Job Description

Hello Future Origination Head!

Intengo Market is transforming the South African fixed income landscape by modernizing how debt instruments are issued, traded, settled, and managed throughout their lifecycle. We have built a fully digital ecosystem that
seamlessly connects issuers, investors, and intermediaries. Powered by our market leading workflow infrastructure, comprehensive lifecycle servicing, and advanced data intelligence, our platform enables
participants to operate with greater efficiency, precision, and insight.

Intengo is building workflow infrastructure for fixed-income markets across primary issuance, secondary trading, private credit, analytics, and lifecycle servicing. This role owns commercial origination and adoption across institutional investors and corporate issuers, with a strong bias for measurable pipeline discipline, repeatable selling motion, and workflow-led value articulation.
The mandate is execution: originate, close, expand, and build a small high-output team.

Are you someone who can:

Institutional Origination:

  • Grow usage across bonds, T-bills, money market instruments and unlisted loan trading.
  • Build multi-threaded relationships across trading, portfolio managers, credit, research and operations.

Corporate Origination:

  • Build issuer adoption for lifecycle debt servicing and workflow administration, including automated management reporting and bespoke servicing propositions.
  • Develop enterprise proposals and cross-product commercials.

Commercial Ownership:

  • Own revenue outcomes across enterprise tiers and module expansion, with clear pipeline, forecasting, and close discipline.

Product-Integrated Selling:

  • Sell workflows, not features, and translate client pain into a clean adoption path across Intengo’s ecosystem.

Stakeholder Engagement:

  • Engage external partners (banks, CSDPs, attorneys, facility agents) and work tightly with internal Product Strategy and Technology teams to keep roadmap grounded in client reality.

Leadership:

  • Line-manage and develop client-facing team members, setting targets, cadence, and standards.

You will be the ideal candidate if you have:

  • Minimum relevant degree
  • 7 to 10+ years in fixed-income markets, DCM, credit, fintech, institutional sales, or adjacent enterprise selling roles.
  • Strong fixed-income grounding across bonds, money market instruments, T-bills and private credit, with working understanding of settlement, book-overs, and lifecycle realities would be advantageous.
  • Track record selling high-value, multi-stakeholder solutions to asset managers and/or corporates, including complex sales cycles and enterprise commercials.
  • Comfort operating with measurable commercial rigour (targets, forecasting, conversion logic).

About FirstRand Corporate Centre

The FirstRand Corporate Centre houses many of the critical functions required by a large and complex financial services group. The Corporate Centre’s stakeholders are external, such as regulators, shareholders, global developmental institutions and government; and also internal, mainly the market-leading businesses that service the group’s customers. These critical functions cover risk, compliance, governance, internal audit, treasury, finance and tax amongst many others. They require deep specialist and technical skills and ultimately represent the custodianship of the FirstRand group’s licence to operate.

Employees of the Corporate Centre develop a very unique perspective of the group because nowhere else can you own or be part of a mandate that operates across the portfolio. This allows for both big picture thinking and operational learning. It is also a great place to drive collaboration and a place to have a significant impact.

The Corporate Centre has adopted a blended approach to working, with a focus on balancing remote working and connections with colleagues in the workplace. Face-to-face interactions remain important to its way of working as these connections protect the business’s social capital, which is key to ensuring that FirstRand’s unique culture stays alive and continues to thrive.
