Orchestrate innovation — integrate trusted datasets and analytics outputs directly into business processes for smarter, faster decisions.

You bring:

A Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field (Master’s preferred).
8+ years of experience in data, analytics, or technology within financial services, insurance, or telecommunications — with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
Proven mastery in Azure Synapse, SQL, metadata management, and enterprise data integration.
A strong understanding of South African data governance and compliance.
A record of building teams, shaping strategy, and delivering enterprise-scale analytics solutions.

What You’ll Influence

Your leadership will directly enable smarter decisions, operational efficiency, and innovation across risk, finance, actuarial, and compliance domains.
