Job description

We’re looking for a hands-on finance leader who is as comfortable guiding a team through a reconciliation as they are presenting at Exco. This is a role for an experienced CA(SA) with the right mix of technical depth and commercial acumen, but just as importantly, the ability to nurture and upskill a small, dedicated team.

In a lean, semi-corporate environment, you’ll sit on Exco and cover the full finance spectrum : from consolidations, budgets and IFRS reporting, to embedding ESG-related disclosure and driving process improvements. You’ll work closely with operational teams, providing insight and proactive solutions that strengthen decision-making across the business.

Minimum Requirements :

• CA(SA) with completed articles
• 8+ years’ financial experience , including 5–8 years in management (outside of audit)
• Strong track record in leading and upskilling teams
• Comfortable working in a lean, hands-on environment
• Ability to engage confidently at both operational and executive levels
• Exposure to mining, heavy industry, or asset-intensive environments is advantageous

If you thrive in a setting where you can roll up your sleeves, add value across all levels, and bring out the best in people, this could be the opportunity for you!
