Customer-focused Assistant Manager skilled in cash handling, inventory control, and office support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Assistant Manager at Astron Energy Mdantsane, focused on smooth store operations and customer satisfaction. I support the Store Manager with opening and closing procedures and handle customer complaints to resolve issues quickly.
I bring strong inventory and cash-handling experience, including stock control, ordering, regular stocktakes, and maintaining accurate records. I also assist with daily sales reports, cash handling, and payroll and HR-related tasks to keep operations running properly.
Previously at Capitec Bank, I worked as a Service Consultant where I promoted products and services, captured client information, and helped clients with problems by proactively explaining reasons for actions. I also determined clients’ maximum credit limits according to credit policy and handled acceptance of cash and cheques.
Earlier, I completed an Experiential Trainee role in Local Government Finance support, assisting with BAS virements, monitoring reports, commitments register tasks, and expenditure reporting in line with PFMA and treasury regulations. I enjoy organized, people-oriented work where my computer knowledge and planning skills can directly improve day-to-day performance.
