2023 IT Business Analyst Graduate Programme at Electrum Payments – South Africa

Electrum is an exciting B2B tech company working with some of South Africa’s biggest household names. We love that the projects we work on touch the lives of millions of South Africans every day, making a real difference – whether that’s giving an aspiring businesswoman access to banking for the first time, or distributing government financial aid to thousands of students.

We hire the best of the best and we offer great opportunities for both personal growth and career progression. Best believe that in this role you will be joining a dynamic, highly skilled, results driven and delivery-focused team of developers and BAs.

A typical day on the job

• Cruise to work (or perhaps wake up early for a hike with some coworkers)
• Have some morning chats over some barista quality coffee
• Check in with your team: help out by doing some coaching but also and get some mentorship
• Meet with a customer to workshop their requirements
• Write up some technical solution documentation
• Grab lunch and catch up with the rest of the company in the rec room
• Squeeze in a game of table tennis
• Continue with the amazing solution proposal document
• Grab another coffee
• do some API analysis
• Maybe grab a drink with some team members after work

The Role:

• Working with the customer to understand and document requirements (requirements elicitation and specification)
• Working with technical leads to understand API integrations (message flows, error handling and field mappings)
• Create test pack to be executed by development team
• Verify test results and ensuring customer requirements are satisfied
• Communicate and collaborate with all internal and external stakeholders
• Writing traditional requirements documents for customers as well as user stories for dev teams

You will report directly to the head of Engineering and work closely with our customers and development teams. This role is a great opportunity for a Graduate Business Analyst to join a high-growth tech company, and grow with our business. You will have the opportunity to gain deep domain expertise in the rapidly developing payments industry and play a key role in mission-critical projects at some of South Africa’s largest corporates.

• A university honours degree in Engineering, Science or Bcom Information Systems.

We need your proven analytical skills here with the ability to work in high stakes (we’re working with other people’s money here!) and highly complex environments. The stuff we do has a material impact on the world and also therefore is high reward, but that also means it comes with high risk. You can’t always just learn it on the job. We need to know that you know what you’re doing.

• Excellent communication skills (written and verbal)
• 0 to 2 years experience in Business Analysis

Increase your odds

We’ll be growing you into someone that has the following skills which is why it’s beneficial to already have them:

• Masters degree or higher
• Business Analysis certification
• Experience in working with API specifications and integrations
• Payments experience

A good work-life balance is very important at Electrum. You know when your brain has switched off for the day and you need to go for a surf, but you also know when the document you have written is sloppy. At Electrum you will be expected to know when you deserve a surf and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done. For the more “knuckle down” days we make it worth your while with benefits such as:

• Company getaways
• Onsite gym and shower facilities
• Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the mid-day nibbles
• A rad coffee station where you can practice your cappuccino foam art
• Team socialising, hikes, getaways, and dinners
• Understanding that if an emergency comes up, family comes first
• A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year
• Flexible work hours
• A recreational area with foosball, table tennis and fatsaks that are perfect for naps

We have created a safe, transparent environment where:

• We know mistakes happen, and that’s okay. We even have a 3 step approach to dealing with them:
• Tell everyone about it
• Fix mistake
• Tell everyone about it
• You are responsible for your actions – both the successes and the failures
• We talk openly about salaries and bonuses. At Electrum we believe it’s evident why some people earn more and others a bit less. It’s like being on a sports team where salaries are widely known.
