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
