About the Role

We're looking for an IT Project Manager to join our Africa & Asia regional team and lead the successful delivery of technology initiatives across multiple markets, working closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

What You Will Do

  • Define problems, opportunities, and success outcomes, while empowering the team to determine how to get there
  • Define clear project scope, constraints, and priorities to ensure delivery within set timelines
  • Communicate intent through diagrams, sketches, and outlines rather than exhaustive documentation
  • Communicate with users, customer support, and business stakeholders to understand needs, pain points, and strategic direction
  • Pitch shaped work to the leadership team for consideration in upcoming development cycles
  • Identify potential technical issues upfront and team up with senior developers to validate feasibility
  • Keep specs lean and clear – just enough for the team to get started without overloading on documentation
  • Review delivered work against the original intent and stakeholder needs

What You Have

  • Proven experience in IT project management, preferably within the fintech, financial services, or other fast-paced, dynamic environments
  • Systems thinking – ability to see how a feature fits into the bigger picture and shape it into a clear, manageable task
  • UX and technical awareness – ability to sketch interface ideas and understand how they might be implemented, without being a designer or developer
  • Ability to pitch ideas clearly and concisely in writing and verbally
  • Customer-centric mindset
  • Being comfortable with trade-offs and limiting scope to ensure projects are delivered within time constraints
  • Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and carrying them forward

Bonus points for:

  • Experience with large-scale software projects
  • Experience with finance products and related processes

What We Offer

  • Health insurance
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Learning, development, and career growth opportunities across an international company
  • Active social agenda with team events and company initiatives
  • Define problems, opportunities, and success outcomes, while empowering the team to determine how to get there
  • Define clear project scope, constraints, and priorities to ensure delivery within set timelines
  • Communicate intent through diagrams, sketches, and outlines rather than exhaustive documentation
  • Communicate with users, customer support, and business stakeholders to understand needs, pain points, and strategic direction
