Who are we?

Sanlam is a leading financial services group, recognized for our innovative approach towards providing comprehensive insurance, investment, health, and credit solutions to millions of clients across Africa.

And we’re hiring top talent from around the world to make it happen.

Position Overview

As a data analyst your work is a canvas for change, painted with the data you explore and the insights you uncover. You\'re not just joining a team; you\'re embarking on a mission to reshape the financial landscape for all Africans, making tomorrow not just different, but better. Turning data into pathways, obstacles into stepping stones, and potential into reality. Together, we can build lasting financial confidence across Africa, one insight at a time.

About the role

This is a data analyst role focusing on acquiring as many quality clients as possible through performance and brand marketing, in the most cost-efficient way possible.

Your ability to explore and interrogate data, generate impactful visualizations, and deliver data driven stories will be key in shaping the success of our digital growth initiatives.

What you\'ll achieve in the first 12 months

• We have a full-funnel view of client acquisition journey : Collaborate with cross-functional teams to build a comprehensive picture of the client acquisition journey. Transform raw data into clear visual dashboards and reports that highlight key performance metrics.
• We produce high quality insights which are used to improve the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns : Evaluate the effectiveness of digital marketing efforts and user interactions with our products.
