About Megaport
We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.
Our Team Culture
We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.
We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.
Your Role
Reporting to the Corporate Reporting Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping Megaport’s reporting framework. This role elevates beyond standard month-end ledger consolidations to focus directly on key reporting deliverables: leading the project implementation of Megaport’s ESG and sustainability reporting framework, executing complex technical accounting assessments, and driving the global statutory reporting process.
Working closely with the Corporate Reporting Manager, CFO, external auditors, and global teams, you will perform first-level reviews of financial statements for overseas subsidiaries and ensure compliance with emerging technical standards (including AASB S1/S2 climate disclosures and IFRS updates). You will combine strong technical precision with cross-functional collaboration to deliver high-quality, investor-grade disclosures in a fast-paced environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Sustainability Reporting: Lead the design and implementation of Megaport’s sustainability reporting framework, establishing data-gathering processes aligned with AASB S1/S2 climate disclosure requirements and global ESG reporting standards.
- Global Statutory Reporting: Oversee the delivery of annual statutory financial statements across Megaport’s international subsidiary entities. Perform first-level reviews of financial statements and work papers prepared by local accounting teams and outsourced compliance partners.
- Technical Accounting: Lead the preparation of technical accounting papers for complex transactions, new IFRS/AASB accounting standards, and group policy updates to support the business and satisfy auditor requirements.
- External & ASX Reporting: Support the Corporate Reporting Manager in drafting interim and annual financial reports, board packs, and ASX market disclosures.
- Audit Management: Act as a key technical liaison for external auditors during interim and year-end audits, coordinating audit deliverables and resolving complex technical queries.
- Process Improvement: Identify and drive automation and process improvement initiatives across group reporting, international compliance, and ESG workflows.
What We Are Looking For
- CA or CPA qualification (essential).
- 5+ years of post-qualification experience (PQE) in financial reporting, statutory accounting, or technical accounting advisory, gained within a public-listed corporate or a Big 4/mid-tier audit background.
- Strong technical IFRS knowledge, with demonstrated experience preparing complex technical accounting papers.
- Solid understanding of, or active exposure to, corporate ESG/sustainability reporting standards (e.g., AASB S1/S2 or ISSB).
- Experience reviewing international statutory accounts and managing outsourced accounting or compliance service providers across global jurisdictions.
- Track record of supporting ASX (or equivalent listed) reporting requirements.
- Strong analytical, project management, and written communication skills with the confidence to communicate technical concepts to executive stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and step out of day-to-day transaction processing to focus on elevated reporting requirements.
What We Offer
- Flexible working environment – a remote-first culture with coworking options available
- Generous leave plans – including, parental leave, birthday leave, and a purchased annual leave program
- Health and wellness support – through a wellness allowance and employee wellbeing initiatives
- Comprehensive learning support – generous study and training allowance plus paid study leave
- Creative, modern workspaces – designed to inspire when you're not working remotely, plus access to coworking spaces via our global WeWork membership if you work remotely, but like to get out of the house sometimes
- Motivated, inclusive team – work alongside industry experts and fresh talent
- Recognition programs – celebrate achievements with our Legend and Kudos award
