More about this Ozow fantastic position  

As Product Operations Manager, your job is to help Ozow run Product with more clarity, better visibility, and stronger launch discipline. 

You will work with the Head of Product and Product leaders to improve how Product plans, reviews, communicates, and launches across the company. You will help establish clearer portfolio visibility, better dependency tracking, more consistent product artifacts, and a more reliable operating cadence. 

You will not own product strategy or make roadmap decisions on behalf of Product Managers. Your role is to create the scaffolding that helps the right decisions happen with more clarity, consistency, and confidence. That distinction is central to the Product Ops model you have already defined.     

Your role and responsibilities 

Leadership & Operating Enablement  

• Act as a high‑agency operating partner to the Head of Product, helping establish and maintain a strong product operating rhythm 
• Enable Product Managers to focus on judgment and outcomes by reducing operational friction and ambiguity 
• Influence without authority, working cross‑functionally with Engineering, Design, Commercial, Risk, Compliance, Client Success, and Operations 

Planning & Portfolio Visibility  

• Support quarterly and 6–8 week product planning cycles across multiple product domains 
• Maintain a clear and trusted view of portfolio status, priorities, dependencies, risks, and key trade‑offs 
• Improve the quality, structure, and decision‑usefulness of product reviews and operating forums 

Execution & Launch Readiness  

• Coordinate launch readiness across Product, Engineering, Commercial, Risk, Compliance, and Operations 
• Ensure launches are well‑prepared, documented, and aligned with risk, regulatory, and operational requirements 
• Improve dependency tracking, escalation pathways, and cross‑team communication 

Systems & Standard Governance  

• Improve consistency and quality of product artifacts including PRDs, strategy docs, review packs, and launch briefs 
• Define, maintain, and evolve product workflows across tools such as Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence, or equivalent 
• Maintain KPI definitions, reporting views, and decision logs used by Product and leadership 
• Improve meeting hygiene, documentation standards, and operating discipline across the product organisation 

Tool Utilisation & Change Management  

• Design and implement lightweight systems, templates, and processes that improve clarity without adding bureaucracy 
• Identify recurring points of friction in how Product operates and solve them through better tooling, workflows, or cadence 
• Support change adoption by aligning teams around new operating standards and practices 

In this role, success means: 

• Product has a clearer and more trusted operating rhythm 
• Portfolio visibility is stronger across teams and domains 
• Product reviews are more structured and decision-useful 
• Cross-team dependencies and risks are easier to see and manage 
• Launch coordination is more disciplined and less ad hoc 
• Product Managers spend less time stitching together status and more time on product work 
• The wider business experiences Product as clearer, better aligned, and easier to work with 

You are an ideal candidate if you have 

• Experience in Product Operations, Product Management, Business Operations, Program Management, or a similar operating role 
• Exposure to fintech, payments, SaaS, platforms, marketplaces, or other complex product environments 
• Experience supporting planning cycles, launch readiness, or portfolio visibility across multiple teams 
• Experience working in regulated, operationally sensitive, or high‑reliability environments 
• Appreciation for risk, compliance, readiness, and delivery discipline in payments or financial services 
• Familiarity with product and workflow tools such as Jira, Linear, Notion, Confluence, Airtable, or similar

About the Role

We're seeking a Senior Data Scientist specializing in Fraud and Risk to join our Cape Town Data Science team. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of protecting our affiliate marketing ecosystem by researching, developing, and deploying ML models that detect and prevent fraud across attribution, lead quality, and partner compliance. You'll work on high-impact problems spanning traditional fraud patterns and emerging threats—from attribution manipulation to browser extension abuse—while building production systems that scale. This is an opportunity to combine rigorous analytical work with tangible business impact in a fast-moving, adversarial domain.

Core Responsibilities

Research & model development

• Conduct R&D on fraud detection and risk monitoring across the digital advertising ecosystem, including attribution fraud, lead fraud, click injection, browser extension abuse (e.g., Honey-style coupon hijacking), brand safety violations, and creator authenticity verification.
• Design, prototype, and validate ML models and rule-based systems for fraud detection, partner risk scoring, compliance monitoring, and trust & safety workflows.
• Research and apply graph-based fraud detection techniques (community detection, link analysis, behavioral clustering) and explore graph database applications for modeling relationships between users, devices, transactions, and partners to uncover coordinated fraud rings and suspicious network patterns.
• Stay ahead of emerging fraud patterns through continuous learning—monitoring industry trends, reviewing academic literature, exploring data for novel anomalies, and collaborating closely with Product, Compliance, and Trust & Safety teams.

