BI Data Analyst

Why join our team!

Joining our team offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of data, finance, and strategic decision-making in a high-impact environment. As a BI Data Analyst, you won’t be limited to a single product or system—you’ll gain exposure to a wide range of banking products and platforms across Personal, Private, and Commercial Banking, with exciting expansion into Corporate Investment Banking and Rest of Africa. This breadth of experience will give you a deep understanding of how the bank operates end-to-end, enhancing your professional growth and positioning you for broader data engineering and modelling responsibilities.

You’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive team that values shared success. While the role comes with high expectations—tight deadlines, complex reconciliations, and managing data from disparate sources—you’ll never be working in isolation. You’ll have access to experienced colleagues and cross-functional support to help you navigate challenges and deliver high-quality outputs.

This is a fast-paced, high-pressure environment ideal for someone who thrives on solving meaningful problems and driving efficiency. You’ll be empowered to automate processes, improve data quality, and contribute to strategic projects that expand the bank’s data capabilities across clusters and geographies. If you're passionate about data, eager to make a real impact, and looking for a role that offers both challenge and opportunity, this is the team for you.
