SUMMARY:
Build Systems That Keep the Machines Moving: Lead the Next Big Project in Manufacturing. Once upon a production line, there was a finance professional who loved more than just numbers - they loved how things worked. They saw systems like puzzle pieces, data like power, and the plant floor as the beating heart of every great business.

POSITION INFO:
This isn’t just a systems upgrade. It’s a full-scale evolution.

You’ll be the one bridging finance and operations, ensuring that new tech (SAP or Syspro) doesn’t just get implemented - it gets adopted, optimised, and loved by the people who use it.

You’ll lead cross-functional teams, manage timelines and expectations, and make sure that the system tells the same story in finance as it does on the factory floor.

If you understand manufacturing, speak fluent “finance and operations,” and thrive in fast-paced environments where there’s always a problem to solve - this one’s built for you.

Now, one of South Africa’s leading industrial groups is looking for a Project Manager: Finance & Operations Systems to turn their next big transformation into reality. Based in Johannesburg East, this role is where finance, systems, and operations collide - and you’re the one connecting it all.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and execute finance and operations system projects from planning to rollout
Translate business needs into system functionality and process improvement
Partner with plant managers, finance teams, and IT to align goals and outcomes
Oversee system integrations, testing, training, and user adoption
Drive continuous improvement across finance and manufacturing operations

Job Experience and Skills:

BCom Degree (Finance, Systems, or Operations) – essential
5–8 years’ experience in a plant-based or manufacturing environment
Proven project management experience with system implementation (SAP or Syspro)
Strong understanding of both finance and operations workflows
Ability to translate business processes into tech solutions that work
Analytical, organised, and ready to lead from the front