Production deployment & iteration

• Deploy Fraud and Risk ML models to production; own the end-to-end delivery from ETL, feature engineering, model training, deployment, to monitoring.
• Iterate on live models by adding new features, improving performance (precision/recall/F1), and reducing false positives.
• Partner with MLOps and Engineering to ensure models are robust, scalable, and production-ready (testing, alerts, drift monitoring, retraining pipelines).

Data analytics & insights

• Perform deep-dive analyses on fraud trends, partner behavior, and risk patterns to inform model strategy and business decisions.
• Translate analytical findings into actionable recommendations for Product, Marketing, and Finance stakeholders.
• Build dashboards and reports to communicate model performance, fraud impact, and risk metrics to leadership.

Cross-functional collaboration

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Compliance, and Finance to scope requirements, prioritize work, and align on success metrics.
• Communicate technical work clearly to non-technical audiences; present findings and tradeoffs in planning forums and reviews.
• Contribute to a culture of experimentation, documentation, and knowledge sharing within the Data Science team.

Requirements

Essential

• Experience: 5+ years in data science, ML, or advanced analytics, with at least 2+ years focused on fraud detection, risk modeling, or anomaly detection in production environments.
• Fraud & risk domain expertise: Demonstrated experience building and deploying fraud or risk models (classification, anomaly detection, time-series analysis, graph-based methods).
• Technical skills:
• Strong Python and SQL; proficiency with ML libraries (scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, or similar).
• Experience with feature engineering, model evaluation (ROC/AUC, precision-recall, cost-sensitive learning), and handling imbalanced datasets.
• Familiarity with production ML workflows (versioning, monitoring, A/B testing, model retraining).
• Analytical rigor: Strong foundation in statistics and ML; ability to design experiments, validate models, and interpret results with business context.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex technical work into clear insights for stakeholders; experience presenting to cross-functional teams.
• Education: Bachelor's in a quantitative field (CS, Statistics, Math, Engineering, or similar); Master's/PhD preferred.

Preferred / Nice to have

• Experience in affiliate marketing, ad tech, or e-commerce fraud (attribution fraud, click fraud, lead validation, coupon abuse).
• Familiarity with browser extension detection, fingerprinting, or device/user identity resolution.
• Experience with graph analytics or network-based fraud detection (community detection, link analysis, behavioral clustering).
• Knowledge of privacy-preserving ML techniques or working with privacy-constrained data.
• Experience with real-time or near-real-time scoring and low-latency deployment (e.g., REST APIs, streaming pipelines).
• Familiarity with GCP tools (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Cloud Run) and/or Databricks/Spark for large-scale data processing.
• Exposure to rule engines, decision trees, or hybrid rule-ML systems for compliance and risk workflows.

What sets you apart

• Adversarial thinking: You understand how fraudsters operate and can anticipate evasion tactics and evolving attack vectors.
• Pragmatic delivery: You balance rigor with speed, prioritizing MVPs and iterative improvement over perfection.
• Business impact orientation: You focus on measurable outcomes (fraud loss reduction, false positive rates, operational efficiency) and communicate ROI clearly.
• Comfort with ambiguity: You thrive in evolving problem spaces, defining your own roadmap when fraud patterns shift or new threats emerge.
• Collaboration and influence: You build trust across teams and can drive adoption of your models through enablement, documentation, and clear storytelling.

Mission

We’re on a mission to help more people thrive in tech — becoming the central place for software makers to build great careers and for companies to build winning teams.

Within the Marketing team at OfferZen, our focus is to grow and engage our community of developers and companies through valuable content, events, reports, tools, and campaigns.

Design plays a key role in this — it’s how our brand shows up in the world, how we stay distinct in a market that often looks the same, and how we move from ideas to impact at pace.

