About the Role

• As the Credit & Pricing Analyst, you sit right at the commercial heart of the business. Your work shapes P&L outcomes, portfolio performance, customer affordability, and the overall risk-reward balance of the company.
• This is not a “sit quietly and build models” role.
• This is a “you own the commercial engine – go make it better” role.
• You’ll build forecasts, design pricing strategies, improve automated decisioning, dig deep into portfolio performance, and create data-driven recommendations that ripple through the whole organisation.
• You’ll work directly with the senior credit leadership team, and your models will influence how sales teams operate in multiple countries.

What You’ll Actually Do
Profitability & Pricing

• Build and refine pricing models that drive sustainable margins.
• Simulate and quantify the impact of pricing or policy changes on P&L.

Credit Performance Forecasting

• Develop and maintain forward-looking models for repayment, defaults, and portfolio health.
• Produce forecasts used by finance, operations, and leadership.

Credit Risk Model Development

• Analyse behavioural and transactional data to improve automated decision engines.
• Backtest models, monitor stability, and refine risk buckets.

Analytical Exploration

• Test hypotheses, prototype new approaches, run experiments, and uncover hidden opportunities.
• Bring new thinking into product, credit, and commercial discussions.

Portfolio Insights & Actionable Recommendations

• Identify trends and pain points in performance.
• Turn complex patterns into simple, actionable guidance for in-country teams.
• Connect your models to the operational reality of life on the ground.

Ownership & Commercial Impact

• Go beyond analysis – you’ll help teams execute, iterate, and embed changes so that improvements actually show up in the numbers.

Who You Are
You don’t need to tick every box – but you’ll thrive here if:

• You have 2-5 years in analytics, credit, pricing, risk, or data science.
• You’re great with SQL and comfortable with Python or R for modelling.
• You know your way around credit scorecards, pricing logic, or financial forecasting.
• You understand behavioural data and can separate signal from noise.
• You can communicate complex ideas simply, clearly, and confidently.
• You take ownership – the kind where you don’t just build the model, you follow through until it lands in the real world.
• You have a curious, practical, analytical mind that loves solving commercial puzzles.
• You enjoy understanding how things work on the ground, not just in a spreadsheet.
• You’re open to traveling to the countries where your work directly impacts customers.
• You want your work to have real meaning.

What You’ll Love

• A mission with real social impact
• A close-knit Cape Town HQ with a scale-up feel
• Gorgeous offices, collaborative culture, and autonomy from day one
• Hybrid flexibility (roughly half office / half remote)
• Travel opportunities across several African markets
• Annual retreats and plenty of learning opportunities
• ESOP participation after year one
• A fast-moving, intellectually stimulating environment where curiosity is rewarded

Overview:

• This is not a “keep-the-lights-on” e-commerce role.
• This is a build-from-scratch, own-the-channel opportunity inside a founder-led, globally ambitious consumer brand business that is actively challenging how premium brands show up online.
• E-commerce is a strategic growth engine here, not a side project. As E-Commerce Manager, you will take full ownership of the channel end-to-end, starting with Germany and expanding internationally. From performance and profitability to platform, creative, data, and growth strategy, this space is yours to shape.
• You will be trusted to think differently, move fast, and avoid the same tired FMCG e-commerce playbook. If your instinct is to question templates, challenge “best practice,” and build something commercially sharp and culturally relevant, you will feel very at home.
• This role will be working closely with Marketing, Sales, and International Markets to ensure alignment and momentum. It is entrepreneurial, hands-on, and designed to grow both the channel and the role itself. If you succeed, you will build a team around you and turn this into a fully-fledged global function.
• If you are a self-starter who wants real ownership, real accountability, and the freedom to create something meaningful without layers of bureaucracy slowing you down, this is a rare chance to make a very visible impact.

• Make hands-on updates to the website and manage platform changes
• Ensure the site is fast, intuitive, on-brand, and commercially effective
• Manage and brief external tech partners where required

Performance Marketing & SEO

• Own all paid performance marketing activity across markets
• Own SEO strategy and execution
• Manage budgets with a strong focus on ROI and ROAS
• Continuously test, optimise, and scale what works

Data, Analytics & Reporting

• Own all e-commerce reporting and data analysis
• Track traffic, funnel performance, conversion, CAC, ROAS, retention, and LTV
• Translate data into clear actions and commercial decisions
• Report regularly into Finance with clarity and insight

Creative Direction & Execution

• Lead creative direction for e-commerce content and campaigns
• Guide internal creative resources and ensure execution quality
• Balance strong brand storytelling with performance-driven creative
• Continuously test creative to improve results

Distributor & Market Alignment

• Work closely with distributors to ensure alignment on e-commerce strategy
• Align pricing, promotions, messaging, and mechanics with market strategy
• Act as a bridge between Finance, Marketing, Sales, and international markets

Function & Team Build-Out

• Design the future structure of the e-commerce function
• Hire and lead a team as the channel scales
• Set clear KPIs, processes, and ways of working

Requirements:

• Proven experience in e-commerce or DTC, ideally within FMCG, spirits, lifestyle, or premium consumer brands
• Strong hands-on technical ability to manage and update e-commerce platforms
• Experience in performance marketing and SEO
• Highly analytical, commercially minded, and data-driven
• Entrepreneurial, builder mindset and comfortable starting from zero
• Confident challenging convention and doing things differently
• Comfortable operating independently in a fast-moving, founder-led environment
• Based in Cape Town, with a genuine appetite for international exposure and growth
