Financial services group offering insurance, retirement, and health solutions across South Africa
Momentum is a large, publicly listed financial services operator spanning insurance, retirement planning, and medical aid. The tech stack reveals a hybrid infrastructure: legacy systems (AS/400, Visual Basic, VBA) sit alongside modern cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and analytics tools (Snowflake, BigQuery, Power BI, QlikView), with active replacement of VBA. Hiring is sales-heavy (88 of 199 roles) and concentrated at mid-level, paired with significant healthcare and finance headcount—a hiring shape consistent with a regulated insurance operation managing both customer acquisition and compliance complexity.

Active projects reflect a business scaling client service delivery (SLAs, turnaround times) and compliance infrastructure (FAIS monitoring, audit accuracy, risk surveillance). The organization operates across South Africa, Kazakhstan, and Canada.
