For leaders joining at this moment, the opportunity is extraordinary: to help shape the growth of a fintech that blends local trust with global vision, and to drive meaningful change in the way Australians engage with investing.
The Opportunity
Selfwealth by Syfe is looking for a Head of Australia to take the helm of our Australian operations. With full P&L accountability and the backing of Syfe Group, you will lead our local expansion, drive a high-performance culture, and oversee everything from product innovation to daily operations.
This is a unique opportunity for a commercial-first leader to transform a trusted brand into a modern, agile powerhouse.
- Strategic Market Leadership: Take charge of Australia—a primary growth engine for Syfe’s regional expansion—backed by significant capital and long-term executive support.
- P&L Ownership & Autonomy: Run the Australian business as your own. You are responsible for the bottom line, revenue growth, and high-level execution across the board.
- Cultural Catalyst: Lead the evolution of Selfwealth from a traditional model into a fast-paced, scale-up environment that prizes agility and innovation.
- Product Visionary: Define the roadmap for Australian investors. You’ll make the critical “build vs. buy” calls and ensure our product suite meets the needs of a sophisticated market.
- Cross-Functional Management: Lead a Melbourne-based team of over 60 professionals across Product, Marketing, Compliance, Finance, and Operations.
- Regional Synergy: Work hand-in-hand with Syfe’s Singapore headquarters to align global resources with local strategic goals.
- Market Influence: Serve as the face of the brand within the Australian fintech ecosystem, engaging with high-net-worth segments and shaping our industry positioning.
Capability and Experience
- Scale-Up Expert: You have a track record of leading teams of 60+ within high-growth tech environments. Note: We are looking for “builders,” not “maintainers”
- Commercial Product Leader: You approach business through a product lens. You know how to link feature development directly to revenue and P&L success.
- Change Agent: You have successfully navigated business transformations, shifting organizational cultures toward speed and customer-centricity.
- Locally Embedded: You are well-connected within the Australian financial services and fintech landscape.
- Strategic yet Tactical: You can design a five-year vision in the morning and dive into execution hurdles in the afternoon.
- High-Accountability Culture Builder: You know how to attract top talent and foster a values-driven workplace.
- Investment Enthusiast: While you don’t need to be a career investor, you must have a genuine passion for personal finance and the investing world.
How we work
At Syfe, we live by the 3Hs:
- Humility: We don’t have all the answers, so we seek feedback, embrace challenges and encourage diverse perspectives to continuously improve and grow together.
- Hunger: We set high standards for ourselves, looking to learn, grow and multiply our impact, while appreciating every opportunity and success along the way.
- Hustle: We drive results collaboratively with passion and perseverance, pushing the limits of innovation to ensure the best outcomes and solutions for our customers.
If you’re excited about this role, we’d love to hear from you.
