Our purpose in Sanlam Life & Savings (SLS) is aligned to that of the Group - empowering generations to be financially confident, secure and prosperous. There are four businesses in SLS, being Glacier, Sanlam Risk and Savings (SRS), Sanlam Corporate (SC), and Sanlam Retail Mass (SRM). Our focus on consolidating, optimising and expanding our data architecture and service models will require significant technology development. The creation of the new CIO (SLS) role stems from this reason. While SLS businesses will retain responsibility for their respective technology these functions will operate within the framework of a SLS-wide IT architecture and roadmap, as well as a SLS service model.

**Role Overview**

The incumbent of this role will collaborate with counterparts in each SLS business, as well as Sanlam FinTech (SFT) and Sanlam Group Technology (SGT) to design the SLS-wide technology architecture, aiming to achieve the objective of holistic client-centricity, and will also work with the SLS COO and CEOs of the various businesses to explore business solutions to IT problems.

- Ensure expert IT participation in all business decisions by having IT representation at the SLS Exco table.
- Ensure that specific functions or IT systems within each SLS business adhere to predefined guidelines, while also anticipating an increase in shared functions and systems.

**Qualifications**
- A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is usually required.
