Operations & Executive Support - Cape Town

South Group Recycling

We're a fast-moving leadership team - four executive managers - and we need one sharp person to keep our operations running, make sense of our numbers, and make our days work. This isn't a "wait to be told" admin role. It's for someone who sees a mess and fixes it before anyone asks.

What You'll Do

  • Be our central coordination point for SA operations - keep visibility across what's happening, support specific tasks, chase what's stuck so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Make sense of our numbers - spot what's off, figure out why, propose the fix
  • Handle financial admin - invoicing, expense tracking, and supporting the finance team to keep the books clean and up to date
  • Research what we need and turn it into clear answers, using AI to go faster
  • Support the team directly - calendars, inboxes, some personal coordination (~20%)

You: a recent graduate or 1-3 years out - energetic, fluent with AI tools, comfortable with numbers, and someone who'd rather own a problem than wait for instructions. Professional English. Eligible to work in SA.

To apply - skip the cover letter, answer these three:

  • One thing you've owned end-to-end: what was broken, what you did, what changed.
  • One thing you've automated - with AI or any tool.
  • A time you read data or a messy situation, worked out what was really going on, and acted.

No answers, no read.
