This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining technical expertise with financial processes to create seamless, reliable, and user-friendly systems that support business operations.

Working closely with Finance, Information Technology, Compliance, and operational teams, you will ensure the accurate and efficient submission of claims, invoices, statements, and other critical financial transactions. You will act as a trusted support partner to the broader Accounts Receivable team, helping to resolve system-related challenges, improve processes, and identify opportunities to enhance efficiency.

This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a high-performing environment where collaboration, continuous improvement, and professional growth are valued. Through your support, guidance, and technical knowledge, you will help create positive experiences for stakeholders while enabling teams to perform at their best

Job Requirements

Qualification Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will have completed Grade 12 with Mathematics as a subject, providing a strong foundation for working within a financial and systems-focused environment.

A three-year Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Finance, or Accounting will be advantageous, as it will support your ability to bridge technical systems with financial processes. Additional certifications in areas such as ITIL, POPIA compliance, ERP systems, or financial software platforms will be beneficial and will demonstrate your commitment to professional development and industry best practice.

Training or exposure to data privacy requirements and compliance frameworks, particularly POPIA and financial regulatory environments, will further strengthen your ability to support secure and responsible system administration.

You will bring between two and three years' experience within an Accounts Receivable environment, supported by practical exposure to Meditech or a similar application. Your experience will reflect an understanding of how financial systems support operational excellence, customer service, and effective revenue processes.

You will have worked with batch processing and monitoring environments and will be comfortable maintaining and supporting both live and test systems. Experience in system administration, software implementation, upgrades, troubleshooting, and system maintenance will enable you to confidently support users while minimising operational disruption.

We are looking for someone who has contributed to process improvement initiatives and explored opportunities to automate routine activities, including electronic communication solutions such as SMS and email-based processes. Exposure to software testing, solution monitoring, incident management, and problem resolution practices will allow you to proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact service delivery.

Experience documenting system changes, configurations, and updates for governance, audit, and compliance purposes will be highly valued. In addition, familiarity with real-time and batch-based financial processing environments, together with an understanding of data privacy requirements and regulatory obligations, will support your success in this role.

Skill Requirements

Success in this position requires a blend of technical capability, analytical thinking, customer focus, and strong interpersonal skills. You will be comfortable using technology to support operational effectiveness, with advanced Microsoft Excel skills and a sound understanding of Accounts Receivable systems. Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and collaborative platforms such as OneDrive and ShareDrive will assist you in managing information, communication, and teamwork efficiently.

You are a clear and confident communicator who can engage professionally with colleagues, leaders, service providers, and stakeholders at all levels. Whether responding to queries, drafting reports, documenting processes, or providing system guidance, you communicate information in a way that is clear, practical, and easy to understand.

Your analytical mindset enables you to interpret information, identify trends, investigate issues, and recommend meaningful solutions. You are naturally curious and enjoy understanding how systems and processes work, while your attention to detail helps you identify inconsistencies, reduce risk, and maintain high standards of accuracy.

You have the ability to support and guide users by explaining systems and processes in a simple and approachable manner. Developing training materials, sharing knowledge, and helping colleagues build confidence in systems and technology comes naturally to you.

Strong financial acumen and numerical reasoning skills are essential, particularly in performing complex calculations and reconciliations. Equally important is your commitment to customer service. You understand the importance of listening carefully, responding with empathy, and providing solutions that strengthen relationships and build trust.

As a collaborative team member, you work effectively with others, contribute positively to discussions, and build productive working relationships across departments. You demonstrate professionalism, integrity, and discretion when working with confidential information and remain organised and composed in a fast-paced environment. Your self-motivation, adaptability, and commitment to continuous learning allow you to embrace change and contribute positively to both team and organisational success.

Role Impact

The Accounts Receivable Systems Software Officer plays an important role in strengthening the connection between technology, finance, and service excellence. Through the effective maintenance and optimisation of Accounts Receivable systems, you help ensure that critical business processes operate smoothly, accurately, and reliably.

By partnering with Finance, Information Technology, and Compliance teams, you contribute to a culture where people are empowered to perform effectively and confidently. Your ability to support system users, resolve challenges, and identify opportunities for improvement helps create an environment where continuous learning, collaboration, and innovation can thrive.

Your expertise contributes to efficient operations, improved user experiences, and sustainable process enhancements that support future organisational needs.
