A solid understanding of how enterprise systems function, including databases, performance tuning, and systems integration
Experience with data extraction, reporting, or visualisation tools
The ability to turn technical findings into structured outputs that drive decisions
Comfort working across technical and non-technical teams, and a proactive, detail-driven mindset

Experience and qualifications required:

A degree (NQF 7) in computer science, information systems or a related field and 18+ months experience as a System Operations Analyst, or similar; OR
A relevant diploma (NQF 6) and at least 4 years’ experience as a System Operations Analyst, or similar; OR
