Pillango Placements

Job Ref:

PTA003834/RC

Date posted:

Tuesday, August 4, 2026

Location:

Work from Home, South Africa

SUMMARY:
A new digital bank is moving from design into operational readiness and needs an experienced controls professional to support its internal control framework.

POSITION INFO:
This is a hands-on functional consulting role rather than a general business analyst position. You will turn control guidance into practical documentation that Finance, Risk, Technology, Data and Operations teams can use. The role is fully remote, with possible travel to Cairo for one week every two to three months. Duties \/ Key Responsibilities Develop and maintain process narratives, control documentation and risk and control matrices. Document control objectives, owners, frequencies, evidence requirements and system dependencies. Review banking and finance processes to identify financial reporting, operational and compliance risks. Highlight missing, duplicated or unclear controls and track actions through to resolution. Support control ownership discussions across Finance, Risk, Technology, Data and Operations. Align business controls with IT, data, reporting and automated-control dependencies. Assist with control-readiness reviews before launch and during early operations. Cover processes such as onboarding, payments, deposits, cards, treasury, procurement, reconciliations, month-end close and regulatory reporting. Produce practical control documentation that supports auditability without creating unnecessary red tape. Requirements Practical experience in internal audit, external audit, ICFR, SOX, financial controls, IT audit or control assurance. Strong working knowledge of RACMs, control testing, process controls and evidence requirements. Exposure to ITGCs, access controls, change management, interfaces, automated controls or data-quality controls. Experience in banking, financial services or another regulated environment is preferred. Exposure to enterprise finance systems, digital platforms or technology-enabled finance processes would be useful. Familiarity with COSO is important; knowledge of COBIT or data-governance frameworks would be beneficial. Able to work with limited supervision and produce clear, usable documentation. This role is not suited to a general BA with no meaningful audit or controls background. Education BCom degree with strong Accounting and IT Audit exposure. CA(SA), ACCA, CPA, CIA, CISA or an equivalent professional qualification would be advantageous. Soft Skills Clear and practical communicator. Comfortable working with incomplete information and changing processes. Confident asking challenging control questions. Able to influence busy delivery teams without becoming the \"controls police\". Organised, detail-focused and willing to escalate unresolved risks or ownership gaps. Salary The salary is market related based on qualifications, skills, and experience. The proposed salary range is R65,000 - R100,000 per month.
