The Role

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with a mandatory Fintech background to spearhead the delivery of our Mobileapp ecosystem (crypto wallet, card, and investment product line). This is a role for a hands-on leader who can move seamlessly between a high-level roadmap and a deep-dive technical discussion.

You will lead cross-functional squads, owning the delivery lifecycle from technical discovery to production.

Mission

• Transform engineering delivery into a predictable "Black Box."

• Ensure an accuracy rate of over 80% in "Plan vs. Fact" and liberate C-level executives from operational micromanagement.

What you'll actually do

1. Predictability & Delivery Governance

• Own the Forecast: You are responsible for the realism of our deadlines. You don't just record estimates; you facilitate decomposition and challenge "3-hour" estimates that should be "3 days."

• Jira as Source of Truth: Maintain perfect hygiene in project tooling. Ensure blockers are surfaced immediately, and progress is transparent to all stakeholders without manual pings.

1. Requirement Grooming

• Bridge the Gap: Orchestrate the team to translate the CPO's high-level vision into detailed, actionable User Stories with clear Acceptance Criteria.

• Gatekeeping: Ensure no task enters a sprint without being "Ready for Development," preventing "dumb product/tech decisions" at the source.

1. Team Dynamics & Facilitation

• The Buffer: Act as a constructive bridge between the team members. Resolve friction and ensure technical debates result in actionable plans.

• Operational Discipline: Push the team to maintain tracking and documentation standards.

What you bring

• Technical Savvy: A background in QA, Analyst, or Engineering is highly preferred. You must understand APIs, Backend architecture, and CI/CD enough to "smell" unrealistic technical claims.

• Assertive Mindset: The ability to say "No" to raw requirements and "No" to half-baked estimates. You are the "Sheriff" of the process.

• Pragmatic Agile: Experience adapting frameworks (Scrum/Kanban) to small, fast-moving teams. You care about delivery, not just ceremonies.

• Experience: 5+ years in IT Project/Delivery Management in Fintech or regulated environments.

• Languages: Professional English and Russian (required).

Key Success Metric (90 Days)

• Predictability: The team hits its committed sprint goals with <20% deviation in time estimates.

• Autonomy: The C-Level is no longer involved in validating individual technical tasks.

What we offer:

• Work fully remote as part of an agile, international team reshaping the future of finance.

• Competitive salary range based on individual performance review.

• Opportunities for career progression and professional development in a forward-thinking fintech environment.

• Ownership Culture. Join a transparent environment that rewards open dialogue and measures your success by the visible impact.

• Mission-critical Engineering.Contribute your expertise to fintech products where transparency, security, and technical savvy are not just buzzwords, but the foundation of our architecture.
