Since 2012, we have established ourselves as a respected payments technology partner through our deep expertise and track record in delivering trusted enterprise-grade payments solutions.
We’ve built a reputation in providing solutions for high-volume, low-value payment schemes and services that enable our clients to deliver to their customers at scale. We love that the projects we work on touch the lives of millions of South Africans daily, making a real difference.
We hire the best of the best and we offer great opportunities for both personal growth and career progression. Best believe that in this role you will be joining a dynamic, highly skilled, results driven and delivery-focused team of developers and BAs.

REQUIREMENTS

• A University degree in Engineering, Science or BCom Information Systems: We need your proven analytical skills here with the ability to work in high stakes (we’re working with other people’s money here!) and highly complex environments. The work we do has a material impact on the world and also therefore is high reward, but that also means it comes with high risk. You can’t always just learn it on the job. We need to know that you know what you’re doing.
• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal): The most important part of the role is being able to talk to our customers, and to accurately document requirements.
• 0 to 2 years experience in Business Analysis: This is a graduate position so no experience is required, but anyone with a little bit of experience is also welcome to apply.

OFFICE AND TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

• You may be required to travel to customers as part of this role (at the expense of the company).
• This is an office-based role.
• For the interviews, you must be available in-person at our Cape Town offices

• Working with the customer to understand and document requirements (requirements elicitation and specification)
• Working with technical leads to understand API integrations (message flows, error handling and field mappings)
• Create test pack to be executed by development team
• Verify test results and ensuring customer requirements are satisfied
• Communicate and collaborate with all internal and external stakeholders
• Writing traditional requirements documents for customers as well as user stories for dev teams
  You will report directly to the Engineering Team Lead and work closely with our customers and development teams. This role is a great opportunity for a Graduate Business Analyst to join a high-growth tech company, and grow with our business. You will have the opportunity to gain deep domain expertise in the rapidly developing payments industry and play a key role in mission-critical projects at some of South Africa’s largest corporates.
