Job description

We are looking for a seasoned project manager to lead and deliver high-impact projects across our organisation and client base. If you thrive in driving complex initiatives from concept to completion—and have experience in financial services—that’s a strong advantage!


About you:

You are a confident and capable project manager with 5+ years of hands-on experience delivering both IT and business projects. You hold a relevant degree in project management, business administration, computer science, business science, or engineering, and you’re fluent in methodologies like PMBOK, PRINCE2, Agile, Scrum, SAFe, and Kanban.

You’re not just a planner—you’re a strategic leader who can align stakeholders, manage risks, and deliver results. Your communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills are second to none, and you’re comfortable navigating ambiguity while keeping your team focused and motivated.


Key responsibilities:

Lead and manage the full project lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure.
Develop and maintain detailed project plans, budgets, and resource allocations.
Proactively identify and mitigate risks and issues to ensure smooth delivery.
Ensure all projects align with client methodologies and industry best practices.
Facilitate project meetings, maintain accurate documentation, and ensure deliverables meet quality, time, and budget expectations.


Who we are:

At IQbusiness, we’re more than consultants—we’re creative problem-solvers who help businesses grow and thrive. Whether it’s through research, implementation, or expert resourcing, we tackle challenges head-on and deliver measurable impact.

Our mission is simple: grow people. Grow business. Grow Africa.


What’s in it for you:

1. A flexible, people-first culture that values work-life balance.
2. Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
3. Offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town, with support for hybrid work—even during load shedding.
4. A diverse, collaborative environment where you’ll learn from top talent and grow your career.

How we recruit:

We keep it simple and transparent. Here’s what to expect:

• We review your CV to understand your background, skills, and passions.
• If there’s a match, you’ll meet one of our hiring managers to explore your fit.
• Next, you’ll complete an online assessment and meet more of our team.
• We’ll conduct background checks (credit, criminal, ID, qualifications).
• If all goes well, we’ll make you an offer—fast.

Ready to lead impactful projects and grow with us? Send us your resume and let’s get started.




Note: All roles at IQbusiness require background checks due to the nature of our work with financial and confidential information.

We are committed to transformation and diversity, and we actively seek to employ previously disadvantaged individuals.
