Job Description

Step into a high-impact finance leadership role where precision meets scale.

This fast-growing, tech-driven business is reshaping how customers experience online commerce across multiple platforms. With continued expansion, they’re building a finance function that can keep pace with innovation and operational complexity.

This role is the right hand to the CFO—designed for someone who thrives in the engine room of finance and wants to own and elevate transactional excellence across the group.

What this role is all about:

You’ll take full ownership of the operational finance function, leading teams across AP, AR, GL, reporting, and stock. Your focus? Accuracy, control, and continuous improvement—freeing up the CFO to focus on strategy while you ensure the numbers are rock solid.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own end-to-end transactional finance, including month-end and year-end processes
  • Lead and develop finance operations teams and team leads
  • Drive process optimisation, automation, and efficiency across finance
  • Strengthen controls, governance, and financial discipline
  • Play a key role in ERP system evaluation and implementation
  • Identify opportunities to centralise and streamline finance across group entities

What we’re looking for:

  • CA(SA) preferred
  • 4–7 years’ post-articles experience
  • Strong background in operational/transactional finance
  • Experience in retail, e-commerce, fintech, or tech environments
  • Proven people management and leadership capability
  • Detail-oriented, hands-on, and process-driven mindset

What’s in it for you:

  • Opportunity to shape and scale a high-performing finance function
  • Exposure to a dynamic, fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • Strong leadership partnership with an experienced CFO

If you’re someone who takes ownership, sweats the details, and enjoys building efficient finance operations—this could be your next big move.
