Introduction
Are you ready to begin your career in business systems, requirements gathering, and project delivery? The Business Analyst Internship at Pepkor Payments and Lending in Kuilsriver, Cape Town, offers exactly that. Over 18 months, you’ll experience what it means to be a bridge between business needs and technical solutions. It’s a chance to learn from seasoned professionals while you sharpen your analytical and communication skills.
Working within a leading financial services support division, you’ll gain exposure to real business impact, stakeholder engagement, and process improvement. This isn’t a passive internship — you’ll be part of planning, documenting, and driving change in a trusted environment.
About the Role
In this position, you’ll help manage business change efforts from a foundational level. You’ll support business analysis planning and monitoring, gather and document requirements, analyze those requirements, and communicate them clearly to stakeholders. You’ll also assess how changes impact existing systems, processes, and teams.
Your work may involve producing requirement documents, capturing stakeholder needs, collaborating with developers or process owners, and supporting delivery of business solutions. Through this role you’ll see firsthand how change is scoping, approved, and executed within a real organisation.
Who Should Apply
This internship is ideal for someone who loves translating business ideas into clear, structured change. If you have strong attention to detail, enjoy working with people, and want to develop in business systems support or analysis, this is a great fit. You should feel comfortable navigating ambiguity and asking clarifying questions.
You’ll thrive in this role if you can build relationships easily, influence others with data or logic, and present ideas concisely. You’ll be working with multiple stakeholders, so communication and persuasion skills matter just as much as your analytical abilities.
Skills & Requirements
To apply for this role, you should have the following:
- Degree requirement: BSc in Industrial Engineering (or equivalent)
- Strong proficiency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel (essential) to manage communications and analysis
- Good skill in information gathering, problem analysis, and logical thinking
- Ability to pay attention to detail and work accurately under pressure
- Effective communication, presentation, and influencing skills
- Self‑development mindset: ability to adapt, learn quickly, and take initiative
Some exposure to business analyst requirements or process mapping tools will help, but your willingness to learn and grow is equally important.
Benefits & What You’ll Gain
While you gain practical experience, Pepkor Payments and Lending also offers a supportive work environment. Perks include a Reward & Recognition programme, a games lounge, onsite wellness clinics, subsidized meals, and a collaborative culture. You’ll be surrounded by peers and mentors who support your growth.
From a skill perspective, you’ll improve your ability in requirement elicitation, change impact assessment, stakeholder communication, and project support. By the end of your internship you can step confidently into roles like junior business analyst, process analyst, or requirements engineer in financial services in South Africa.
