Regional Group Financial Manager

My client is a well-established player within the power and energy solutions sector, supporting operations across multiple African jurisdictions. As the business continues its continental growth journey, they are looking for a commercially astute finance professional to take ownership of the financial infrastructure behind that expansion.

This is not a traditional Financial Manager role focused solely on month-end reporting. You'll play a key role in establishing new African entities, implementing finance processes, managing cross-border reporting and ensuring financial governance across multiple countries. If you enjoy building rather than maintaining, this opportunity puts you at the centre of a growing African footprint.