As a Marketing Graphic Designer, your mission is to bring our brand to life across the full funnel while helping us scale how we design and deliver — through high-quality creative, reusable systems, and well-executed brand touchpoints like swag and events.

About the role

This role is focused on strong execution with room to grow. *Please note: This is a 12-month contract role that requires occasional visit to our Cape Town office. 

You’ll work closely with the marketing team and alongside a design lead, taking ideas and turning them into clear, high-quality visual outputs across campaigns, content, and brand touchpoints.

A key part of the role is not just delivering assets, but helping us move from one-off design work toward a more scalable system — through templates, reusable assets, and consistent visual patterns.

You’ll also play an important role in bringing the brand to life beyond digital — owning how swag is designed, produced, and delivered across campaigns and events, and helping build simple, reliable systems that ensure quality, consistency, and readiness at scale.

Outcomes

• We consistently ship high-quality, on-brand creative across campaigns, content, and community
• Design is no longer a bottleneck for marketing delivery
• We are building a growing library of reusable assets (templates, illustrations, components)
• The OfferZen brand feels consistent, distinct, and recognisable across all touchpoints
• The team is empowered with templates and tools to self-serve where appropriate
• OfferZen Swag is high-quality, on-brand, and event-ready at all times, supported by efficient systems for inventory, ordering, and cost control

Responsibilities

Design and deliver high-quality visual assets across a range of marketing needs:

• Ad creatives for paid campaigns
• Campaign collateral (banners, landing visuals, email assets)
• Blog, report, and social media creatives
• Sales and internal enablement materials
• Event and community assets
• Swag (t-shirts, stickers, print materials, etc.)

Contribute to improving how we design over time:

• Create and maintain templates to reduce from-scratch work
• Support the development of our illustration and asset library (e.g. dinocorn system)
• Apply and maintain consistency across all outputs
• Iterate on feedback and continuously improve the quality and impact of designs

Own the swag system:

• Manage swag ordering end-to-end (quotes, suppliers, approvals, timelines)
• Maintain accurate swag inventory and run regular stock takes with help of our office manager
• Ensure swag is shipped on time events, campaigns, and candidate placements with the help of our office manager
• Ensure all events are fully prepared with the right swag, in the right quantities, on time
• Identify opportunities to simplify and standardise the swag system (cost effective options, reusable designs, better processes)

What will make you a good fit

We’re looking for someone with strong design fundamentals who wants to grow into a more senior designer or marketer over time.

Core requirements:

• 2-3 years experience in graphic design
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates layout, typography, illustration and visual clarity
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• Capable illustrator, able to generate on brand assets
• Comfortable designing across multiple formats (digital and print)
• Super organised, proactive and detail-orientated 

Nice to have:

• Experience designing for marketing or brand 
• Exposure to templates or design system
• Familiarity with Figma or similar tools
• Ability to animate / create motion graphics
• Basic knowledge of AI implementation in design workflows

How you work

• You care about clarity and craft, not just aesthetics
• You’re comfortable working from briefs and iterating on feedback
• You have strong attention to detail and take pride in polished output
• You’re proactive and look for ways to improve how things are done
• You’re curious and invested in growing your skills over time

What We’re Looking For:

The Manager, Executive Education Analytics is responsible for the day-to-day analytical leadership of the Exec Ed program pod in Cape Town. This role sits between the Director and the analyst team  -  translating strategic direction into operational rigor, ensuring analysts are producing high-quality outputs on time, and serving as the primary point of accountability for program-level spend and performance across the pod. You will manage a team of analysts who each own a portfolio of Exec Ed programs end-to-end, and you will be expected to know every program in your pod well enough to speak to it at any moment. This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both people management depth and strong analytical credibility.

Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To:

1. Team Management &  Analyst Development

• Manage and develop a pod of 3-4 analysts, each responsible for demand generation analytics and program performance for a defined set of Exec Ed programs.
• Set and maintain a high quality bar for analyst outputs - spend plans, forecasts, and meeting preparation should not reach stakeholders without a manager's review.
• Run structured 1:1s with each analyst focused on work quality, skill development, and wellbeing - not just status updates.
• Actively develop analyst capability particularly in areas where the new unified model requires growth: spend planning, forecasting methodology, and partner communication.
• Manage capacity and prioritization across the pod, escalating to the Director when workload or capability creates genuine delivery risk.

