  • Transformation & Projects : Drive key finance transformation initiatives including US GAAP ledger enablement, CoA harmonisation, system integrations and upgrades.
  • Governance & Compliance : Enforce master data standards, support audit readiness and monitor data quality through KPIs and risk controls.
  • Process Improvement : Champion automation, efficiency and integration across finance systems, partnering with Finance and Digital Technology teams.
  • Leadership & Collaboration : Mentor data stewards, serve as the point of accountability for master data and consolidation systems, and collaborate with Controllership, FP&A and auditors.

The Requirements

  • Post‑graduate degree in Accounting, Finance or Information Systems.
  • Professional qualification (CA, CIMA or equivalent) preferred.
  • SAP and HFM or other financial system certifications are advantageous.
  • 8 years’ experience managing enterprise finance systems in multi‑region environments.
  • Proven expertise in SAP FI / CO, HFM administration and FDMEE integration.
  • Strong background in financial consolidation, close cycles and reporting compliance.
  • Experience with SOX, audit and master data governance.
  • Exposure to EPMWare, Workiva, TM1 or BI / reporting platforms is advantageous.
  • Active involvement in large‑scale SAP or HFM projects such as migrations, CoA harmonisation or automation.
  • The Rewards

  • Based in Johannesburg, this position offers a permanent contract with a competitive remuneration package.
  • Offers a unique opportunity to play a strategic role in shaping the financial systems landscape of a leading multinational, driving innovation, efficiency and compliance across the Group.
