Blum And Hofmeyr is looking for a French client service executive based in Johannesburg. This is a permanent role for a bilingual professional who can be the primary point of contact for French clients and manage their reclaim documentation from start to finish.
About the company and the work
The role sits with Blum And Hofmeyr in Johannesburg and centres on client service in a financial services setting. The executive looks after French clients, builds long-term relationships with them, and works with custodian banks, tax authorities and internal teams to move reclaim documentation through the process. It is a detail-heavy role that combines client care, coordination and reporting, and it suits someone who is fluent in both French and English and comfortable working across teams and external partners.
Role details and duties
The executive serves as the primary point of contact to French clients and manages the end-to-end reclaim documentation process, liaising with clients, custodian banks, tax authorities and internal teams to request, collect, reconcile and validate documentation in line with jurisdictional requirements. The role involves building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with clients to foster loyalty and retention, and collaborating with internal departments to resolve issues in the reclaim process and proactively drive client reclaims through to submission. The executive also prepares and presents regular reports on clients’ reclaims and other potential opportunities, and monitors client satisfaction, proactively addressing any issues or concerns. This is a permanent position based in Johannesburg. The reference is #MH and applications close on 29 December 2026. Please note: the advert header shows a salary figure of R1,000.00 per month, which looks like a placeholder rather than a real salary for this role, so no salary is stated here. Confirm the actual remuneration in the original advert before applying.
Requirements
Applicants need a bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Law or a related field, and fluency in both French and English. The advert lists required skills of two to three years in account management, two to three years in client service experience, and two to three years of experience in financial services. Candidates also need exceptional organisational skills to manage multiple clients and tasks efficiently, strong verbal and written communication skills, the ability to multi-task and prioritise in a fast paced environment, high attention to detail, proficiency in Microsoft Office, Excel, Outlook and Word, effective time management, a proactive, problem solving mindset, passion and enthusiasm for delivering excellent client service, and a collaborative approach to working with internal teams and external partners.
