Job Description

Ready to lead financial transformation in the heart of international logistics?

We're on the lookout for a strategic Financial Manager who's equally comfortable in the boardroom and on the ground—a leader who can lead with insight, inspire with innovation, and deliver with discipline.

About the Role

As one of three Financial Managers in a major logistics division (part of a top-tier SA group), you'll be responsible for steering financial strategy across a 500-600 person portfolio covering ocean freight, air, customs, and forwarding.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of 40 finance professionals, unlocking growth and capacity
• Own strategic financial planning, budgeting, and scenario modelling across regions
• Champion financial systems optimisation and data-driven reporting (Power BI, ERP, Cargowise)
• Strengthen governance, audit readiness, and ISO-aligned compliance controls
• Partner with EXCO and operations to deliver insight, pricing support, and cost optimisation
• Identify and mitigate financial risks from FX exposure to working capital cycles
• Embed financial thinking into tenders, procurement, and service innovation

What We're Looking For

• CA(SA) or CIMA with a BCom Honours in Finance or Accounting (essential)
• 8-10 years in senior finance roles, ideally in logistics, freight, or supply chain
• Expertise in financial modelling, reporting, risk management, and pricing strategy
• A strong grasp of ISO governance and regulatory compliance
• Advanced proficiency in ERP, Excel, and BI tools
• Demonstrated leadership with the ability to coach, inspire, and elevate a large team
• Strategic mindset, operational savvy, and an appetite for change and innovation

What's In It for You

• A senior leadership role with influence across a national logistics powerhouse
• Opportunity to shape finance culture and processes in a forward-thinking environment
• Exposure to EXCO decision-making and commercial strategy
• Hybrid work model and long-term career growth in a stable group

Curious? Energised by the challenge?
