Who are we?

Sanlam was established as a life insurance company in South Africa but has since transformed into a diversified financial services group that operates across the African continent, India, Malaysia and selected developed markets, with listings on the Johannesburg, A2X and Namibian stock exchanges. In 2018 the Group celebrated its centenary as well as 20 years since demutualisation and listing in South Africa and Namibia. Sanlam is one of the largest internationally active insurance groups in the world with a presence in 31 countries and has the biggest non-banking financial services footprint on the African continent.

The Group's business clusters (Sanlam Life and Savings, Sanlam Investment Group, Sanlam Allianz and Santam) house the Group's business operations. The Group Office provides strategic direction and support to the five clusters, assisting them in realising their strategies and meeting their business objectives. The Group Office is responsible for governance and for the Group's centralised functions, which include: Finance, Actuarial and Risk Management, Strategy, Human Resources, Market Development and Sustainability.

Position Overview

This role requires a seasoned researcher with expertise in human centered design, service design and UX research methodologies. This role will be instrumental in generating deep customer and user insights that inform business strategy, digital experiences and service innovation.

The ideal candidate is a highly experienced researcher who seamlessly blends design research, UX research and customer experience insights to inform product teams, CX measurement frameworks and business stakeholders. By collaborating with cross functional teams, including CX strategy, product, design and engineering, this role will ensure that customer needs are at the heart of all decision making and innovation.

7+ years of experience in design research, UX research, or service design research, with a proven ability to conduct research at scale.

Background in financial services, insurance, or a similarly regulated industry is a plus.

What will make you successful in this role?

Expertise in qualitative and quantitative research methods, including ethnographic research, interviews, usability testing, surveys, and A/B testing.

Strong ability to synthesise and integrate insights into strategic recommendations that drive customer and business value.

Excellent communication, storytelling, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.

Experience working in cross-functional teams and collaborating with CX strategy, product, design, and business stakeholders.

Knowledge of service design principles and human-centered design methodologies.
