Job Description

Cape Town

ROLE OVERVIEW

Let's be honest: Finance job specs all sound the same.


"Detail-oriented... driven... Excel..." blah blah blah.



Finance in e-commerce hits differently.

Our world moves quickly, our team is collaborative, and we love working with people who bring both precision and personality.



AP here isn't a sleepy, back-office, rubber-stamp job.

You will be:

The gatekeeper of clean financial flows The fixer when something doesn't balance The heartbeat connecting suppliers, finance, ops, and buying The person who everyone trusts because your work is gold-standard If you love order, accuracy, clear processes, and being relied on, you will thrive.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

You're the master of:

Processing invoices fast and flawlessly Matching POs, GRNs & invoices with forensic accuracy Managing the AP inbox so it never becomes a crime scene Reconciling supplier statements (you find errors others miss) Preparing weekly payment packs that are bulletproof Keeping suppliers updated, not chasing you Month-end support (clean AP listings, accruals, reports) Spotting risks, gaps, and process improvements

PERSONAL SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES

You'll fit right in if you are:

Extremely detail-driven (you see things others miss) Organised and systematic: colour-coded spreadsheets are your happy place Energised by fast-moving environments (retail, e-com, SMME, startup vibes) Comfortable working with tools, platforms, dashboards A clear communicator, suppliers and teammates love dealing with you Calm under pressure and reliable when things get busy Someone who takes pride in delivering clean, accurate work Positive and energetic personality: brings enthusiasm and a friendly attitude to the workplace. Honest and trustworthy: demonstrates integrity in all tasks and interactions. Hardworking and reliable: committed to meeting deadlines and delivering quality work. Eager to learn and grow: motivated to develop skills and advance professionally. Adaptable to change: flexible in dynamic and fast moving environments and open to new ways of working. Loyal and team-oriented: dedicated to supporting colleagues and contributing to long-term success.
