Full description

Deputy is a global SaaS workforce management company with hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and London, plus team members working remotely across the United States. Our platform serves over 1.5 million workers and 375,000 workplaces across 100+ countries. We are backed by top global investors and recently achieved Unicorn status.

At Deputy, we’re improving the world of work, one shift at a time, for 80% of the world’s workforce: hourly workers. These are the dedicated employees who keep our world running – from baristas to nurses, cleaners to delivery drivers, florists to factory workers. Despite their vital role in society, most workplace technology has focused on those workers who sit behind a desk, but at Deputy, we transform the frontline. When businesses use Deputy, their workplaces thrive – the business is more profitable, compliant, and productive, while the workers are more engaged and happier at work.

We're becoming an AI-native company, a commitment that means you'll be empowered (and expected) to use AI tools and thinking in your day-to-day work. You'll have the training, support, and freedom to use AI responsibly and creatively to spark ideas, solve problems faster, and unlock new ways of working.

If you’re passionate about creating solutions that put people first and helping businesses and their teams thrive, join us at Deputy and make an impact where it matters most!

We are seeking a highly motivated, data-driven, and results-oriented finance professional to partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to drive strategic outcomes and support teams in achieving their business objectives. This role combines strategic business partnership, financial modeling, and operational analysis to help shape how Finance supports a modern, high-growth SaaS organization.

As Finance modernises its tools and processes, this person will use automation and AI-enabled tools to improve forecasting accuracy, reporting efficiency, and decision-making speed within their core FP&A work.

The Strategic Finance & Operations (SFO) team exists to help steer the company toward its strategic and operational goals. As trusted business partners, the team works closely with leaders across the organization to analyze complex operational challenges, identify key business drivers, and develop actionable strategies that improve performance and accelerate growth.
