• Supporting staff performance, providing training, and handling grievances or conflict resolution.
• Reporting weekly to the Finance Manager on outstanding queries, staffing, and new starters.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with transporters, including on-boarding and regular check-ins.
• Reviewing creditor reconciliations monthly and uploading approved payments to the accounting system.
• Ensuring compliance with internal policies, accounting standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Identifying opportunities to automate and improve creditors processes.

What we are looking for:

• Matric (essential) as a minimum Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field (advantageous).
• Proven experience in a creditors or accounts payable management role, ideally within transport or logistics.
• Proficiency in accounting systems (e.g. Acumatica), creditor reconciliation processes, and Microsoft Office.
• Strong people-management skills, including performance management and staff development.
• Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to interpret reconciliations and aging analyses.
• Confident communication and relationship-management skills across all levels.
• Ability to prioritise, manage multiple queries at once, and meet deadlines.
• Sound judgement and a willingness to take ownership beyond the job description.

What is in it for you:

• The chance to lead a team and shape how the creditors function runs.
• Exposure to senior management and cross-functional collaboration.
• A dynamic, fast-paced environment where your contributions are visible and valued.
• Room to drive process improvements and put your own stamp on the role.
