A Business Systems Analyst is wanted in Johannesburg for a contract role with DCV Sabenza IT and Recruitment, sitting between the business and the systems that run an investments operation. Please note the short application window: at the time of listing, the advert carried an expiry window of only three days, so check the original advert for its current status before you apply. This is a distinct Johannesburg vacancy, separate from the Business Systems Analyst role in Centurion already listed on this site.
DCV Sabenza IT and Recruitment is a South African registered business focused on recruiting IT professionals, with work spanning finance, engineering, SAP and general IT recruitment. The advert describes more than 18 years of recruiting experience across South Africa, Australia, Europe, South America and Asia. The role is about turning messy processes into solutions that actually get delivered: the analyst runs workshops, writes requirements, shapes the design, and stays through testing and go-live. AI and automation are part of the job, not an afterthought. The full advertised title is Business Systems Analyst at Sabenza IT & Recruitment, and the advert carries reference 878000024765214.
The analyst will break down processes, data flows and operational pain, then turn them into functional requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria and process maps. The role includes designing the solution with architects and developers, and checking what was built against what the business asked for. The analyst will spot where AI, automation and analytics remove manual work, and help those use cases get implemented. The role also owns functional, integration and UAT testing, including calculations and integrations, and acts as the person business and technology both trust when scope starts to drift. The position is a contract, intermediate-level role based in Johannesburg, posted on 29 October 2026.
Only the requirements stated in the source advert are listed here. Applicants need a degree in IT, Computer Science, Informatics, Business Analysis, Engineering, Data Science or a related field. The advert gives two experience bands: Intermediate, 4-7 years as a Business Analyst or Business Systems Analyst; and Senior, 8+ years, with proof of having led complex analysis and transformation. Gemstone platform experience is required. Applicants also need working knowledge of APIs, integrations and SQL, plus Agile delivery; tools actually used, such as Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Visio, Lucidchart, Postman, SoapUI or Power BI; and UML and BPMN. Advantageous items are financial services or investments experience; CBAP, PMI-PBA, Agile, data analytics or AI certification; and digital transformation, automation or AI-enabled delivery. The desired skills listed are SQL, Azure and DevOps, and the desired qualification level is a degree.
This is an informational listing only. The safest way to apply is through the original CareerJunction advert, using the Apply button on this page, which opens the source vacancy. Check that reference 878000024765214 and the Johannesburg location on the original advert match this role before you apply, and do not send personal documents or payments to anyone claiming to offer this role outside that advert.
Before applying, gather concrete examples of workshops you have run, requirements and process maps you have produced, and testing you have owned through to go-live, especially UAT covering calculations and integrations. Because Gemstone platform experience is stated as required, make that experience prominent in your CV, and highlight any investments or financial services work alongside your API, SQL and Agile delivery experience. If you hold CBAP, PMI-PBA or an Agile, data analytics or AI certification, list it clearly, as the advert names these as advantageous.
Applications are made through the original advert on CareerJunction, where the recruiter assesses submitted CVs against the stated requirements. Because the advert carried only a three-day expiry window at listing, confirm on the original advert that it is still open before you apply. Shortlisted candidates can expect to be contacted for further assessment, while applicants who are not contacted should treat the original advert as the best source of updates on the role.
This post is for information only and is not the employer. No usable salary figure is stated here: the source advert shows a placeholder-like R01 – R02 per month, so the salary field has been left blank rather than repeating a figure that does not reflect real pay. The advert was listed with a three-day expiry window, so check the original advert for its current status before you apply.
