Dialler Optimisations Specialist

• Fully office-based, Pinelands (Cape Town)

• May be required to work shifts and/or weekends based on operational requirements.

Are you someone who gets a buzz from digging into data, spotting opportunities, and making things run better than before? If you thrive in fast-moving environments and love being the person who figures out how to optimise the way things work, this one's for you. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join a newly formed team inside South Africa's largest firm of its kind. You won't walk into an established setup with everything figured out you'll help shape how this function looks and operates. Real ownership, real impact, and the chance to leave your mark early. 

The Dialler Optimisations Specialist sits at the intelligence layer of our Dialler Team, identifying opportunities before they're missed, investigating root causes, and driving meaningful improvements. 

This isn't a data analyst role. It's a performance-focused, hands-on position for someone energetic, curious, and passionate about continuous improvement. If challenges excite you and you bring energy to everything you do, we'd love to hear from you.
