Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa Calibrate People Full time R1 200 000 - R2 400 000 per year


Manager:  Banking, Risk & Analytics Transformation

Sandton, JHB | Salary: Competitive (Because you're worth it)

Industry:
Banking & Big 4 Consulting expertise required

You've done the hard yards. Now it's time to lead the charge.

We're looking for a sharp-thinking, solutions-driven Senior Consultant / Manager who knows their Basel from their BI. This is your chance to step into a leadership role within a powerhouse financial services environment, think banking, insurance, compliance, digital transformation, and everything in between.

What you'll be owning (and absolutely crushing):

  • Lead the charge on high-impact consulting projects from kickoff to delivery.
  • Roll up your sleeves to solve complex, industry-specific problems.
  • Be the mentor you wish you had: guide, support and uplift junior team members.
  • Keep clients coming back for more spot opportunities, build relationships.
  • Get your hands dirty with business and data analysis.
  • Design dashboards that make data sing (and regulators happy).
  • Speak fluent SQL, Python, SAS or at least be confident reading and writing the code.
  • Comfortable navigating the tech jungle? Were after experience with Power Apps, BI tools that tell the full story, and SAP S/4HANA or SAP BW because transformation doesn't happen on spreadsheets alone.
  • Dive deep into financial systems, risk models, and compliance processes.
  • Stay hungry: constantly build your knowledge in everything from AI to risk.

The must-haves:

  • A relevant degree (bonus points for a postgrad).
  • 3.5+ years' experience in banking, insurance or consulting (Big 4 types, we see you).
  • Subject matter expertise in financial services (risk, compliance, capital markets, global markets, market risk & data - you know the drill).
  • Proven project delivery track record and leadership experience with sizeable teams.

The cherry on top:

  • Qualifications like CFA or FRM? You're already ahead of the pack.

Exposure to any of the below makes us swoon:

  • Risk, Regulation and Financial Transformation
  • Digital Transformation (yes, AI counts)
  • Markets & Trading Ops, Tech & Architecture delivery

Where you're headed:

This isn't just another role, it's a launchpad. Join a team that's redefining transformation in financial services, where your ideas matter and your growth is the game plan.

Ready to lead, inspire, and build better banks?
