Senior Finance Manager
Job Summary
IMCs APAC finance function is growing materially. The HK entity cluster is expanding more legal entities more audits more intercompany complexity and that workload is landing on a Sydney-based team that is already running hard. This role exists to build genuine capacity: a second Finance Manager in Sydney who takes clear ownership of the HK and regional entity portfolio works shoulder-to-shoulder with the existing Australia Finance Manager and gives the team room to scale without breaking.
This is not a support role. You will own a defined portfolio end-to-end the month-end close the regulatory calendar the audit process the intercompany structure and manage one direct report from day one. The HK entities are distinct and growing which means the scope of this role will expand as the business does.
IMC approaches finance operations with the same technology-first mindset that drives our trading business. As Finance Manager you will work in an environment where manual effort is actively being reduced and where you are expected to contribute to that agenda not just benefit from it. If you are intellectually curious about where AI is taking the finance function and want to help shape that in a real operational context this is the right team.
