About This Role
This is a ground-floor finance role at a manufacturer that is still ramping up to full operations, which makes it different from cashiering at an established company. Much of the early work will involve setting up cash handling routines, working with a small finance team, and supporting a plant that is not yet running at full capacity. It suits someone early in their finance career who is comfortable with a hands-on, build-as-you-go environment rather than a fully structured corporate finance department.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The junior-level framing with a few years of experience tells you they want someone who has already handled real cash — not just theory from a classroom — but who is still willing to follow established approval chains without pushing back. Because the facility is new, the employer likely needs a person who can work with limited supervision and adapt as financial processes take shape. The accounting and finance classification suggests this sits within a broader finance function, so expect to interact with senior finance staff, not operate in isolation.
How to Approach This Application
Emphasize any direct experience you have with cash disbursement, cheque handling, and bank withdrawals — these are the daily tasks the employer cares about most. Since DEDE is preparing for full-scale operations, show that you can be reliable in a changing environment: mention situations where you maintained accurate records or handled cash under pressure. If you have worked in manufacturing, construction, or any project-phase business, that context is worth highlighting because it mirrors their current stage.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for a detail-oriented junior finance professional based in or willing to relocate to Debre Birhan, who wants to grow with a new manufacturer. Competition is likely moderate — the location outside Addis Ababa may narrow the applicant pool, which could work in your favor if you are locally available or open to moving.
