Unique Personnel is looking for a Financial Manager in Johannesburg, Gauteng, for a permanent role in the retail sector. The salary is negotiable, and applications close on 27 November 2026. The advert reference number is 80885. Applicants should note that this is a brief advert: it describes the role in a single line — full function financial management — and states only two requirements. This post therefore sets out exactly what the advert states, and flags where the advert gives no further detail, so applicants know to confirm the full scope in the original listing before applying.
About the company and the work
Unique Personnel is a recruitment agency, and this vacancy is listed for a client in the retail sector. The role is a full-function financial management position, which means the successful candidate will be responsible for the finance function as a whole rather than a single slice of it. In general, full-function financial management covers the day-to-day running of the finance department — including financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow management and statutory compliance — but the advert itself does not publish a detailed duty list, so applicants should confirm the exact responsibilities, team size and reporting lines in the original advert or with the recruiter before applying.
Role details and duties
The role, as stated in the original advert, is full function financial management. No detailed day-to-day duty list is published in the advert. The confirmed facts are:
- The role is based in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
- The role is permanent.
- The sector is retail.
- The salary is negotiable.
- Applications close on 27 November 2026.
Because the advert is brief, applicants who want detail on the scope of the role — such as the size of the finance team, the systems used, or the specific reporting requirements — should raise those questions through the original listing.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- A relevant qualification.
- Financial management experience.
The advert does not specify a particular qualification, a minimum number of years of experience, or any specific system or industry requirement, so applicants should present the qualification and experience that best demonstrate their ability to run a finance function, and confirm any unstated expectations in the original advert.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. Note that the listing is marked as an external application, so the Apply button will take you to the application route set by the recruiter. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay a fee to secure a job or who contacts you outside the official listing: genuine employers do not charge applicants for placement.
Practical tips
With only two stated requirements, your application needs to do the persuading. Show clearly that you hold a relevant qualification and that you have genuine financial management experience — ideally in a role where you owned the full finance function. Give concrete examples: reporting you have produced, budgets you have managed, controls you have put in place, and any retail experience you have, since the sector is retail. Keep your CV neat, honest and free of errors, and be ready to discuss the scope of the finance functions you have run, because the recruiter will likely probe that gap in the advert.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy, which is marked as an external application. The advert had 104 views at the time of writing and no application count was shown. The advert does not set out further stages, so follow the instructions in the original listing and watch for direct contact from the recruiter handling the vacancy.
