Senior Portfolio Manager, Randburg

We’re looking for a Senior Investment Portfolio Manager role within a privately held investment environment where discretion is taken just as seriously as financial performance. This is the kind of role where your week could involve reviewing development forecasts, assessing hospitality performance, evaluating acquisition opportunities, attending strategic shareholder discussions, and trying to explain to non‑finance stakeholders why “cash flow” and “profit” are not the same thing.Our client operates across a diversified South African investment portfolio spanning sectors such as real estate, hospitality, automotive, and property development. Translation: if you enjoy variety, complexity, and occasionally having to mentally switch industries faster than your laptop switches between Excel files, you’ll fit right in.The successful candidate will work closely with principal shareholders and senior stakeholders, taking ownership of portfolio reporting, investment analysis, financial modelling, governance and operational oversight across multiple entities. This is not a role for someone who enjoys staying comfortably in one finance lane. You’ll move between boardrooms, operational reviews, investment discussions, development planning sessions, and strategic financial analysis, often all within the same week, and occasionally before your second coffee.The environment requires a highly analytical, commercially sharp, and hands‑on CA(SA) who can confidently engage at executive level while still being willing to roll up their sleeves when a model breaks five minutes before a presentation.
