South Africa has one of the most developed insurance and financial services sectors in Africa, with many major insurers, banks and investment houses based in Johannesburg, Sandton and Cape Town. The industry offers careers for school leavers, graduates and experienced professionals alike. Typical roles include insurance consultants, claims assessors, underwriters, call centre agents, financial advisors, actuarial analysts, compliance officers, data scientists and relationship managers. Many sales and advice roles require RE5 accreditation and FAIS compliance, and some employers will help you obtain these. Strong numeracy, communication and customer service skills are valued across the sector. Tip: if you are new to the industry, look for learnerships or contact centre roles, which are a common way to get your foot in the door and grow your career.
