Revenue & Banking Operations Manager to join our
Head Office in
Cape Town.

We are a young, dynamic, hyper-growth company looking for smart, creative, hardworking people with integrity to join us. We offer a market-related, Total Remuneration Package which allows full flexibility according to your needs, a great work environment and a promise that you won’t be bored as long as you are prepared for a challenge and want to build something great.

This position reports to:
Head of Finance:
General

Purpose of the role:

processes millions of transactions across multiple payment methods every month. Behind that scale sits a critical finance function that ensures every rand is accounted for, every payment method is reconciled, and cash is optimised at all times.

This is not a traditional accounting role. We're looking for a senior finance operator — someone with strong financial acumen and a builder's mindset. You'll own the end-to-end revenue accounting and cash management function for  designing and running reconciliation processes across payment methods, owning our banking relationships and cash position, and ensuring zero leakage in a high-volume, non-integrated systems environment.

• Identify opportunities for treasury optimisation — float management, intercompany funding, interest income, and bank fee reduction
• Liaise with the group treasury function on funding requirements, intercompany loans, and FX exposure where applicable
• Monitor and manage bank charges; ensure Takealot is on optimal fee structures relative to transaction volumes

Finance Operations Partnership & Customer Query Resolution

• Work closely with the Finance Operations teams to resolve payment-related customer and seller queries — including failed payments, unallocated receipts, duplicate charges, refund discrepancies, and settlement disputes
• Act as the finance escalation point for complex or unresolved payment queries that require GL-level investigation or bank intervention
