Job summary

Asuer is a people business, powered by fintech products and solutions across Southern Africa. You will work directly with the CEO on a range of business needs, from data analysis to process documentation, with ownership that grows as you contribute.

You’ll learn quickly by doing real work, often turning questions into actionable recommendations. You’ll pull numbers, collaborate with teams, build models, pilot ideas, and defend decisions in written, concise formats.

Qualifications

• 2 to 5 years of work experience or a graduate programme where you did more than rotate through it.
• Comfortable in a spreadsheet, including when the data is messy and incomplete.
• Something you started, ran or fixed that would not have happened without you.

Responsibilities

• Running projects for the CEO, from the first question through to the recommendation and the delivery.
• Researching markets, products and partners, and coming back with something we can act on.
• Building the analysis behind decisions: pricing, performance and business cases.
• Preparing material for ExCo, Board and investor meetings, and doing the thinking behind it.
• Chasing stalled work across Insure, Connect and Technology, with no authority to make anyone move.
• Running the CEO's diary, and setting up the meetings that go into it.
• Organising events, off-sites and team sessions, from the booking through to the day itself.
• Handling the admin that keeps the CEO's office moving.
• Writing down how things work, especially where the only version lives in somebody's head.
• Picking up the work that falls between roles, and doing it properly.
