SUMMARY:

If you’re the kind of finance pro who thrives on complexity, can handle multiple stakeholders without breaking a sweat, and knows your way around a financial model like it’s second nature — keep reading.

POSITION INFO:
The Opportunity:
A leading name in the energy infrastructure space is looking for a Senior Finance Manager to take charge of the numbers — and the strategy behind them. This isn’t just another reporting role. You’ll be working closely with senior leadership, shaping financial decisions that directly impact multi-billion-rand assets. Project finance, cash strategy, board presentations, stakeholder wrangling? All in a day's work.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Running the full finance function for large-scale infrastructure projects
Keeping reporting sharp, accurate, and fully IFRS-compliant
Leading the budgeting and forecasting process (and making sure it actually aligns with reality)
Managing debt, treasury, and complex funding structures
Handling shareholder payments, lender reports, and dividend flows
Keeping tax compliance watertight (VAT, Income Tax, the works)
Owning the audit process from start to finish
Working with internal teams and external players — from Eskom to the Reserve Bank
Maintaining and improving financial models (this is a core part of the job, not a nice-to-have)
Managing and mentoring a small finance team while keeping systems, controls, and governance tight

Who You Are:

CA(SA) accreditation is essential
8 + years post article experience is essential
A pro at financial modelling — you can build, interpret, and adapt complex models with ease
Comfortable with project finance structures, IPPs, and funding agreements
Tech-savvy with solid Excel and ERP system skills
Confident communicator — you’ll be presenting to boards, banks, and external authorities

Why This Role:
This is your chance to step into a high-impact role with real ownership. You won’t be stuck behind a spreadsheet all day — you’ll be part of big conversations, driving outcomes that shape the future of energy in South Africa. It’s challenging, fast-paced, and rewarding.
