Chief Financial Officer - Hireup

  • Delivering disability and aged care support as it should be
  • A hybrid organisation with 2 office based days including Thursday
  • Enjoy generous, practical benefits to support your wellbeing and development
 
Six Degrees is proud to partner with Hireup – one of Australia’s most impactful, tech-enabled disability support platforms – to appoint a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This is a rare opportunity to join a purpose-led business driving transformation in the disability and aged care sectors through innovation, integrity and scale, as well as providing a true partnership to the CEO bringing ideas for expansion and pushing organisational frontiers.
 
The Hireup story. It started with a family and their challenge to find disability support that worked for them. They needed more and knew that people with disability could have more independence, choice and control in their lives. As Hireup grew, it became clear that older Australians also faced many of the same challenges in accessing the right support. Today, Hireup is proud to deliver personalised, high-quality support for our community, enabling them to live with dignity, independence, and control.

Support as it should be. Hireup have supported thousands of clients and support workers across Australia. Now, they’re on a mission to ensure that people living with disability and elderly Australians can access the right support for the moments that matter for them. They do this through combining digital tools with the reliability of someone to help when it matters most.

The ask? Their mission sets a new standard for support, working in a world of transformation whilst delivering reliable services every day. Authenticity, curiosity and tenacity is a must. Resilience is key. They live the ‘power of yes’ and push for the best (they might not always get it right!) but they will work together to tackle opportunities, hold each other up and be there in the moments that matter to you and our community.

What you’ll do – Chief Financial Officer
This is a key leadership role, reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Board and Executive Team to shape and deliver on Hireup’s long-term vision. The CFO will oversee Finance, Legal, Risk and Corporate Services, and serve as Company Secretary.
You’ll play a central role in financial strategy, planning, risk and governance – while also contributing commercially to strategic transformation, M&A activity, and business model innovation.
Your leadership will enable Hireup to continue to grow sustainably, scale its impact nationally, and deliver best-in-class services to clients, families and communities.

Key priorities include:
  • Leading financial strategy, planning and reporting across the group
  • Managing corporate governance, board reporting, legal and company secretariat functions
  • Partnering on commercial growth initiatives, M&A, and strategic investments
  • Leading the finance team to deliver operational excellence across FP&A, accounting, payroll and treasury
  • Driving risk and compliance frameworks aligned with sector, legislative and governance obligations
Empowering high performance through strong culture, clear metrics, and inclusive leadership

What We’re Looking For
You’re a strategic, commercially-minded and values-driven CFO with experience leading finance and corporate services in a complex organisation – ideally within health, aged care, community services, or the disability sector.
You combine strong technical capability with a collaborative, empowering leadership style, and thrive in a purpose-driven, fast-evolving environment.
 
You bring:
  • CFO level experience
  • CA/CPA qualifications and 10+ years’ senior finance leadership
  • Experience across financial strategy, M&A, governance and compliance
  • Executive-level influence with CEO, ELT and Board stakeholders
  • Exposure to scaling, operational transformation and impact-driven business models
  • A passion for purpose, equity, and community impact
  • Experience as Company Secretary and knowledge of NDIS funding frameworks will be highly regarded.
 
Why should you join?
You’ll have the opportunity to join the Hireup story and develop the next chapter of your own. You’ll become a critical part of a purpose-driven team working closely with the CEO and Board, delivering their mission for people with a disability. Wherever you fit best within their organisation, their mission will ignite you, and their authentic, united and diverse workplace will help you flourish.

You will get:
  • Opportunities to develop - they are always learning! 
  • They’re a hybrid organisation, working together in their offices 2 days a week
  • including Thursdays
  • Generous leave options including 12 weeks paid parental leave and 7 additional
  • days to help you pursue your ‘good life’ and learning goals
  • Allowances to support you in your work set up and professional development
  • Wellbeing programs, health and fitness discounts to help you stay happy and
  • healthy at work
