Public Speaking & Communication Teacher

Full-Time Play to Speak

About Play to Speak:

Play to Speak is an education organisation that delivers structured communication sessions across schools, colleges, and universities.

What makes us different is how we teach.

We build communication through physical, proprietary board and card games designed in-house. Our classrooms are interactive labs where students debate, persuade, improvise, structure arguments, and own the stage, all through powerful game mechanics that make learning experiential, competitive, and memorable.

We do not rely on lectures.

We build communicators through play, performance, and precision.

Role Overview:

You will lead Play to Speak sessions across assigned campuses and be directly responsible for student growth, classroom energy, and consistent execution of our pedagogy.

This is not a conventional teaching role. It requires presence, performance, structure, and the ability to inspire confidence.

Observe and develop articulation, confidence, and structured thinking

Mark and document individual student progress accurately

Provide clear, actionable feedback that helps students level up

3. Showcases & Competitive Mentorship

Design and conduct year-end showcases for assigned campuses

Prepare and mentor students for debates, MUNs, public speaking events, and competitions

Help students refine arguments, delivery, and stage confidence

4. Curriculum & Game Development

Share structured inputs to improve curriculum design

Participate in play-tests for newly developed proprietary games

Contribute feedback to enhance engagement and learning outcomes

5. Professional Representation

Maintain accurate session documentation

Coordinate smoothly with campus stakeholders

Represent Play to Speak with confidence and professionalism

The Compliance & Audit Specialist designs, implements, and assesses internal controls across IT and Development operations at Madiba. This role ensures sustained compliance with SOC 1, SOC 2, ITGC, and SOX frameworks - embedding audit readiness into day-to-day operations, SDLC phases, and DevOps pipelines - while partnering with IT, Development, Finance, and Business teams to prepare the organization for external audits with confidence.

Key Responsibilities

1. Control Frameworks & Standards

• Implement ITGC across Change Management (version control, approvals, rollback), Logical Access (provisioning, PAM, access reviews), and IT Operations (job scheduling, backup/recovery, incident management).

• Design and maintain SOC 2 Type II controls across all five Trust Service Criteria; align SOC 1 (SSAE 18 / ISAE 3402) controls for financial reporting integrity.

• Integrate SOX Sections 302 & 404 into ITGC for financially significant systems; map controls to ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 for cross-standard alignment.

2. SDLC & DevOps Compliance

• Embed ITGC and SOX compliance checkpoints across all SDLC phases (requirements through deployment), including segregation of duties, code review mandates, secure coding standards, and environment segregation (Dev / QA / UAT / Prod).

• Assess DevOps toolchains (CI/CD, repositories, configuration management) against ITGC requirements; enforce least-privilege access and SOX-compliant pipeline permissions.

• Document compliance evidence from SDLC activities for audit walkthroughs and control testing.

3. Risk Management & Audit Readiness

• Conduct periodic risk assessments and gap analyses against SOC 1, SOC 2, ITGC, and SOX benchmarks; prepare comprehensive audit evidence packages (narratives, walkthroughs, supporting documentation).

• Coordinate end-to-end external audit engagements (planning, fieldwork, closure); track and remediate findings within agreed timelines, escalating systemic issues to the Head of IS&C.

• Maintain a risk register and control deficiency log; lead BIA exercises for SOC 2 Availability (RPO/RTO); report control maturity trends to senior management quarterly.

4. Governance, Documentation & Continuity

• Develop and maintain audit-ready documentation: IT security policies, control procedures, risk registers, and RACMs; maintain a unified controls inventory mapped to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOX, and ISO standards.

• Support ITGC testing cycles (self-assessments, walkthroughs, design/operating effectiveness testing); prepare compliance dashboards for stakeholder visibility.

• Develop incident escalation protocols affecting financial reporting or SOC 2 criteria; participate in DR drills and tabletop exercises to validate SOC 2 Availability controls.

Required Skills & Experience

Technical & Domain Expertise

• Strong working knowledge of SOC 1 (SSAE 18), SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, ITGC domains, and SOX Sections 302 & 404; hands-on in all three ITGC areas.

• Practical experience applying ITGC and SOX controls within SDLC and DevOps environments (CI/CD, Git-based workflows, IaC); familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP compliance implications.

• Understanding of ISO 27001 (ISMS) and ISO 22301 (BCMS) control frameworks.

Audit, Risk & Soft Skills

• Full audit lifecycle management: planning, scoping, walkthroughs, control testing, and remediation tracking; experience preparing Type I and Type II audit evidence artifacts.

• Ability to perform independent gap analysis and risk assessments across multiple frameworks simultaneously.

• Excellent written and verbal communication - able to convey technical compliance requirements to non-technical stakeholders; collaborative across IT, Development, Finance, and Legal functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cybersecurity, or a related field.

• Professional certifications: CISA (strongly preferred); CPA with SOC specialization; CISSP, CISM, or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer; AWS/Azure security or compliance certifications.

• Prior experience in a Big 4 or mid-tier audit firm conducting IT audit or advisory engagements.

• Experience with GRC platforms (ServiceNow GRC, Archer, Vanta, Drata, or similar) for control automation; exposure to cloud-native SOC 2 readiness and continuous compliance tooling.
