IT Auditor

About this role

Capitec is hiring a technical IT auditor for its Internal Audit team in Stellenbosch. The role focuses on auditing the bank’s growing technology and data environment, where risks are becoming more complex.

The team works with senior leadership and specialist tech teams across the business. Your audit work will help the bank manage risk at scale.

What you’ll do

• Find risks in technology and data systems. Turn your findings into clear, practical recommendations.
• Write draft audit reports and send them to the audit manager for review, following Internal Audit standards.
• Work with stakeholders across technology and data teams so that audit actions are delivered.
• Track agreed audit actions until they are fully implemented.
• Build project plans within the agreed scope and agree timelines with the audit manager.
• Keep up to date with new technology risks and use that knowledge in your audit planning and fieldwork.

What you need

• At least 3 years of IT internal audit experience.
• Experience designing, performing or helping to perform data analytics in audits.
• Significant exposure to cybersecurity, complex SDLC processes and cloud environments.
• Experience running full audit cycles, from planning to reporting, with little or no supervision.
• Good communication skills, including explaining findings to a wide range of stakeholders.
• A sound understanding of best practice frameworks and control environments.
• Good project management skills, including managing progress and budgets.
• A relevant tertiary qualification, preferably a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field.
• CISA (listed as a relevant qualification).
• Advantageous: CISSP and/or OSCP or CEH.
• A clear criminal and credit record (condition of employment).

Is this job for you?

This role suits an experienced IT auditor who enjoys technical, hands-on work. You should be comfortable working on your own and taking ownership of your audits from start to finish. Strong communication skills matter here, because you will share findings with many different teams.

Tips before you apply

• Have your CISA certificate, degree or other qualifications and a clear criminal and credit record ready to show.
• Describe specific audits you have led, especially those covering SDLC, cloud or cybersecurity, and state your role in each.
• Show your data analytics work with examples, such as the tools you used and the findings they produced.
