• Drive cost discipline, margin visibility, and continuous improvement
• Partner with operational teams on budgeting, forecasting, and financial performance
• Implement processes that support scale, efficiency, and business continuity
• Manage audits, compliance, and governance requirements
• Lead, mentor, and develop finance team members

• BCom Degree (with completed articles being highly beneficial)
• 3+ years’ experience in a Financial Manager role
• Exposure to industrial, manufacturing, or production environments
• Strong stock experience - this is a non-negotiable
