Our client isn't looking for a finance person who sits in a corner producing reports. They're looking for someone who wants to be in the business, understand operations, enjoys solving problems and can spot opportunities hiding inside the numbers. If you've ever found yourself saying, "There has to be a better way of doing this," you'll fit right in!

POSITION INFO:
Our client is a rapidly growing FMCG and Retail business based in Centurion. As the company scales, they're looking for a Finance & Operations Manager who can help bridge the gap between finance, operations, stock, customers and future technology initiatives. The business still has a number of manual processes, creating a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys building, improving and implementing smarter ways of working. This role will suit someone who is equally comfortable analysing sales data in Excel as they are walking through a warehouse to understand operational challenges firsthand. You'll be the type of person who doesn't just report on what happened, you'll help shape what happens next.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage the full Order-to-Purchase (O2P) process
Support clients and manage customer relationships
Oversee stock, inventory and warehouse controls
Analyse sales performance and business trends
Produce meaningful reports and operational insights
Support warehouse quality control and process compliance
Identify and implement process improvements and efficiencies
Assist with automation projects and systems enhancements
Translate data into actionable business recommendations
Partner with operational teams to improve performance and profitability

Job Experience and Skills Required:

BCom Degree in Finance, Accounting, Commerce or related field
3+ years' experience in a Finance & Operations, Commercial Finance, Operations Analyst or similar role
Experience within FMCG, retail, wholesale, distribution, supply chain industries
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
Strong analytical and reporting capability
Experience with process improvement and systems implementation
Exposure to automation, AI tools, or digital transformation initiatives advantageous
Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills
Comfortable working both strategically and operationally

Who Will Thrive Here?

Someone who enjoys solving operational problems
Someone who can tell a story with numbers
Someone who doesn't mind rolling up their sleeves and spending time in the warehouse when needed
Someone who sees manual processes as opportunities, not frustrations
Someone who enjoys building, improving and making businesses better

If you're looking for a role where finance leaves the office and becomes part of the operation, this could be your next move!
