Who we are

Business Technology Strategists for SMEs®.

We are a technology service provider determined to solve business problems for small and medium businesses with services and solutions we design and deliver. On a mission to make businesses more successful, we show them how technology brings their strategies alive, transforms how they operate and makes a positive difference to everyone we engage with.

At Numata you are not just doing a job. You are building a career, doing whatever it takes, making an impact, and becoming part of a supportive, ambitious community that grows together.

Who we are

A people-first practice, built for growth.

Any business can boast a great culture, but it is the actual experience that matters. At Numata people feel they can be themselves.

We are close-knit, caring, supportive and welcoming to individuals from all walks of life. Open communication, upliftment and collaboration are what make personal and professional growth possible here.

  • People-first, always

    Numata is a people-first business. We invest in the human before the role, and the role compounds because of it.

  • Do whatever it takes

    Our people take ownership. The phrase 'not my job' does not exist here. We move things forward, together.

  • Growth is the point

    Careers here are built through certifications, mentoring, stretch work and international mobility. That is how we work every day.

  • Integrity, in the open

    We publish what we measure, own our mistakes and celebrate what works. Innovation only holds up when integrity holds it.

We are different

We are great for people who get us, and the way we do things.

We are definitely not for everyone, and everyone is not for us. We believe that nothing which holds real value can ever be bought. We believe in our core values, and in the privilege of building our own little universe inside Numata, where we get to decide how things should and should not work. We do not follow the world. We created our own.

We believe in trusting the good in people, and we enjoy seeing people succeed. We like being part of our people's life journeys, professionally and personally. One of the biggest rewards is the feeling you get when you are able to serve others. Numata is a vehicle for people who want to make a difference and want to feel part of something bigger than themselves. If you get this, you will probably get us.

A small team, on purpose

We do not have a growth target for team size. We have a growth cap.

The cap keeps us focused on attracting, developing and retaining some of the world's best talent. With a diverse, global team from very different backgrounds, we come together through a set of shared values, something we are proud of and work hard to protect.

It also means our standards are high, probably higher than most businesses you have worked for. Small team, big aspirations: look at what we have built since 2004.

What you can expect

We invest in our people. Here is what that actually means.

  • Rewards and recognition

    Recognition programmes with instant awards, additional study leave, referral rewards and employee rewards. Good work gets named by the person who benefited from it.

  • Financial benefits

    Life insurance, funeral policy, disability benefits and study bursaries. We are also an accredited Living Wage employer.

  • Care and wellbeing

    Flexible working where the work allows it, private medical insurance, death and disability cover, and a company sponsored mental health professional.

  • Homegrown first

    We promote and develop from within, limiting external hires so our own people get first claim on the next step in their career.

  • Certified, funded

    Microsoft, security and framework certifications are funded and expected. Your CV grows while you do the work.

  • Room to move

    Move between practice families, geographies or client portfolios as your career grows. A global bench across Johannesburg, London, Dublin, Miami and Hong Kong is designed for it.

What our people say about us.

  • At Numata I have found more than a career, I have found a journey of personal and professional development. The culture is rooted in core values that echo my own, and that fuels the daily pursuit of excellence. Numata is not just a workplace, it is a shared commitment to growth.

    Service Desk Manager

  • Excellence is not only a commitment to our clients, it is a way of life inside the business. Having worked with various organisations before, I can say Numata feels like home. Support and encouragement here are second nature.

Questions

What people ask before they apply.

What benefits does Numata offer employees?

Numata is an accredited Living Wage employer. Microsoft, security and framework certifications are funded, and pay, leave and wellbeing are treated as non-negotiables rather than perks. You also get named accountability for your work, weekly practice forums, quarterly reviews and the option to move between practice families, geographies or client portfolios as your career grows.

What does the Numata hiring process involve?

Four steps and no theatre. You apply with a CV and a short note on what you want to build, no cover letter required. You then have a 30 minute conversation with the hiring practice lead about the work, the standard and the fit both ways. Next is a practical exercise or working session grounded in real client scenarios. Finally we make an offer with clear scope, standard and compensation, so you know what you are joining before you say yes.

Does Numata offer remote or hybrid working?

We are an in-office practice, mostly. Our people work together from one of our hubs in Johannesburg, London, Dublin, Miami or Hong Kong, because the way we build strategists, engineers and analysts depends on people learning alongside each other. Service desk and MSOC roles also follow shift and on-site cover patterns, since clients depend on 24/7/365 coverage. There is flexibility where the work genuinely allows it, and the working pattern for your role is confirmed in the first conversation with the practice lead.

Is Numata an equal opportunities employer?

Yes. Numata is a people-first business and we recruit, promote and pay on merit and capability. We do not discriminate on race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, nationality or any other protected characteristic. We assess every candidate against the same practical standard, and we make reasonable adjustments to the interview process on request. Tell us what you need when you apply.

Can I apply if there is no matching role advertised?

Yes. Openings move quickly and are filled directly by the practice leads, so the disciplines listed on this page are the best guide to where we hire. Send a CV to careers@numata.co and it routes to the practice lead for your discipline. We keep strong profiles on file and come back to them when a role opens in the relevant hub.
