What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an operations, controls or reconciliation role in cash management, payments or financial services, where accuracy, accountability and service delivery matter. I’m ready to return to full-time employment immediately.

At Standard Bank of South Africa’s George Cash Centre, I developed a vendor monitoring dashboard to track SLA performance, exceptions and service delivery. Proactive escalation, performance monitoring and vendor retraining helped reduce operational downtime.

Across roles in cash operations, ATM control and reconciliation, I managed cash logistics, investigated variances and strengthened internal controls and audit readiness. I’m now ready to return to full-time work in cash management, payments or financial services, where accuracy, accountability and service delivery matter.
