Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Network1 Full time R120 000 - R180 000 per year
If you're a CA(SA) who lives for problem-solving, spotting risks before they bite, and steering big retail operations with calm confidence, this one's worth your attention. This role puts you right at the centre of decision-making, supporting teams across operations, property, and HR - and your voice actually matters here.

You'll join a well-known national retailer with massive scale, strong processes, and solid financial backing. It's a place where finance isn't a "push the numbers" function, it's a strategic heartbeat. They invest in strong tech, give you room to influence, and value people who think ahead, not just keep score.

If you want a role where you can sharpen your leadership, drive meaningful change, and work with teams who genuinely rely on your insights, this is it.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Guide operations, property, and HR leadership through clear financial insights, risks, and opportunities
  • Drive accurate, timely reporting across monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles, plus follow through on corrective actions
  • Lead planning and forecasting processes, ensuring that the business balances risks and opportunities
  • Manage and develop the operations finance team to deliver strong results and high-quality work
  • Support new store feasibility, pharmacy acquisitions, and business case development
  • Promote profitability and protect company assets through strong financial governance

Job Experience and Skills Required:
  • CA(SA) is non-negotiable
  • 10+ years finance experience
  • Retail industry experience in a large or listed environment is highly advantageous
  • Solid background partnering with operations, HR, or property teams
  • Experience leading and developing a finance team
  • Strong analytical and accounting skills
  • Confident communicator and presenter
  • Excellent Excel skills
  • Comfortable with ERP and BI systems (SAP / BI is a big plus)
  • Naturally organized, adaptable, and able to handle pressure in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong leadership presence
