Senior Consultant, Investment Reporting
Cape Town (Hybrid) · Reports to Lead Consultant, Investment Reporting
About Us:
Kurtosys builds the platform that some of the world's most prestigious asset and wealth managers trust with their sales, marketing, and client reporting. The problems we solve sit where data accuracy isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole job. We work at global scale, and we're looking for people who want to do the most ambitious work of their career here.
About the Role:
We're hiring a Senior Consultant into our Investment Reporting implementation team. You'll take client engagements from a first, often unclear business problem through to a live, automated reporting solution running on the Kurtosys platform, and you'll own that journey from end to end. As a Senior Consultant, you'll also review the work of your junior counterparts and take accountability for what you sign off.
In practice, you turn a loosely defined ask into a validated, well-shaped scope. You design and run discovery sessions, drawing clear requirements out of a room full of different stakeholders. You catch a flawed assumption or a risk early, and you bring options along with it, not just a flag. When a stakeholder conversation gets difficult, you're comfortable steering it back to alignment yourself.
You'll often be working with new client contexts and unfamiliar data. People who do well in this role approach that with curiosity, treating it as interesting rather than daunting. They aren't afraid to ask questions, and they adapt quickly as new information comes in.
What You'll Do:
- Own client engagements end to end. Lead discovery, shape ambiguous requirements into validated scope, and see delivery through across systems
- Manage senior client stakeholders directly. Align conflicting priorities and hold the line with diplomacy
- Be the first escalation point on your projects. Peer-review the work of your junior counterparts and take accountability for what you sign off
- Analyse and validate client datasets (CSV, XLSX, XML, JSON), write complex SQL, and configure RESTful API integrations for automated reporting
- Contribute to solution design. Challenge engineers, stress-test scalability, and shape how problems get solved
- Coach your junior counterparts through craft and review
- Spot inefficiency and fix it. A new template, a better process, a small automation. Whatever raises the bar
What You'll Bring:
- A minimum of 4 years' experience delivering end-to-end software or SaaS implementations
- Proficient SQL: complex queries, performance optimisation, data-model validation, troubleshooting
- Strong grasp of CSV/XML/JSON and how data actually moves through integration pipelines
- Comfortable with RESTful APIs: reading, testing, troubleshooting
- Fluent in Agile, full SDLC
- A consulting or solutions-delivery background
- Financial services exposure strongly preferred: asset management, wealth management, fund administration
What You'll Gain:
- Senior-band salary, matched to the strength of what you bring
- Some of the hardest reporting problems in the industry, with global asset managers who expect precision
- A leadership team that promotes from within where it can, and interviewers who calibrate against the same rubric they'll use to grow you
- The autonomy to own your engagements fully, and be trusted to run with them
- 20 days paid leave, group risk cover, and a genuine wellbeing programme
- Flexible hours, a relaxed office culture, and structured learning access
- Room to go deep, technically or into leadership, on your own trajectory
If this is the kind of work that excites you, and the kind of ownership you're ready for, we’d love to receive your application.
