CFO

Job Description

Shape the future of fibre connectivity. Join a high-growth network operator on a bold mission to double in size over the next 5–10 years — and help steer the financial strategy that gets us there.

 

We’re looking for a commercially sharp, strategically minded CFO to lead the charge on all things finance. This is your opportunity to partner directly with the board, own critical financial processes, and influence high-stakes decisions in a business backed by major institutional investors.

 

What You’ll Be Driving:

• Lead company-wide financial strategy, forecasting, and planning
• Oversee cash flow, liquidity, capital structure, and treasury functions
• Build and mentor a high-performing finance team, driving excellence across accounting, controls, and reporting
• Design scalable financial systems and processes to support growth and integration
• Deliver investor-grade reporting — including board packs, dashboards, and financial models
• Own statutory compliance (tax, ICASA, B-BBEE, company secretarial) and serve as governance custodian
• Act as a key player in capital raises, acquisitions, and strategic expansion projects

What We’re Looking For:

• CA(SA) qualification with 10+ years post-articles experience, including at CFO/FD level
• Proven track record in fundraising, financial reporting, budgeting, and audits
• Hands-on leadership in acquisitions, integrations, and finance systems implementation
• Experience managing institutional investor and lender relationships
• Strong analytical mindset with comfort in data-heavy environments
• Sector exposure in telecoms, fibre, or infrastructure is a strong plus

What’s In It for You:

• R1.4m–R1.8m CTC salary + performance bonus
• Be part of a growth-focused, forward-thinking executive team
• High-level exposure to capital raising, strategic decisions, and investor relations
• A rare chance to shape financial strategy in a scale-up with real momentum
