'll be a commercially savvy finance leader with deep experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A, and strategic planning - paired with hands-on know-how in SaaS subscription billing systems (ideally within MS Dynamics). You'll understand the tech architecture and data flows that power scaling SaaS businesses, and can translate that knowledge into insights that drive real business impact.

Ideally you'll be skilled in financial modelling, advanced Excel, and subscription-based revenue analysis, bringing the “so what” to complex data and deliver it with clarity and confidence.

You'll have the presence to influence senior leaders and the adaptability to thrive in a fast-moving, less-structured environment, you'll be a self-starter who’s happy to roll up your selves as you are shaping strategy.
