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.
