The posting

Job title: Investment Analyst Location: Cape Town (hybrid, 2–3 days a week in the office) Employment type: Full-time, permanent Department: Investments

About the company Our client is a founder-led international investment firm that backs early- and growth-stage companies. It is headquartered in London and is opening a Cape Town office. The team is small, senior and fast-moving, and the founder works closely with everyone who joins.

About the role This is a first step into investing. You will work directly with the founder, starting as a generalist, and over two to three years you’ll be trained into a full investing role. Your responsibility will grow as you prove yourself.

What you’ll do

  • Find and track companies, follow funding rounds, map sectors and flag opportunities early
  • Speak to founders and write first-pass assessments of the business, its market and its competitors
  • Analyse financials, build models and write short investment notes that take a clear view
  • Keep the pipeline up to date and prepare briefing notes before meetings and trips
  • Use data, AI tools and automation to make research and screening faster and more thorough

Requirements

What we’re looking for

  • A newly qualified CA(SA), ideally trained at a Big 4 firm, or someone finishing articles at the end of 2026. Recently qualified actuaries are equally welcome.
  • Strong academics throughout, including matric and university results, and first-time passes in professional exams
  • Evidence of sustained excellence outside the classroom: leadership roles (head student, captain, society or committee) and a standout achievement such as provincial or national sport, music or similar
  • Someone who has made the most of the opportunities they were given
  • Strong data skills and comfort with large datasets and modelling, combined with the people skills to build relationships with founders and hold your own with senior investors
  • Hungry, curious, fast, exact and self-directed
  • Coding ability (Python or similar) is a plus, not a requirement
  • Based in Cape Town with the right to work in South Africa. The role involves some short-notice travel, so dual nationality is an advantage.

Benefits

What’s on offer

  • Training directly under an experienced founder and investor
  • A competitive package of base salary, performance bonus and long-term incentive
  • A January 2027 start, with flexibility for candidates waiting on articles or APC results
  • A hybrid working arrangement in a new Cape Town office

How to apply Apply with your CV, and include your matric, university and professional exam results, leadership roles, interests outside work, nationality, current package and notice period. Shortlisted candidates will go through three stages: a fit and motivation interview, a case study, and a culture interview with the team.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
