Financial Controller

Mid-sized manufacturing group — Johannesburg, Gauteng

BSP-001
Finance Permanent Johannesburg

A well-established manufacturing business is looking for a hands-on Financial Controller to lead a finance team of six. You'll own monthly close, reporting, compliance and budgeting while working closely with the CFO on strategic planning. The business has recently come through a period of restructuring and the finance function is in good shape — this is a role for someone who wants to run the engine room, not rebuild it from scratch.

What you'll need: CA(SA) or CIMA qualified with 4–7 years post-articles experience, strong management accounts exposure and ideally a background in manufacturing, FMCG or industrial environments.

Engineering Manager — Software

Growing fintech scale-up — Cape Town (Hybrid)

BSP-002
Technology Permanent Cape Town · Hybrid

A Cape Town-based fintech with strong product-market fit is hiring its first dedicated Engineering Manager. You'll lead a team of 8 engineers across backend and frontend, own delivery processes and act as a bridge between the CPO and the technical team. The stack is primarily Node.js/TypeScript with React on the frontend. The product is processing serious transaction volumes and the engineering quality is already solid — you'll be stepping in to add structure and mentorship, not firefighting.

What you'll need: Proven experience managing software engineering teams (5+), strong technical background in modern web stacks, and the communication skills to manage stakeholders confidently without losing the trust of engineers.

Procurement Manager

Listed retail group — Durban, KwaZulu-Natal

BSP-003
Supply Chain Permanent Durban

A leading national retailer is looking for a strategic Procurement Manager to manage a portfolio of indirect and FMCG supplier relationships. You'll lead a team of four buyers, drive negotiation strategy and work cross-functionally with logistics and merchandising to reduce total cost of ownership. The business has aggressive growth targets and procurement has a clear seat at the table — this is a role with real commercial influence.

What you'll need: 5+ years in a procurement or buying role, strong supplier negotiation experience, familiarity with contract management and ideally category management in a retail or FMCG context.

Process Engineer

Heavy industrial operation — Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal

BSP-004
Engineering Permanent Richards Bay

A large minerals processing plant is looking for a Process Engineer to support continuous improvement initiatives and optimise throughput across a key processing circuit. You'll work closely with the plant metallurgist and maintenance team to identify inefficiencies, run root-cause analysis and implement solutions that directly impact production targets. The plant runs a complex flowsheet and the role offers genuine technical challenge.

What you'll need: BEng or BSc in Chemical or Metallurgical Engineering, 3–6 years experience in heavy industrial or mineral processing environments, strong data analysis and problem-solving capability.

FP&A Manager

High-growth logistics business — Johannesburg (Hybrid)

BSP-005
Finance Permanent Johannesburg · Hybrid

A PE-backed logistics business going through significant growth is looking for an FP&A Manager to build and own their planning and analysis capability. The business currently has basic reporting in place but minimal forward-looking analysis — you'd be coming in to establish the function. You'll report directly to the CFO and work closely with operational department heads to build financial models, scenario plans and dashboards that drive decision-making.

What you'll need: CA(SA) or CIMA qualified with 3–5 years post-articles experience, strong Excel and financial modelling skills, and ideally exposure to logistics, distribution or operations-heavy businesses.
