Technical Lead: Corporate Domain - JHB -Hybrid IT
JHB Central, Johannesburg - Gauteng
About The Opportunity
Our client, a well-established financial services organization, is looking for a Technical Lead to act as the senior technical authority for its Corporate Domain. You will guide solution design, platform governance and delivery excellence across multiple enterprise systems, including Salesforce/CRM, Finance, Risk, Complaints and Website platforms.
The role blends hands-on technical leadership with architectural oversight, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable and aligned to business strategy and regulatory requirements. Because Finance and Risk systems carry real audit and compliance weight, you will understand the reasoning behind controls, not just implement them.
You will mentor low code / no code developers, uplift engineering practices and act as the technical escalation point for complex workflow, integration and data challenges, working closely with product owners, business analysts, architecture, cyber security and external vendors.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership and Architecture
Must-have: Integration and data flow, the connective tissue across these systems.
Broad, hands-on-capable exposure is required across these areas; deep expert-level depth in each is not.
There is no formal on-call rotation, but the successful candidate should expect to be contactable for high-severity production escalations outside standard hours on an as-needed basis. Frequency, response expectations and any related compensation or time-off arrangements will be confirmed at offer stage.
Should you not hear from us within 14 days, kindly consider your application as unsuccessful

- Cross-system data movement and orchestration across Finance, Risk and other corporate platforms

- Experience implementing development standards, code review processes and documentation frameworks
- Strong understanding of risk management, compliance obligations and audit requirements
- Ability to identify technical debt and drive remediation
