Lead: Internal Auditor_ Pipeline

We're building a talent pipeline for future opportunities in our Internal Audit team, and we want to hear from people who are ready when the right role opens up. 

We need a Lead Internal Auditor who does more than check compliance. This role exists because we believe independent, sharp-eyed audit work makes us a better, stronger bank for our people and for the millions of South Africans who trust us with their money. If you see risk before it becomes a problem, and you know how to turn complex findings into clear actions, keep reading.

Our Internal Audit function works directly with senior leadership across the business. We cover a wide range of areas from financial reporting and governance to operations and compliance.  

Our work influences decisions at the highest level, and our findings get acted on. We don't audit to tick boxes. We audit to make the business better.

You'll work on areas that are material to Capitec and to the people who depend on it. You'll have direct access to leadership, real exposure to complex risk and control environments and the space to build expertise across disciplines — from data analytics to technology enabled controls commercial law, financial reporting and beyond.
