What We’re Looking For

• Background in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field.
• Relevant finance or accounting experience.
• Some team leadership experience is a plus.
• Comfortable with spreadsheets, finance systems, and ERP tools.
• Strong communication and coordination skills.
• Organised, resourceful, and able to work with minimal supervision.
• Good judgement, common sense, and a strong sense of ownership.

• Ensure departmental KPIs are achieved.
• Ensure compliance with finance SOPs and internal controls.
