As we enter our next phase of growth, we are strengthening our management structure and seeking an experienced, organised and dependable Finance & HR Lead to take ownership of our financial administration, payroll, HR processes and statutory responsibilities.

This is a hands-on position suited to someone who enjoys taking responsibility, building efficient processes and working independently within a busy manufacturing environment.

The Person We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, works accurately under pressure and doesn't need constant supervision.

The successful candidate should be practical, professional, approachable and confident when dealing with employees, management and external service providers.

This position requires more than processing transactions. It requires someone who can take responsibility for the finance and HR administration function and help build a stronger, more structured business.

What We Offer

• A permanent position within an established and growing South African manufacturing business.
• The opportunity to lead and develop an important business function.
• Direct involvement in strengthening the company's operational and administrative systems.
• A collaborative environment with opportunities for professional growth.
• Remuneration commensurate with qualifications and relevant experience.
