Key Responsibilities:

Guide operations, property, and HR leadership through clear financial insights, risks, and opportunities
Drive accurate, timely reporting across monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles, plus follow through on corrective actions
Lead planning and forecasting processes, ensuring that the business balances risks and opportunities
Manage and develop the operations finance team to deliver strong results and high-quality work
Support new store feasibility, pharmacy acquisitions, and business case development
Promote profitability and protect company assets through strong financial governance

Job Experience and Skills Required:

CA(SA) is non-negotiable
10+ years finance experience
Retail industry experience in a large or listed environment is highly advantageous
Solid background partnering with operations, HR, or property teams
Experience leading and developing a finance team
Strong analytical and accounting skills
Confident communicator and presenter
Excellent Excel skills
Comfortable with ERP and BI systems (SAP / BI is a big plus)
