Finance and Administration Manager

Profile

Value Team Role

Strong, stable, thorough, caring, giving and energetic. A Planner. This player ticks all of these boxes; in fact they thrive on ticking boxes generally.

They are the glue that holds AIME together. With their middle name being ‘reliable’ this person knows the middle names of everyone else in the team, their Tax File Numbers and whether they like Coldplay or Michael Buble best. Such is the depth of their commitment to the team.

No stone goes unturned, all bases are covered and all clichés are accounted for.

With a keen eye out for an un-dotted I or a t masquerading as an l, the Admin Manager ensures all players stats are logged, jerseys are on, laces are tied, and that they have fresh oranges and red cordial for half time.

Organising sta! "ights, maintaining the "ow of information from the sta! to HPU, signing o! on the payroll or making sure there are enough pens, chairs and computers for everyone is all in a days work. This role supports the High Performance and the Finance and Partnering Units, as well as taking on the mantle of O#ce Manager. This player is always up for a challenge, feeling equally at home with the giant crossword or samurai Sudoku.

Workplace happiness is the number one KPI but they aren’t the clown in the piece, more like a ring master that happens to be great at juggling. As a key member of the High Performance Team (HR and L&D) they are great at interfacing with the amazing people at AIME. Yet having a dotted line to the Finance and Partnering team they are equally adept at the challenge of writing a great $nancial Report.

They are driven by the fact that the rest of the team is counting on them to do their best so they can do theirs. Distributing smiles, good vibes and peace of mind is all part of the service.

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Finance and Administration Manager!

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Finance and Administration Manager !

AIME is proud to offer a dynamic environment of learning and development for its staff. AIME is committed to building Australia’s future leaders – Indigenous and non-Indigenous – and providing an environment that brings all of these future leaders together to deliver the highest quality, most effective mentoring program available to Indigenous high school kids across our nation; so they can finish school at the same rate as every Australia child.

AIME Learning & Development Key Programs – Touch-points – Initiatives

1. AIME Staff Camps, AIME Quarterlies & Learning and Development Days

14 days where the whole team comes together in Sydney to touch base each quarter, to reflect, regroup and refine our skills and focus for the next stage.

At the quarterly touch-points the AIME Team attends workshops run by some of Australia’s leading organizations including Google, Coca Cola, Telstra, Origin Energy, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders. Themes include: Leadership, Management, Communication, Team Synergy, Culture and many more.

2. AIME Professional Mentoring and Leadership Program

Our commitment to mentoring also extends to our staff who receive their own Professional Mentor for 5-6 months of the year. It’s a chance for AIME to connect our staff with some of Australia’s current leaders, to grow and learn from their experience, and to then feed it back into our day-to-day work.

The following, are an example of the calibre of people who have been involved as Professional Mentors with AIME: Chris Sarra (Executive Director, Stronger Smarter Institute), Adam Spencer (ABC Radio), Greg Hutchinson (Executive Partner, Bain & Company), Marion Potts (Artistic Director, Malthouse Theatre), Chris Boys (General Manager, Support Services Team, Social Ventures Australia), and many more.!

3. Study and Development Leave

Each AIME staff member will receive an extra 5 days of leave that can be directed towards the staff member’s development. It may mean that some staff choose to complete a course, others may wish to do some reading or writing, others may simply take the time to experience new perspectives through conferences or festivals. Staff simply apply for the extra leave, and then can use the pay for those 5 days of study and development leave and direct it towards something they want to do.

!4. Cultural Leave

Each staff member will also receive 3 days of cultural leave each year. Basically this was brought in to give all of our staff, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, the chance to build their connection with Indigenous Australia. For many of our Indigenous staff it's a chance to get back home, to learn language, or maybe even to go to another blackfella's country and learn from their experience. Then for our non-Indigenous staff, it's a chance to really build that connect point around what it means to be Australian, a chance to maybe volunteer for another Indigenous organisation, or head off with an Indigenous AIME staff member to their country, or attend festivals such as Garma. A strong connection to Indigenous Australia makes us all much richer in terms of our history, identity and sense of belonging as Australians !
