Overview
This role supports the organization’s US business and US services operations that provide services to Frontier Radiology—an independent, AI-first, physician-owned teleradiology practice. The position reports to the CFO and serves as the primary finance presence in the US, with day-to-day ownership of the function and a high degree of autonomy. Group Finance in Australia provides governance and visibility into the business. Current transaction processing is handled by an outsourced provider; the Finance Manager will set direction and develop a roadmap to progressively bring that capability in-house.
