The Real Pet Food Company is a market leader in fresh, natural pet nutrition, creating better food for healthier, happier pets. With a portfolio of trusted brands including Ivory Coat, Billy + Margot, Nature’s Gift and Fussy Cat, we’re challenging the status quo and changing the way pets are fed. Our success comes from combining high-quality ingredients, innovation and genuine passion for pets with the scale and capability to lead the category. We’re growing, ambitious and proudly REAL — and we’re looking for people who want to make their mark.
We’re excited to welcome a Group FP&A Manager who can bring structure, insight and pace to the way we plan, forecast and manage performance across our Group.
This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to run the annual budget and monthly forecast.
We’re looking for a practical builder and commercial thinker who can lift FP&A maturity, simplify how we report, automate where it makes sense and give leaders a much clearer view of what’s happening across the P&L — and, importantly, what we can do about it.
You’ll have the opportunity to make a visible impact over the next 12–18 months as we continue to evolve and grow the business.
What will you do?
As our Group FP&A Manager, you’ll own the Group’s planning, budgeting, forecasting and performance management cadence, turning financial outcomes into clear insights, risks, opportunities and actions for our Executive team.
Your key priorities will include:
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical FP&A capability with a genuine improvement mindset.
You’ll ideally bring:
You will enhance our team.
We’re looking for someone who is entrepreneurial, resilient, adaptable and comfortable with pace and change.
You’ll need to be curious enough to challenge the status quo, pragmatic enough to build solutions that actually work, and collaborative enough to bring people with you.
Most importantly, you’ll bring a genuine growth mindset — someone who sees ambiguity as an opportunity to build rather than a reason to wait.
Why this role?
This is an opportunity to join a business where you can see the impact of your work.
You’ll have the autonomy to build better ways of working, influence how the Group thinks about performance and help create a more mature, data-driven approach to planning and decision-making.
If you’re an FP&A professional who enjoys building, improving and influencing, rather than simply maintaining the status quo, we’d love to hear from you.
With the pet industry growing rapidly (a $15 billion industry!) and pets becoming increasingly important in our lives and homes, this is a unique opportunity to be a part of our remarkable growth story and advance your career.
Why join us?
Do work that matters. We’re pioneering in a new area of pet food, always striving for fresher. We’re restless, creating a better life for our pets.
Make an impact and change the game. You won’t be another ‘cog in the wheel’ here. We give full trust and autonomy for you to do your best work – and to make a real difference. Do you have a great idea for a new product or system improvement? We’re all ears!
Growing and global. We’re growing fast! We now have global presence across APAC and we’re only getting started!
Work with a pack of awesome, genuine people who are passionate about what they do.
Grow your career with us. We’re big believers in lifelong learning. You’ll be given access to LinkedIn Learning, plus opportunities for internal mobility and leadership training to fast-track your career.
Pets our part of our family: bring your pet to our Crows Nest office, access our Pawrental leave when you adopt a new cat or dog, pet carer and compassionate leave.
Generous perks including day off for your anniversary, product discounts, volunteering days to help the community, novated leases, a rewards program and parental leave.

We exist to create a world where every pet, every day eats fresher and lives better.
Our mission drives everything we do – from our nutritional philosophy and healthy delicious dog and cat recipes, to how we source real, fresh ingredients from local famers in Australia and New Zealand, to our kitchens and cooking facilities, our people and their programs, sustainability, sponsorships and more...
RPF is the pioneer in fresher pet nutrition. For 30 years we have championed a better way of caring for the health and wellbeing of our pets. Today, we have new cooking techniques that allow us to make food that is fresher, less processed, and even unprocessed and raw. And as the science emerges in fresher nutrition, it is beginning to show what we all instinctively know, a fresher diet is better for our loved dogs and cats.
It’s why we want everyone to join us on our journey to fresher nutrition.
