Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, or Business Administration.
CIMA qualification advantageous.
Minimum 5 years’ experience in a manufacturing or mining (plant-based) environment.
Proven track record in ERP or warehouse system implementation (Syspro or SAP preferred).
Strong understanding of costing, inventory, and production data flows.
Excellent communication, stakeholder, and leadership skills.
