General Manager - Finance

Why This Role? 🐾

This is more than a Finance Manager role—it's an opportunity to shape the future of a fast-growing veterinary business that genuinely makes a difference.

Join a company where purpose meets performance—we're improving the lives of animals while building a high-growth, modern healthcare organisation. You'll experience the pace and influence of a startup, backed by the stability, investment, and ambition of a corporate group.

Here, finance isn't a back-office function—it's a strategic partner at the table. You'll have direct exposure to senior leadership, a real voice in decision-making, and the autonomy to build, improve, and lead.

If you're motivated by:

• Impact – seeing your insights directly influence growth and outcomes
• Ownership – leading and shaping a function, not just maintaining it
• Growth – being part of a scaling business with real career trajectory
• Purpose – working in a sector that genuinely cares

…then this role is built for you.
