Our focus on consolidating, optimising and expanding our data architecture and service models will require significant technology development.

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.
