Investec - Where Out of the Ordinary Happens

At Investec, we do things differently. We're a leading international bank and wealth manager built on a culture of curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit and human connection. Ideas are heard, ambition is celebrated, and impact is encouraged. As part of a team that challenges convention and strives for outperformance, you'll help shape bold solutions for clients who expect something more than the ordinary.

We're looking for a Technical Business Analyst to join our Credit Origination & Decisioning team, supporting the continued evolution of CAM, a strategic credit platform serving multiple business areas across the organisation.

This is an opportunity to play a key role within a modern, interconnected technology platform where business analysis goes far beyond requirements gathering. You will partner closely with business stakeholders, architects, engineers and QA teams to shape solutions, analyse complex data and integrations, and help deliver enhancements that improve business processes and customer outcomes. Working from discovery through to delivery and validation, you'll help ensure solutions are practical, scalable and aligned to Investec's cloud-first technology strategy.

We are looking for someone who is curious, pragmatic and collaborative. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy solving complex problems, take ownership of outcomes, build strong relationships across teams and are comfortable navigating ambiguity while helping drive technology change. Working within a close-knit UK and South Africa team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute beyond traditional business analysis activities and help shape the future of a strategically important credit platform

What will I be doing?

Partner with business stakeholders and technology teams to understand business challenges and translate them into clear, technically credible requirements and user stories.
Participate in discovery, refinement and solution design sessions, contributing both business context and technical insight.
Analyse end-to-end business processes, system interactions, integrations and dependencies across the wider credit platform.
Investigate data, validate requirements and support problem-solving activities using SQL and other analysis techniques.
Document data mappings, interface requirements, API behaviours, JSON structures and field-level relationships across systems.
Work closely with engineers and QA teams throughout delivery, ensuring requirements remain clear and aligned to intended business outcomes.
Support release readiness, post-implementation activities and production issue investigation as part of the team's shared support model.
Maintain delivery visibility through accurate Agile tooling, traceability and end-to-end lifecycle management.

What are we looking for?

What's Essential