 2. Spend Management & Budget Oversight

• Own the pod-level view of Exec Ed spend tracking actuals versus plan across all programs in the pod and flagging material variances to the Director in a timely manner.
• Review and approve analyst spend plans before they are submitted to the media execution team, ensuring plans are analytically sound and aligned to program goals.
• Serve as the escalation point for spend-related questions from media, finance, or internal stakeholders within your pod.
• Ensure analysts are held accountable to budget accuracy and that spend decisions are documented and defensible.

 3. Analytics & Program Performance

• Maintain a real-time view of all programs in the pod  -  you should be able to speak to any program's status, funnel performance, and risks without preparation.
• Review cohort forecasts produced by analysts ensuring they reflect current pacing, are methodologically consistent, and are ready for stakeholder consumption.
• Own submit-to-registration analysis at the pod level  -  identifying systemic patterns across programs and surfacing insights to the Director and broader team.
• Ensure the pod meeting cadence is maintained with analysts leading well-prepared, data-driven program performance conversations on the agreed schedule.

 4.  Portfolio Visibility & Stakeholder Engagement

• Contribute to portfolio-level reporting by ensuring pod-level data is accurate, submitted on time, and in the correct format for rollup by the Director.
• Serve as a senior analytical resource in stakeholder conversations where analyst-level presence is insufficient - stepping in to provide additional context or credibility.
• Partner with US-based colleagues including the broader Analytics leadership team, maintaining tight alignment on spend plans, forecasting methodology, and portfolio priorities.
• Support partner-facing engagements as needed, ensuring that the analytical narrative presented to university partners is accurate, clear, and reflects the full picture of program performance.

 5.  Operations & Team Rhythm

• • Own the operational cadence of the pod including spend plan submission timelines, forecast cycles, and program meeting schedules.
  • Establish and maintain team norms around data hygiene, output formatting, and stakeholder communication  particularly important as the CT team is new and norms are being set.
  • Coordinate with the Lead Analyst (Portfolio) to ensure program-level data flows correctly into portfolio analytics workstreams such as contact strategy and partner reporting.
  • Identify and flag process improvement opportunities including areas where tooling or automation could reduce manual work across the pod.

Things That Should Be In Your Background:

• 5+ years of experience in analytics, with at least 1-2 years in a people management or formal mentoring role.
• Strong command of demand generation analytics, media spend management, and registration or enrollment funnel performance.
• Proven ability to hold a team accountable to output quality and deadlines while maintaining a coaching and development mindset.
• Highly organized - you can track multiple programs, workstreams, and analyst portfolios simultaneously without dropping threads.
• Strong communicator, comfortable in both internal stakeholder settings and cross-timezone collaboration with US-based leadership.
• Analytically credible - you can engage deeply with the work your analysts are producing and identify issues before they reach stakeholders.
• Proficiency in analytics and BI tools; SQL or equivalent querying skills.

Other Attributes That Will Help You In This Role:

• Experience in higher education, ed-tech, or an enrollment- or subscription-based business.
• Familiarity with CRM systems, contact strategy analytics, or customer journey frameworks.
• Experience working in a globally distributed team with remote leadership.

•  Exposure to cohort-level forecasting methodology and registration funnel analytics.

Your Role at impact.com:

impact.com's Analytics Data Platform processes terabyte-scale data for one of the world's leading partnership SaaS platforms, covering the full lifecycle from ingestion to governed access.

We're looking for a technical people leader to own and grow the Data Platform Engineering team, while driving the architecture, reliability, and evolution of impact.com's Analytics Data Platform. This is a senior player-coach role: you'll combine hands-on technical leadership with direct people management, building a high-performing team, owning delivery, and shaping platform strategy. Expect to spend roughly 40% hands-on and 60% on leadership, people, and delivery, shifting as the team matures. You'll be accountable for both the team's output and its people, ensuring engineers are supported, challenged, and growing.

