Role Purpose

Unifi is hiring for a new role within its Group Finance team focused on building and strengthening financial structures across the organisation.

This role will lead the design and execution of strategic finance projects while taking ownership of the group's treasury function.

We're looking for someone who combines strong financial acumen with entrepreneurial drive—someone who's analytically sharp, passionate about doing business in Africa, and energized by solving complex challenges. A healthy sense of adventure (and humour) is a big plus

Responsibilities

  • Develop a holistic understanding of the business to inform financial decision-making and strategic initiatives.
  • Identify inefficiencies in the control environment through thorough documentation and propose practical improvements.
  • Conceptualise, design, and execute financial projects that enhance operational and financial effectiveness.
  • Support the development and documentation of the financial control environment across the group.
  • Build robust financial models to support business operations, treasury planning, and long-term financial strategy.
  • Engage regional finance teams to effectively roll out financial projects and ensure consistency in execution.
  • Assist in detailed cash flow forecasting and contribute to group-wide liquidity planning.
  • Analyse the debtor's book and provide insights into its impact on the business.
  • Contribute to opex benchmarking and conduct comprehensive group-wide cost analysis.
  • Lead and support the implementation and development of new financial software and tools.
  • Align software rollouts with an optimal control environment and ensure proper documentation throughout.
  • Enhance and embed controls post-software implementation to ensure continuous improvement.
  • Provide analysis and insights to support the development of financial tools and dashboards.
  • Develop systems to enable accurate and efficient branch-based accounting.
  • Drive change management efforts and support the business through education and implementation of financial controls.

Requirements

  • Fully qualified CIMA professional with 2–3 years of post-qualification experience.
  • Experience in control development and system implementation will be highly advantageous.
  • Industry experience in lending is not required — we welcome diverse backgrounds.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally as part of the role.
  • Passionate about Africa and motivated to work in a developing world context.
