Atlas Finance is looking for a Consultant to join its team in Cape Town. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people, understands credit, and can help customers through every step of a loan application. If you have experience in the microfinance industry and you are comfortable working towards monthly targets, this role could be a strong fit.
About the company and the work
Atlas Finance is a financial services provider whose branches help customers apply for credit loans. The consultant role sits at the heart of that service: you are the person customers deal with when they walk in or call to ask about borrowing, and you are also the person who keeps the branch running smoothly behind the scenes. The work combines customer service, sales, collections and careful administration, and it is carried out in line with credit-granting rules and company policy.
The position is based in Cape Town in the Western Cape. It is a permanent role, and the salary is described as market related. The advert reference is 209564, and applications close on November 4, 2026.
Role details and duties
The purpose of the role is to promote, assist and enable clients to apply for credit loans, making sure those applications meet all credit-granting regulatory and policy requirements. Day to day, the consultant is expected to:
- Meet monthly loan application sales targets by promoting credit loans and assisting customers with their applications.
- Meet monthly collections targets by following company procedures and instructions for collections work.
- Update and maintain records accurately, and keep branch housekeeping standards tidy and up to date.
- Provide a professional and friendly service to internal and external customers at all times.
In practice, that means a mix of talking to customers, guiding them through what they need for an application, following up on repayments, and keeping the paperwork and records in good order. Accuracy matters as much as friendliness: every application has to stand up to the rules that govern responsible lending.
Requirements
Applicants should meet the following requirements, as stated in the original advert:
- A minimum of Grade 12.
- A Certificate or Diploma in Micro Lending Frontline Service (NQF Level 3).
- Two years of experience in the microfinance industry.
- Mathematical Literacy.
The advert also states that preference will be given to equity candidates. Applicants should read the original advert carefully to confirm exactly how this preference is described before applying.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page, which links directly to the advert. You should never pay anyone to apply for a job, and you should be cautious of anyone who asks for payment, bank details or personal documents before an interview has taken place. If anything about an approach feels suspicious, stop and check the original advert first.
Practical tips
Before you apply, gather proof of your Grade 12 qualification, your micro-lending certificate or diploma, and a clear summary of your two years in microfinance, including the branch work you handled and the targets you worked towards. Think about examples that show you can sell responsibly, follow up on collections professionally, and keep accurate records under pressure. A short, honest CV that highlights those points will serve you better than a long, generic one.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the Careers24 listing for this vacancy. Shortlisted candidates are normally contacted by the employer for the next steps, which may include an interview and checks of qualifications and experience. Only shortlisted candidates are usually contacted, so if you do not hear back, it generally means your application was not taken further on this occasion.
