Emergency Services and State Super (ESSSuper) is shuffling its senior management and is on the hunt for a chief financial officer to replace former CFO Michael Dundon.

The Melbourne-based CFO will lead a team of 10 staff to oversee financial management reporting and budgeting, accounting systems and management, taxation management and external audit and actuary services.

"The CFO plays a key role in achieving the organisation's strategic objectives, understanding and advising on the financial impact of management decisions, and creating efficiencies and improvements to the current financial services, policies and systems," an ESSSuper spokesperson said.

The recruitment process was being handled internally and an appointment was expected to be made in September, the spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, Dundon is currently performing the role of acting chief executive after former CEO Don Kofoed was forced to resign due to ill health in May this year.

As Investor Daily reported recently, the industry fund is also searching for a permanent chief executive to replace Kofoed and has engaged Kathleen & Associates to conduct the search.

The ESSSuper spokesperson said an announcement should be made by next week.

The incumbent ESSSuper CEO will lead a team of 130 people.

ESSSuper, the dedicated fund for emergency services and state employees, has more than 150,000 members and $14 billion in funds under management.
