A permanent senior role in the investment world is open for a commercially sharp Senior Research Analyst who can turn mining and commodity knowledge into clear investment insight. Based around Pretoria, with the listing location shown as Wolmer, this opportunity suits a postgraduate mining or finance professional who enjoys digging into companies, projects and markets, and backing a view with sound numbers.
About the company and the work
The role is advertised through Fempower Personnel, a South African staffing company with more than 36 years of experience matching candidates to corporate clients. The underlying client works in investment management. That setting matters: the work is not general research for its own sake, but specialist support for mining investment decisions, where technical, commercial and financial evidence must be weighed together.
Expect to follow mining companies and exploration projects closely, keep commodity markets in view, and help investment teams decide where opportunity, risk and value actually sit. The advert describes the ideal candidate as commercially astute, with strong analytical capability and investment understanding.
Role details and duties
Research: Conduct mining sector and commodity market research, and evaluate mining companies and exploration projects with a clear eye for what drives value and what could go wrong.
Due diligence and valuation: Perform technical, commercial and investment due diligence, and review mining financial models and valuations, checking assumptions, inputs and conclusions before they are relied on.
Investment support: Support investment teams with transaction evaluations and investment recommendations, presenting findings in a way that helps decision makers act with confidence.
The advert notes a permanent position, senior level, and a market-related package, with the listing expiring in 34 days from its posting on 28 October 2026.
