You're the kind of person who thrives on accuracy, structure and getting things right the first time. Organised and dependable, you enjoy managing multiple moving parts while keeping communication clear and professional. You're empathetic when dealing with people, yet confident enough to follow up, resolve queries and keep processes moving. Detail matters to you, and you take pride in delivering work of a consistently high standard.
You'll support the administration of deceased estates from reporting through to finalisation, working closely with heirs, institutions and the Master's Office. From preparing statutory documents and maintaining accurate records to liaising with banks, tax practitioners and beneficiaries, you'll play a key role in ensuring each matter progresses smoothly. You'll enjoy this role because it combines meaningful client interaction with structured administrative work, giving you the opportunity to build strong fiduciary experience in a highly professional environment.
You'll join a respected financial and fiduciary services business known for its professional standards, collaborative culture and client-centric approach. The environment is structured yet supportive, offering exposure to experienced professionals who value integrity, accuracy and long-term development within the industry. You'll be based in professional offices in Claremont, Cape Town.
A relevant qualification in Estate Administration or progress towards a legal degree will be advantageous, along with 1-3 years' experience within estate administration gained in a fiduciary environment. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and confidence using MS Office and online systems are essential. A proactive attitude and the ability to manage sensitive matters professionally will set you apart. Only candidates living in the southern suburbs can be considered as you will need to travel to Claremont daily.
In return, you'll receive a market-related package, provident fund benefits with risk cover and savings components. More importantly, you'll gain valuable exposure within a highly respected fiduciary environment where your career can grow.
