  • Domain knowledge: Exposure to or genuine curiosity about financial services, credit, or alternative finance (PO funding, invoice discounting); familiarity with the SA SMME landscape and the role of fintech in unlocking access to capital.
  • AI & analytical fluency: Comfortable working with AI tools (e.g. Claude, Claude Code) and automation workflows to boost output quality and speed; strong Excel and data modelling skills; hypothesis-driven approach to problem solving.
  • Operational & AI-enabled productivity: Leverage AI tools and automation to drive output quality and efficiency across workstreams; identify and diagnose operational inefficiencies; develop business cases and implementation plans grounded in data.

Experience & Qualifications

  • Proven ability to build and deliver executive-level presentations; strong PowerPoint and data storytelling skills; exceptional written and verbal communication.
  • Confident engaging C-suite stakeholders; high integrity, bias to action, and comfort navigating ambiguity; genuine interest in SMMEs and financial inclusion in the South African market.

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.
