Job description

About you and the key skills we’re looking for.

You’re an experienced Business Analyst with 3–5 years in data, process, and business analysis, ideally within banking, insurance, or retail. You’re confident working independently, translating business needs into practical solutions, and engaging stakeholders effectively. You bring strong technical and business knowledge, with expertise in finance, HR, IT, CRM, and digital domains. You’re client-focused, proactive, and results-driven, with a solid grasp of Agile and Waterfall methodologies. Your background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Business Science, Finance, Engineering, or information systems and preferably a Business Analysis certification.

What you will be doing:

You’ll lead workshops, document requirements, and analyze data and processes to uncover insights. You’ll bridge the gap between business and technical teams, contribute to solution design, and support project delivery. Your role may also include managing risks, dependencies, and change initiatives, helping clients prepare for the future.

Who we are:

Our purpose is to grow people, grow business and grow Africa. At iqbusiness, we are creative, analytical people who never concede defeat. Beyond IT and technology, we apply innovative solutions to complex problems. We ensure that our clients grow, whether these challenges are overcome by utilising research from IQbusiness and our partners, distributing teams to build and implement solutions, or deploying point solutions to address a skills shortage. Whatever the challenges, we support them in overcoming them.

What’s in it for you:

At iqbusiness, we prioritise work-life balance and offer competitive salary packages with comprehensive employee benefits. Our offices are conveniently found in both Johannesburg and Cape Town, ensuring ease even during challenging times like load shedding. We foster a workplace culture that values flexibility and supports your personal needs. Moreover, our diverse talent pool provides many opportunities for growth and development through meaningful interactions with your colleagues. Join us and experience the best of both worlds: a fulfilling career and a fulfilling life outside of work.

How do we recruit?

At iqbusiness, we take a refreshingly straightforward approach to recruitment. We passionately believe that feedback is the backbone of improvement, so we avoid dragging out the process unnecessarily.

Here’s a sneak peek at the steps involved once you’ve sent us your resume:

• First, we’ll dive into your CV, delving into your background, interests, passions, and tech prowess. If you’re a shining star that aligns with our needs, congratulations! You’ll swiftly move on to step two.
• This stage involves meeting one of our charismatic hiring managers who will assess your skills and, just as importantly, your compatibility with our vibrant culture.
• If you appear victorious from this encounter, a thrilling challenge awaits you—an online assessment to prove your mettle. But wait, there’s more! You’ll also mingle with more of our extraordinary team members.
• Once these delightful encounters conclude, we get down to business with employment checks—references, credit history, criminal records, and even the rarefied world of fraud. Once you’ve successfully navigated these hurdles, voila!
• We eagerly extend to you an offer of employment, formalities having been dealt with promptly.

So, if you’re ready to embark on a whirlwind recruitment adventure, buckle up and send us that resume!

Note: As all iqbusiness roles require honesty in the handling of or access to cash, finances, financial systems, or confidential information, our recruitment process requires that the following background checks be completed: credit, criminal, ID, and qualification verification.
