About the Role
This is not a traditional finance role. As Revenue Management Specialist, you will work directly within the credit solutions division to build and grow the book, unlock new business opportunities, and develop relationships with clients and funders.
You will report to the Head of Department and work alongside a small, technically strong team. The mandate is commercial: find better ways to structure and deliver credit solutions, build pipelines, and contribute to real revenue growth.
If you're looking for a month-end reporting role - this isn't it. If you want to build something and be accountable for outcomes, read on.
What You'll Do
- Identify and develop new business opportunities within the credit solutions space
- Build and manage relationships with clients, suppliers, and credit customers
- Operate across the full cash and credit cycle - understanding how money moves, not just how it's reported
- Work with the team to structure and deliver credit solutions to new and existing clients
- Find smarter, faster ways to grow the revenue line
- Contribute to building out the business line with commercial discipline and entrepreneurial energy
What We're Looking For
- A finance or commerce background (CA(SA), CIMA, BCom or equivalent)
- Exposure to credit, lending, working capital, or fintech/payments environments
- A commercial mindset - energised by deals and outcomes, not reporting cycles
- Strong relationship-building ability with clients and stakeholders
- Comfort in operational finance - cash flow, reconciliations, transaction-level thinking
- Entrepreneurial instinct - you see opportunity and move toward it
- Experience in a lean, fast-moving environment where ownership is high
You're Probably Not the Right Fit If You:
- Want a defined FM role with a predictable month-end cycle
- Are looking to step back from commercial pressure
- Measure success purely by technical finance output
- Need a large team and established infrastructure from day one
