The City of Joburg Property Company SOC Ltd (JPC), the entity responsible for enhancing the City of Johannesburg’s extensive property portfolio, has readvertised the strategic position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This executive vacancy is crucial to the entity’s mission of leveraging property assets and employee expertise to achieve the City’s broader strategic priorities and service delivery objectives. The successful candidate will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and command a highly competitive minimum annual all-inclusive remuneration package of R2,148,405.00.
The core mandate of the incoming CFO will be to develop and rigorously implement the financial sustainability strategy, policies, and guidelines for both the JPC and the wider City administration. This involves ensuring the overall optimisation of the JPC Financial Services management value chain, which requires effective strategic planning, directional leadership, and alignment of functional management frameworks across all JPC departments. Essentially, the role requires a professional capable of delivering sound, complete, and accurate financial management strictly in accordance with relevant regulatory prescripts. The ultimate goal is to finance the strategic objectives of the JPC to achieve sustainable financial health, accelerate capital investment, and improve service delivery outputs.
The minimum professional and academic requirements for this position are stringent, reflecting the financial complexity and oversight required. Applicants must possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics, or an equivalent NQF Level 7 qualification with 360 credits as recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). Critically, candidates must also hold a Professional Certification as a Chartered Accountant with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) or possess a Professional Registration with a recognised Auditing Professional Institute. Additional qualifications, such as a Property Development Programme certificate and relevant experience in Property Management, will be considered advantageous, given JPC’s specialised focus. Furthermore, compliance with National Treasury minimum standards requires the successful completion of a Municipal Executive Financial Management certificate.
In terms of experience, the JPC requires a seasoned finance professional with a minimum of ten years’ relevant financial expertise. Crucially, at least five of these years must have been spent at a senior management level within a finance department, with demonstrable exposure to internal and external audit planning. Candidates must have prior direct reporting experience to a Chief Financial Officer or an equivalent executive role. Knowledge and experience in Public Sector Audit processes are mandatory, while expertise in Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and Public Sector Supply Chain processes will provide a distinct advantage. This highlights the JPC’s need for a leader who can manage complex public finance requirements while attracting and managing private sector capital for development projects.
The deadline for interested applicants to submit their applications online is 14 December 2025. The JPC has clearly stipulated that only online applications will be considered. The organisation reserves the right to withhold making an appointment or to headhunt a more suitable candidate should the need arise. Applicants who have previously applied for the position are explicitly encouraged to re-apply.