As Team Lead for Data Platform Engineering, you'll work across the full data ecosystem (ingestion, processing, storage, orchestration, access, and governance) using technologies like Scala, Python, Google Cloud Dataproc, BigQuery, and Airflow. You'll shape the operating model for the team, establish engineering standards, and drive platform strategy. This role is levelled at Senior/Staff Engineer on the engineering management track and reports to the Director of Advanced Analytics. The position is based in Cape Town, hybrid, with one day per week in office.

Data Platform Engineering is one of four sub-teams within the Data Analytics Group (DAG). DPE owns ingestion, infrastructure, orchestration, and platform services. Analytics Engineering owns the dbt transformation layer and semantic layer. Data Analytics owns reporting and insights. Data Product Management owns product roadmaps and governance processes. You'll partner closely with all three, but won't own dbt models, reporting, or product prioritisation directly.

Our ideal candidate combines distributed systems expertise with proven people leadership. Someone who can make architecture decisions, run a team, and translate platform trade-offs into business language. This role is for someone who wants to build both a platform and a team, not just maintain what exists.

What you'll inherit:

The platform has strong foundations: Scala/Spark pipelines processing TB-scale data, 37+ Fivetran connectors, Airflow on Astronomer for orchestration, a mature dbt-based transformation layer, and BigQuery as the core analytical warehouse. Databricks is part of the current stack but is being transitioned off in favour of Dataproc and BigQuery-native patterns. What's greenfield: governance frameworks, data contracts, SLOs/SLAs, observability, cost management, and data quality monitoring. You'll build the team that delivers on these opportunities.

What you'll do:

• Build and run a team of data platform engineers: set direction, remove blockers, give honest feedback, and make sure people are growing in their careers.
• Create an environment where engineers do their best work: high trust, high standards, low friction.
• Turn platform strategy into a delivery plan the team can actually execute: sequence the work, balance new builds against keeping the lights on, and make the trade-offs visible.
• Own capacity and priorities across the team. Keep cross-team dependencies from becoming bottlenecks.
• Lead platform architecture decisions, design reviews, and cross-org technical coordination, defining and promoting architectural patterns, standards, and guidelines.
• Design and implement scalable pipelines using Scala, Python, and distributed frameworks (Spark on Dataproc) processing TB-scale data. Lead the migration off Databricks onto Dataproc and BigQuery-native patterns.
• Establish platform reliability practices: define SLOs/SLAs, build incident management and response processes, and drive systemic improvements across pipeline and infrastructure operations.
• Design and maintain core platform services (Dataproc clusters, BigQuery datasets, Cloud Storage) and optimise platform performance and cost at scale.
• Build and operationalise data governance, security, and compliance capabilities, including data contracts, access controls, and audit logging. Many of these practices are greenfield; you will be building them from scratch.
• Define and evolve team rituals, operating cadences, and engineering standards: code review norms, documentation practices, on-call fairness, and knowledge sharing.
• Represent the team to senior leadership and act as the single point of accountability for the team's commitments to cross-functional partners (analytics engineering, data analytics, product, finance).
• Own data source integrations and data quality across the platform, including third-party connectors (e.g. Fivetran), custom Scala/Spark ingestion pipelines, dbt orchestration via Airflow and Astronomer Cosmos, and quality monitoring and remediation practices.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 7+ years of experience in data platform engineering, data engineering, or distributed systems, including 2+ years leading engineering teams
• Strong programming skills in Scala and Python, including functional Scala patterns (cats-effect / Typelevel ecosystem), testing, code review, and production-grade engineering practices
• Deep hands-on experience with distributed computing frameworks: Apache Spark (Dataproc) and large-scale data processing. Databricks experience is useful for leading the migration off it
• Expert-level knowledge of cloud-native data platforms and services. Our stack runs on Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Dataproc, Cloud Storage), but equivalent depth on AWS or Azure is equally valued
• Advanced SQL skills including complex query optimisation, partitioning strategies, and performance tuning
• Experience building and scaling engineering teams, not just managing established ones: hiring, running interview loops, onboarding, and growing engineers from junior to senior
• Experience leading cross-team architecture initiatives and establishing platform-wide standards
• Experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Astronomer, and Astronomer Cosmos for dbt orchestration) and CI/CD pipeline design
