Aristocrat seeks a strategic and commercially minded finance leader for our Development & Build Finance team. As Director of Portfolio Planning & Capital Allocation, you will influence investment decisions, prioritize capital, guide portfolio strategy, and measure success across our multi-billion-dollar global business. This role offers a unique opportunity to help shape Aristocrat's strategic direction by ensuring investments are aligned to the initiatives that create the greatest long-term value for the organization.
Far beyond a traditional FP&A role, this highly visible position sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, governance, and executive decision-making. You will help shape Aristocrat's capital allocation framework, investment governance processes, and strategic decision-making across Product, Technology, Studios, Finance, and enterprise functions. Partnering closely with senior leaders across the organization, you will evaluate cases, assess investment opportunities, and guide how the company allocates capital across innovation, technology, talent, and growth. Your work will directly influence portfolio priorities, investment governance, resource allocation, and long-term business performance across the enterprise.
The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, commercially astute, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. You can move seamlessly between critical thinking, financial analysis, operational execution, and executive communication. You build credibility quickly, challenge conventional thinking when needed, and influence decision-making through clear insights and compelling business narratives. If you are energized by solving complex business problems, driving measurable impact, and helping senior leaders make better investment decisions, this is an exceptional opportunity to build a new capability, gain broad organizational exposure, and leave a lasting mark on the future of Aristocrat.
We offer a comprehensive pay and benefits package designed to stay competitive in the market, support your wellbeing, and recognise your contribution to our success. Our approach is underpinned by a pay-for-performance belief in rewarding individual impact. Your specific compensation package will be determined by factors such as your skills, experience, qualifications, and location.
Depending on your role and location, you may be eligible for annual bonuses and incentives, health and wellbeing benefits, paid time off, retirement plans, insurance coverage, and other local or statutory benefits.
Specific details about compensation and benefits for this position will be discussed during the recruitment process.
