MULTIPLE VACANCIES – Old Mutual

A bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field is usually required. Professional certifications such as CIMA, ACCA, or the Namibian Institute of Bankers (NIB) qualifications are highly valued, especially for advancement. Some entry-level positions may accept relevant diplomas combined with strong performance in Namibian matriculation subjects like Mathematics and Accounting.

Daily tasks often include processing financial transactions, preparing reports for internal stakeholders, reconciling accounts, and supporting compliance with Namibian regulatory requirements such as those from the Bank of Namibia and the Namibian Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority (NAMFISA). Team collaboration, client interaction (e.g., policyholders or agents), and use of local banking/finance systems like Core Banking platforms are common across roles.

Namibian finance workplaces generally value respect for hierarchy, punctuality, and relationship-based communication, reflecting broader cultural norms. Teamwork and community orientation are emphasised, and employers often expect adaptability to both formal corporate processes and local contextual realities, such as multilingual interactions (English, Oshiwambo, Afrikaans) in client-facing roles.

Entry-level roles (e.g., Finance Assistant) can lead to positions like Senior Finance Officer or Team Leader within 3–5 years, depending on performance and certification progress. Further growth into managerial or specialist roles (e.g., Risk Analyst, Compliance Officer) often requires NAMFISA-aligned training and experience working with Namibia’s financial regulations and reporting frameworks.

Employers typically provide at least 20 days annual leave, sick leave per the Namibian Labour Act, and participation in a registered pension or provident fund. Medical aid schemes are widely offered, often through Namibian providers like NAPWEL or Medshield, and may include dependant coverage; contributions are usually shared between employer and employee as per company policy.

Applications must be submitted via Old Mutual Namibia’s official careers portal or verified recruitment channels—never via unsolicited email or social media. Employers prioritise candidates with proven Namibian work experience, familiarity with local tax and financial reporting standards (e.g., IT Act, VAT regulations), and evidence of integrity, numeracy, and customer service orientation aligned with Namibia’s financial sector values.
