Who are we?
Sanlam was established as a life insurance company in South Africa but has since transformed into a diversified financial services group that operates across the African continent, India, Malaysia and selected developed markets, with listings on the Johannesburg, A2X and Namibian Securities Stock exchanges. In 2018 the Group celebrated its centenary as well as 20 years since demutualisation and listing in South Africa and Namibia. Sanlam is one of the largest internationally active insurance groups in the world with a presence in 27 countries and has the biggest non-banking financial services footprint on the African continent.
The Group's four business clusters (Sanlam Life and Savings, Sanlam Investment Group, Sanlam Allianz and Santam) house the Group's business operations. The Group Office provides strategic direction and support to the four clusters, assisting them in realising their strategies and meeting their business objectives. The Group Office is responsible for governance and for the Group's centralised functions, which include: Group Tecnhnology, Finance, Actuarial, Risk and Balance Sheet Management, Strategy, Human Capital, Brand, Marketing and Corporate Affairs. The Group Office ensures cohesive management across the organisation.
This is a data analyst role in the Banking business unit. The retail transactional banking proposition, delivered in partnership with GoTyme, is Sanlam’s entry into retail banking for its large and diverse customer base. This role is central to how the Banking BU measures commercial success, understands P&L drivers, and makes evidence-based decisions about distribution, customer activation, and segment strategy. Your primary unit of analysis is the banking P&L and its drivers. You will start from financial outcomes and work backwards to explain them, connecting revenue performance to the customer behaviours and channel activities that caused it. Your analysis will inform the banking customer acquisition strategy, providing outcome based evidence on its efficiency.
Through your analysis and reporting, you will ensure we always know how the banking proposition and various products are performing and why, and that we can link that to what we know about our customer segments. This is not just a reporting role; it is a business partnering role, where the quality of your insight directly shapes how Sanlam successfully drives banking adoption within its customer base. Your ability to explore and interrogate data, generate impactful visualizations, and deliver data-driven stories will be key in shaping banking proposition success. You will be embedded in the banking BU, working in close collaboration with marketing insights team and the digital products and experiences insight team.
We’re all about building strong, lasting relationships with our employees. We know that you have hopes for your future – your career, your personal development and of achieving great things. We pride ourselves in helping our employees to realise their worth.
Through its five business clusters – Sanlam Fintech, Sanlam Life and Savings, Sanlam Investment Group, Sanlam Allianz, Santam, as well as MiWay and the Group Office – the group provides many opportunities for growth and development.
The shortlisting process will only start once the application due date has been reached. The time taken to complete this process will depend on how far you progress and the availability of managers.
