A Senior, GM role is available at a Durban-based entity, part of a JSE listed group. The role requires the expertise of a well-seasoned GM to walk in and hit the ground running. I am looking for a relationship-builder, a strong leader and exceptional business grower. Your main focus would be to expand market-share and reach KPA’s within a very competitive, but rewarding market, and therefore, I will be looking at CV’s of candidates that can display previous evidence of having taken a business and growing it. Included in this juicy role, is the matter of managing 6 direct as well as 52 indirect reports, forming relationships with municipalities and other major role players in the industry, performing regular site visits in order to maintain a hands-on approach to the business, running MANCO meetings on a weekly basis and reporting to the COO on a monthly basis. You will also have the responsibility of ensuring the business is aligned with strategy, compliance, legislative rules and regulations and keeping an eye on all HR of the business. This position asks a lot, but it gives a lot, too: you will be looked after in terms of incentives based on performance, benefits and a healthy, secure working environment where growth is possible within the group.

Job Description:

A strategic thinker with vision, drive and someone who commands respect, are qualities that will be assessed for this role.
