A senior finance leadership opportunity has opened in Pinetown, where a major player in the commercial transportation sector is looking for a Financial Director to head up its finance team. This is a permanent management role for an experienced finance professional who can take ownership of the numbers, guide strategy from the finance side of the business, and lead a team through growth and change.
About the company and the work
The employer is a client of The Recruitment People, described as a major role player in the commercial transportation sector. The finance team is based in Pinetown, and the successful candidate will sit at the head of that team, working closely with the wider business as it grows. The Recruitment People is a recruitment agency built around a simple idea it quotes on its profile: getting the right people into the right jobs is key to a company’s growth. Its approach is to source, screen and select candidates so that clients can focus on their core business and their bottom line, while the agency takes care of their recruitment needs.
Role details and duties
The Financial Director will take ownership of financial operations and provide strategic leadership and business support. The advert lists the following responsibilities, which it says include but are not limited to:
- Overseeing financial planning, budgeting, forecasting and reporting.
- Managing cash flow, compliance, audits, controls and financial risk.
- Providing strategic financial insights and monitoring profitability and performance.
- Leading the finance team and overseeing IT systems, supporting growth and business decisions.
In practice, that means this is a role for someone comfortable both with the detail of financial control and with the bigger picture: shaping plans, watching performance against them, and turning financial insight into advice the business can act on.
Requirements
The advert lists the following minimum requirements, and nothing beyond them has been added here:
- A BCom degree.
- CA(SA), an MBA or CIMA will be beneficial.
- Five years in a financial management role.
- Prior strategic involvement will be highly preferable.
- Experience in the commercial transportation sector or similar industries.
The desired skills named in the advert are strategy, strategic thinking, financial operations and business support. No salary figure is shown on this listing — the pay is listed as undisclosed — so candidates should confirm remuneration directly with the recruiter rather than relying on any figure seen elsewhere.
Where to find and apply safely
This post is an informational summary only. The original vacancy is advertised by The Recruitment People on CareerJunction, and the Apply button on this page links directly to that original advert. Apply only through that official listing, and be cautious of anyone who contacts you claiming to offer this job through a different channel, asks for payment to process an application, or requests banking details before an interview. A genuine recruiter will not charge you to apply.
Practical tips
Because this is a senior, permanent appointment, it is worth preparing a CV that shows the full scope of your finance leadership: the size and shape of teams you have led, the planning and reporting cycles you have owned, and examples of strategic input that changed a business decision. If you have worked in commercial transportation or a closely related industry, make that experience easy to find. If you hold CA(SA), an MBA or CIMA, list it prominently, since the advert flags these as beneficial. Given the short expiry window noted above, do not delay an application you intend to make — but do still check the original advert first to confirm the role is still open.
How the process works
Applications go through the original CareerJunction listing, where the recruiter will assess your CV against the existing vacancy. The advert includes a disclaimer noting that submitted CVs are assessed for suitability against existing vacancies, and candidates are typically only contacted if shortlisted, so keep an eye on your email and phone after applying. Shortlisted candidates can then expect to discuss their experience, strategic involvement and sector background in more detail with the recruiter and the client.
