An opportunity exists within our finance function for a Finance Manager who is comfortable owning outcomes, exercising judgement, and operating with accountability in a listed corporate environment.
This role is being shaped with the right person in mind. Our finance function is evolving, and the successful candidate will play a meaningful part in shaping what the finance function looks like as it evolves.
This role is suited to a qualified CA(SA) who has trained at a large audit firm and is intentionally moving into a position that combines technical depth, commercial engagement, and operational ownership. If you are looking to build lasting depth and credibility within a listed group, rather than rotate quickly between roles – this is worth your attention.
Key Responsibilities
The Finance Manager will operate across multiple areas of the finance function, contributing to core financial reporting processes and broader commercial and operational activities. This is not a purely reporting role. It requires ownership, sound judgement, and the ability to engage meaningfully beyond the numbers.
As the structure of the finance function evolves, so too may the shape of this role. We are looking for someone who is adaptable, commercially grounded, and willing to grow into expanded responsibility as the organisation develops.
Key areas of involvement include (but are not limited to):
Financial reporting and month-end / year-end processes within a listed company environment
Review and oversight of financial information to ensure accuracy, integrity, and compliance
Supporting external audit processes and engaging directly with auditors
Financial controls, governance, and adherence to regulatory and listing requirements
Providing financial analysis and insight to management and key stakeholders to support decision-making
Participation in ad hoc projects, process improvements, and cross-functional initiatives
Management, mentoring, and development of finance team members
Qualifications and Experience
Qualified CA(SA)
Articles completed at one of the large audit firms
Minimum of 2+ years post-articles experience
Experience within a listed company environment, or strong exposure to listed clients, would be advantageous
Demonstrated people, process, or workflow management experience
Solid grounding in financial reporting, controls, and professional standards
Demonstrated progression and increasing responsibility post-articles
Competencies
Comfortable with ambiguity — able to define and build a role, not just fill one
Able to shift between detail and big-picture thinking without losing control of either
Takes issues through to resolution rather than escalating prematurely
Operates with discipline and accountability in a deadline-driven environment
Engages confidently with both finance and non-finance stakeholders
Pragmatic and commercially grounded, with a strong sense of professional judgement
High level of integrity, accuracy, and respect for governance and controls
Deadline:24th June,2026
