Sales Fraternity is looking for a Compliance Officer and Trainer to support franchise offices in a national real estate organisation. The role is based in the Sandton area, with the listing location shown as Sandown, and it combines regulatory compliance work with practical training and hands-on operational support. It suits someone who can turn complex rules into clear, workable procedures that offices can actually follow day to day.
About the company and the work
The hiring organisation is an established national real estate business, and the role supports its franchise principals and teams. Rather than sitting behind a desk writing policies in isolation, the successful candidate works closely with offices, helping them apply regulatory requirements consistently in their daily operations. The work also involves improving how offices are run, from administration and file management to supervision and transaction processes, so that compliance becomes part of normal workflow rather than an extra burden.
Role details and duties
Under compliance and governance, the role holder maintains practical compliance frameworks for franchise offices and monitors relevant property, financial intelligence, privacy, consumer and rental legislation. They communicate regulatory changes, deadlines and required actions, and keep compliance checklists, procedures and guidance documents up to date. The role also supports offices with RMCP implementation, customer due diligence, beneficial ownership and sanctions screening work, as shown in the listing.
Compliance reviews form a second major part of the job. The successful candidate conducts remote and on-site compliance assessments, reviews practitioner registration, qualifications, transaction files, disclosures and trust requirements, and identifies risks and corrective actions. They track outstanding actions, escalate serious or repeated issues, and assist offices with regulatory inspections and enquiries.
The training side of the role involves identifying training needs and delivering practical workshops, webinars and coaching for principals, property practitioners and administrative teams. The role holder develops training materials, guides and checklists, and monitors whether training is being put into practice. In addition, they help principals improve office administration, file management, supervision and transaction processes, integrate compliance into existing workflows, develop practical improvement plans, monitor implementation, and provide management with compliance and training reports.
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in the South African real estate industry.
- Experience in areas such as branch management, compliance, rentals, transaction administration or franchise consulting, as shown in the listing.
- Strong working knowledge of property practitioner regulations and financial intelligence requirements.
- Practical understanding of mandates, disclosures, transaction documentation and trust controls.
- Experience delivering training and advising business owners or managers.
- Strong written communication, presentation and report-writing skills.
- Good computer and CRM or system skills.
- Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel nationally.
- Advantageous, as shown in the listing: a qualification in Real Estate, Compliance, Risk Management, Law or Business Management; a relevant industry professional designation; formal compliance or anti-money laundering training; and previous experience as a principal, branch manager, compliance officer, trainer or franchise consultant.
The listing also names key competencies including regulatory compliance, risk management, training and facilitation, business consulting, stakeholder management, communication, problem solving, attention to detail, planning and organisation, professional judgement, and integrity and confidentiality. Success is measured by completed compliance reviews, timely closure of corrective actions, fewer repeat findings, effective compliance programme implementation, successful training and operational improvement, and accurate reporting and strong support to franchise offices. The salary is shown as R38,000 to R45,000 CTC, negotiable further based on skills and experience, as shown in the listing.
