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.
