- Key business partner to the Executive team

- Drive insights, innovation, and strategic capability
Chorus is the digital backbone of Aotearoa. As the country’s largest open-access telecommunications infrastructure provider, our fibre network connects homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses to the services they rely on. With a bold strategy and a renewed purpose — unleashing potential through connectivity — we’re shifting from being the great network builder to the great network operator. That means transformation across every layer of the business — including finance.
This is where you come in.
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Head of Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is a critical business partner to the CEO, COO, and Executive team. You’ll lead Chorus’ long-range planning and budgeting processes, aligning financial strategy with investment priorities and capital frameworks. You’ll provide forward-looking analysis, surface risks and opportunities, and deliver the insights that help shape decisions at the highest levels.
You’ll drive cross-functional collaboration across Technology, Commercial, and Operations teams to deliver meaningful financial narratives — connecting strategy to performance and enabling smart trade-offs. This includes outcome-focused reporting, robust KPI frameworks, and post-implementation reviews that track benefit delivery and ensure accountability.
As a commercial thought partner, you’ll assess business cases, pricing models, incentive structures, and customer profitability to support sustainable growth. You’ll also lead the development of a high-performing team with capability in data storytelling, strategic modelling, and business challenge — all supported by tools like Power BI, Tableau, and BPC.
This is a role for someone who can turn complex data into clarity, and insight into action.
What we’re looking for
We’re after a strategic and commercially sharp finance leader who thrives in complexity and delivers with precision.
You’ll bring:
- Substantial experience leading operational finance at scale
- Advanced capability in Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and ideally BPC
- A strong track record of strategic planning, forecasting, and business performance
- Credibility at executive and board levels, with the ability to influence decisions and challenge thinking
Why Chorus?
With our bold strategy in place and a team of passionate people behind it, Chorus is an exciting place to lead. We embrace flexible work, foster an inclusive culture, and invest in the development of our people. As part of our leadership team, you’ll be shaping not just the future of our business — but helping unlock better futures for all of Aotearoa.
