Job Description
Our client is searching for a Snr. Investment Officer to join their team in Pretoria.
This is not a back-office bean counter role. The Snr Investment Officer we need is a financially sharp dealmaker who doesnt freeze when its time to pick up the phone, pitch a proposal, or walk into a room full of strangers to close a deal.
Yes, youll need strong financial modelling and analysis skills, but just as important is your ability to hunt for opportunities, market yourself and the business, build networks from scratch, and follow through until deals are signed. If you get energised by targets, negotiations, and the chase, you will thrive here.
You will present to clients, negotiate terms, and build long-term relationships while juggling financial risk assessment and portfolio monitoring. You need to be results-driven, fearless in your approach, persistent in follow-up, and professional in building trust with clients.
In short, we are looking for a financially savvy hustler with strong commercial instincts, persuasive energy, and the backbone to drive deals through from origination to closure.
If your idea of a great day is combining spreadsheet analysis with client coffees that lead to signed agreements, and you are hungry to grow your network and deal pipeline, this role is for you.

- Conducting market research to identify potential clients and strategic partnerships for the organisation.
