Junior Commercial Project Manager, Cape Town

Do you enjoy digging into numbers until they actually make sense, then turning that insight into a decision someone can act on? This role puts you right at the side of a CEO and senior leadership team, working across finance, operations, sales, marketing and commercial partnerships. You will not be filing paperwork or managing a diary, you will be tracking real money, running real projects, and shaping real recommendations from your first few months. It is a foundational role built to grow into commercial management or leadership as you prove yourself.

• Take ownership of selected cost and income items, tracking monthly performance against budget and prior periods
• Spot errors, unnecessary costs, missed savings and potential losses, and review supplier invoices and agreements
• Build and maintain Excel/Google Sheets reports, trackers and calculations
• Prepare regular management reports, validate departmental data and flag gaps, anomalies and trends
• Manage projects end to end: set actions, owners and deadlines, chase stakeholders, monitor risk and ensure proper handover
• Prepare and verify reporting for commercial partners, track payments and outstanding items, and support partner meetings
• Prepare analysis, presentations and business research for CEO meetings, and follow up meeting actions through to completion
