Credit Operations Analyst
Location: Century City, Cape Town (hybrid)
Salary: Market related
If portfolio signals shift, then your judgement turns early warnings into stronger investment decisions.
Is this you?
Precision matters to you, especially when deadlines, financial detail and portfolio risk intersect. You are self-starting yet responsive to instruction, communicate clearly and take ownership of orderly processes. A small, busy investment environment suits your practical judgement and instinct to improve how work gets done.What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
Keeping the portfolio moving smoothly means preparing and securing authorisation for disbursements, reconciling interest income, issuing invoices and following up short or late payments. You will monitor performance, repayments, covenants and security, maintain orderly cloud-based client records, flag emerging risks, support renewals and occasional remote operational due diligence, and contribute to special projects and compliance.Where you’ll be doing it
Within a regulated impact investment manager, the Operations team sits close to investment decision-making. The business provides working capital finance through local financial institutions in emerging and underserved markets, combining disciplined credit underwriting, robust security structures and active portfolio monitoring to strengthen access to finance for growing smaller enterprises. You’ll be based in small professional offices in Century City with the option to work hybrid after your probation period.What you’ll need
A degree in Finance, Accounting or Economics is essential, together with strong English communication, sound financial statement knowledge and proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint. You will need an understanding of asset-backed lending and an interest in impact investing. Operations or credit analysis experience and asset-based lending exposure would be advantageous. Only candidates currently residing in Cape Town can be considered.What you’ll get
Direct exposure to the Chief Investment Officer and wider Investment team gives you a close view of private credit portfolio management. The scope spans operations, credit monitoring, security review, compliance and due diligence, with room to use initiative and strengthen processes while supporting finance in underserved markets.How to apply
