SUMMARY:
Are you a number-whispering, strategy-slinging finance pro with mining mojo?
Got what it takes to turn data into gold (literally)? Then buckle up, this one's for you.

POSITION INFO:
About the Role
One of Africa’s leading mining groups is looking for a sharp, curious, and forward-thinking Finance Leader to steer its financial planning, forecasting, and performance journey. This isn’t your average behind-the-scenes role — you’ll be rubbing shoulders with execs, diving into operations, and turning financial data into serious business decisions. If you’re tired of just reporting the numbers and ready to start shaping the story behind them — we’re all ears.

Key Focus Areas

Own the regional budgeting, forecasting, and planning process like a boss — aligning the numbers with the bigger picture.
Use data like a detective — uncover insights through smart analytics, reports, and financial modelling that make people sit up and listen.
Design performance frameworks and KPIs that actually mean something — then make sure they stick across all sites.
Get hands-on with operational spending — spotting where the money’s leaking and how to plug the gaps with purpose.
Run the numbers behind big-ticket projects — from ROI to “what if” scenarios, your analysis will steer major calls.
Work closely with leadership to bake financial thinking into every level of the business.
Drive better, faster, smarter processes — leading system optimisation across SAP, HFM, TM1, and Power BI.
Benchmark against the best, flag what’s working (and what’s not), and help the business level up.

Requirements

CA(SA) qualification — non-negotiable.
10+ years in finance, with at least 5 of those in mining operational finance.
Strong experience in strategy, cost control, and turning data into decisions.
Deep knowledge of SAP, HFM, TM1, Power BI — not just familiarity, but confidence.
Proven leadership across large, complex, multi-site operations — you know how to keep the chaos organised.
