What you’ll be doing

Think of this role as part investigator, part problem solver, part steady pair of hands. You’ll be involved in work that directly supports financial oversight, research, operations, and policy execution. It’s the sort of job where no two days look the same, and that’s usually a good thing.

Some of the things you’ll handle:

• Reviewing data, reports, trends, and operational practices. You’ll make sense of patterns and flag anything that needs attention.

• Helping run projects that support the bank’s broader mission, whether it’s improving systems, ensuring compliance, or strengthening core operations.

• Coordinating with teams across departments. You won’t sit in a corner quietly. You’ll interact, discuss, and sometimes debate.

• Preparing briefs, notes, and presentations that help senior management make informed decisions.

• Keeping an eye on regulations and policies so the bank stays aligned with national goals.

Nothing here is “just paperwork.” It’s work that shapes decisions that ripple across the economy. And yes, it sounds big, but you’ll have people around you who know what they’re doing. You don’t walk in alone.

Who we’re looking for

We’re not searching for superheroes. Just smart, consistent people who enjoy digging into details and don’t panic when faced with new challenges. From what our recruiters see at Get Jobzz, candidates who thrive in this kind of role are usually curious, patient, and willing to ask questions instead of pretending they know everything.

A few traits that help:

• You’re analytical. You enjoy understanding why something happened, not just what happened.

• You communicate clearly, in writing and when talking. You don’t need fancy vocabulary, just clarity.

• You’re comfortable dealing with rules, systems, and structured work.

• You stay calm during deadlines and unexpected tasks. Not robot-level calm, just human calm.

• You’re someone who follows through. If you say you’ll complete something by Friday, people don’t need to check twice.

• You can work with teams and also manage your own responsibilities without hand-holding.

A relevant degree in economics, finance, business, public administration, data analytics, or something in that orbit definitely helps. Good academic performance matters, but it’s not the only thing that shows potential. Strong reasoning and communication skills often stand out more.
