Job Vacancies

Golden Cockerel is one of Queensland's leading poultry producers, supplying major national customers across retail and food service channels.

With close to 800 employees and ambitious growth plans, the business continues to invest in production capability, automation, infrastructure and distribution. Recent expansion projects, new customer agreements and increased production targets position the organisation for continued long-term success.

What sets Golden Cockerel apart is its culture.

Despite its size, the business remains highly collaborative, agile and relationship driven. Employees are trusted to take ownership; decisions are made efficiently and long-term careers are genuinely valued. Many team members have been with the organisation for more than a decade, reflecting the stability and supportive environment the business has built.

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this is a rare opportunity to step into a succession-critical position within a well-established finance team.

The role has become available due to the planned retirement of a long-serving employee who has been with the business for more than 40 years, providing the successful candidate with a structured handover and the opportunity to learn from one of the organisation's most experienced finance professionals.

This is far more than a traditional accounts role.

You will work across a broad range of finance responsibilities while becoming a key support resource to the CFO and wider Finance team.

Key responsibilities include:   

• Supporting month-end processing and reporting
• Preparing journals, accruals and reconciliations
• Managing creditor reconciliations and payment processes
• Maintaining the fixed asset register
• Assisting with cash flow reporting
• Supporting BAS and compliance activities
• Assisting with audit preparation and reporting requirements
• Maintaining key financial registers and documentation
• Contributing to process improvement initiatives
• Providing support across the broader finance function

This position will suit someone who enjoys variety, accountability and working within a business where no two days are the same.

You are a capable and hands-on finance professional who enjoys operating across a broad range of accounting responsibilities and takes pride in delivering accurate, high-quality work.

You may currently be working as a Senior Finance Officer, Assistant Accountant, Senior Accounts Officer or Financial Accountant and are seeking a role that offers greater variety, exposure and long-term opportunity.

You will bring strong experience across month-end processes, reconciliations, fixed assets and financial administration, together with the ability to build trusted relationships across a business. Experience within manufacturing, FMCG, logistics, distribution or another operational environment will be highly regarded, as will exposure to SAP or a large ERP system.

Most importantly, you are someone who takes ownership, enjoys being part of a team and is willing to contribute wherever required.

Culture will be one of the most important factors in the success of this appointment.

Golden Cockerel has built a stable, loyal and highly collaborative team environment where people genuinely support one another. Many employees have been with the organisation for more than a decade, creating a workplace built on trust, accountability and strong working relationships.

The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys working within a close-knit team, values long-term career stability and understands that success comes from contributing beyond the boundaries of a position description. You will be adaptable, approachable and comfortable working within a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift and teamwork is highly valued.

You will thrive in an environment where people are trusted to take ownership, support one another and contribute across a variety of responsibilities. A willingness to help the broader team, build strong relationships and embrace variety will be key to your success.

This is a rare opportunity to join a successful Queensland business during an exciting period of growth and investment while working directly alongside an experienced and supportive CFO.

You'll step into a succession-critical role with the benefit of a structured handover from a highly respected long-term employee, providing an exceptional platform for success. The position offers broad exposure across the finance function, genuine variety in day-to-day responsibilities and the opportunity to become a trusted member of a stable and highly regarded team.

Golden Cockerel combines the scale and security of a large organisation with the agility and accessibility of a privately owned business. Employees are trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas and take ownership of outcomes.

Additional benefits include free onsite parking, employee product discounts, modern facilities, genuine flexibility when personal circumstances arise and the opportunity to build a long-term career within an organisation that values loyalty, contribution and strong relationships.
