Control Risks is a specialist risk consultancy that helps to create secure, compliant and resilient organisations in an age of ever-changing risk.

Working across disciplines, technologies and geographies, everything we do is based on our belief that taking risks is essential to our clients' success.


We provide our clients with the insight to focus resources and ensure they are prepared to resolve the issues and crises that occur in any ambitious global organisation.

We go beyond problem-solving and give our clients the insight and intelligence they need to realise opportunities and grow.

From the boardroom to the remotest location, we have developed an unparalleled ability to bring order to chaos and reassurance to anxiety.

Control Risks is looking for an experienced analyst to cover Southern Africa.

The analyst will have a leading role in covering political, security and business-relevant issues in the SADC region and in client engagements on the region.

They will be part of a team focused on Sub-Saharan Africa within the Global Risk Analysis department, and will also work closely with other Southern Africa-focused colleagues, particularly those in our Johannesburg office.

Our analysts are country specialists with backgrounds in the political risk industry, business, academia, journalism, government and/or international organisations. Our analysis is delivered to clients through subscription products and in bespoke consulting engagements that showcase our expertise.

We commonly advise clients on topics such as threats to stability, election outcomes, levels of corruption, ESG risks, policymaking and regulatory dynamics in certain sectors.

This will include writing updates on trends and developments across the region in domestic politics, government policy, regulation, operational and security issues.
  • Work closely with other analysts covering Southern Africa. This will include challenging and accepting feedback on own analysis, and ensuring coherence with other analysts.
  • Collaborate with colleagues in other geographical regions on analysis of crosscutting panAfrican or global issues and trends where required (geopolitics, climate change, sustainability, technology, etc.).
  • Lead conversations with clients on their requirements for analysis of political, regulatory and operational risks in the region. Scope and write proposals for bespoke consulting engagements on the region.
  • Contribute to the development of compelling client deliverables and propose innovative ways to present facts and analysis to clients and assist in preparing the presentation of research in formats including PowerPoint.
