Why this role is different

You'll work at the heart of one of South Africa's most digitally active banking environments. The exposure here is real, complex systems, evolving security challenges and stakeholders who take audit findings seriously. We invest in your development, and there's room to grow. Technical experience is what drives this role, but we also support the development of skills that take time to build, it's a two-way commitment.

Our Internal Audit team

We sit at the intersection of technology, risk and governance. Our team works directly with senior leadership and specialist tech teams across the business, giving every member of the team genuine visibility and influence. This is an environment where the work we do shapes how the organisation manages risk at scale. We don't just report findings; we drive outcomes.

Lead: Internal Auditor

Lead the audits that keep us safe

Our technology and data environment is growing fast. So is the complexity of the risks within it. We're looking for a skilled technical lead auditor to join our Internal Audit team, someone who understands SDLC, cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity from the inside, and who can translate that knowledge into audits that genuinely make us stronger.

This is not a generalist role. We need deep technical expertise combined with the experience to operate independently at a mid to senior level.

What you'll do

• Assist the IT audit management in planning IT internal audits and, with little to no supervision, executing these to completion.
• Identify risks in our technology and data landscape and turn findings into clear, practical recommendations. Document a draft report and submit this to the audit manager for review, and follow Internal Audit standards in the process.
• Engage cross-functional stakeholders across tech and data teams to ensure audit outcomes are achieved.
• Monitor the implementation of agreed audit actions and track progress through to completion.
• Develop project plans as per agreed scope and agree timelines with audit manager.
• Stay current with emerging technology risks and apply that knowledge directly to audit planning and execution.

What we're looking for

• At least 3 years of IT internal audit experience, with experience in designingperforming and/or assisting in designingperforming data analytics
• Significant exposure to cybersecurity, complex SDLC processes, and cloud environments — this is the core of the role
• Experience conducting full audit cycles, from planning through to reporting, with little to no supervision
• Good communication skills and the ability to relay findings to a wide stakeholder base.
• Sound understanding of best practice frameworks and control environments
• Relevant qualifications such as:
• CISA, with CISSP and/or OCSP/CEH as advantageous
• A relevant tertiary qualification, preferably a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field
• A self-directed work style — you take ownership and see things through
• Good project management, including progress and budget management
