Perform inventory control activities, including reconciliations, provisions, and alignment with S&OP processes.
Support CAPEX submissions, continuous improvement initiatives, and supply chain-related projects.
Partner with stakeholders on contract reviews, cost optimisation, pricing improvements, and financial decision support.
Support half-year and year-end financial close and external audit requirements.
Drive process improvements across reporting, analytics, and systems, including automation, enhanced workflows, and emerging technologies (such as AI), to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
Assist with Half-Year and External Audits.

You will also have:

Proven experience in manufacturing, supply chain, or operations finance within FMCG, dairy, or pharmaceutical industries.
Demonstrated ability to improve, automate, or standardise finance or reporting processes.

High commercial acumen with the ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insight.
Advanced systems capability (Oracle or similar ERP/EPM systems), comfortable working with large datasets.
A tertiary qualification in Accounting or Finance; professional qualification (CA, CPA, or CIMA) preferred.
