Credit Controller

An opportunity has arisen for a Credit Controller in Stellenbosch. Suitably qualified candidates from across Western Cape are invited to apply.

About the Opportunity

This Credit Controller role sits within the finance jobs function in Stellenbosch. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Western Cape.

Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the finance jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Stellenbosch much easier.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Stellenbosch teams, and the new Credit Controller will feel that from the first week.

The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Stellenbosch also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Diverse teams build stronger workplaces. Applications are welcome from candidates of every background, language and community across Western Cape, and recruitment is fair, transparent and aligned with the EE Act.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Western Cape.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Stellenbosch.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Your Team

Importantly, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Stellenbosch office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Western Cape operations get busy.

Notably, the team mix in Stellenbosch reflects a balance of experienced operators and emerging talent, with deliberate space for diverse voices and backgrounds.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

The Environment

Importantly, the environment is structured and deadline-driven, with peaks around month-end, year-end and audit cycles. The wider team is collaborative, but focused work is the norm.

A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Western Cape. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.

Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Stellenbosch site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.

Notably, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Based in Stellenbosch

Working in Stellenbosch means a place on the N2 corridor toward the Cape Winelands, with a steady flow of activity and a strong local economy. The team has built solid relationships across the Western Cape region, and the Stellenbosch office benefits from those long-standing connections.

If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Stellenbosch, Western Cape.

Many candidates already living within reach of Stellenbosch cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Western Cape economy.

Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Stellenbosch.

Your Future Here

Equally, this role can grow with you. Strong performers in the finance jobs team in Stellenbosch have moved into senior, supervisory and specialist positions, and that journey is supported through coaching, training and exposure to bigger projects.

Internal mobility is encouraged. People who start in Stellenbosch have moved into roles in other branches, specialist functions and project teams across Western Cape.

Growth conversations happen at a regular cadence — not just at year-end — so the path forward stays current and realistic for every Stellenbosch team member.

What Your Day Looks Like

Most days begin by working through your inbox, prioritising urgent supplier or audit queries before settling into the books. You move between reconciliations, journal entries and review meetings, breaking out spreadsheets when something doesn’t tie up. Mid-morning calls with operations or sales help you understand the numbers behind the numbers, and the afternoon is usually given to deeper work: management reports, tax submissions or supporting a junior with a tricky reconciliation. By the time you log off, you have nudged the business closer to a clean month-end.

Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.

Equally, the Stellenbosch office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Stellenbosch.
