Job Context & Financial Regulatory Environment

In the modern South African corporate ecosystem, maintaining a rigid, bulletproof compliance posture is an absolute operational necessity. Corporate groups face a continuous stream of shifting legislative frameworks, spanning from financial data processing standards to national treasury mandates and strict supply chain vetting laws. The HO Finance division manages a multi-layered commercial portfolio, meaning that any failure in oversight, unmonitored transactional risk, or misaligned control mechanism can lead to significant financial exposure, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.

The Compliance Manager serves as the primary organizational architect for corporate risk mitigation and legal assurance. This is an advanced leadership role that requires an analytical expert who looks past basic regulatory checklists to design active monitoring systems. Based at the Brackenfell corporate headquarters, the manager will lead control self-assessments (CSAs), administer financial signatory protocols within the corporate Treasury Framework, and ensure that every commercial vendor entering the system undergoes rigid vetting. By embedding accountability deeply into daily operational processes, you will actively protect corporate assets and foster a strong culture of ethical conduct across the national workforce.

Strategic Governance Mandate: As a central point of contact for external auditors, financial institutions, and statutory regulators, the incoming manager must show a high level of personal authority and professional ethics. This position requires an expert who can communicate complex legal rules into actionable, practical business processes for corporate executives and operational teams alike.

• Monitor changing regulatory environments proactively, issuing early impact assessments and advisory briefs regarding imminent compliance adjustments.

• Maintain a direct line of escalation to senior executives, highlighting material compliance threats, control gaps, or regulatory breaches immediately with concrete remediation plans.

3. Control Self-Assessments & Institutional Reviews

• Design, manage, and audit Control Self-Assessments (CSAs) and formal compliance declarations across regional branches and administrative divisions.

• Maintain continuous, data-driven monitoring of workforce adherence to company policies, internal control margins, and statutory frameworks.

• Conduct targeted internal compliance reviews and comprehensive field audits to test control effectiveness and expose hidden vulnerabilities.

• Compile and deliver highly scannable, audit-ready compliance performance reports to senior management, the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee.

4. Treasury Compliance & Supplier Onboarding Governance

• Establish and run an airtight, risk-mitigated supplier onboarding framework, ensuring all commercial vendors are properly vetted, verified, and screened before contract finalization.
