About the role
The company is looking for a project manager to run delivery across client implementations and the engineering sprint cycle. Deployments are real bank projects: scoping, environment setup, integrations, user acceptance testing, go-live, and hypercare, often in parallel across several institutions. You will keep those projects moving, maintain healthy two-week sprints, and act as the operational link between engineering, product, and client teams.
Responsibilities
- Plan and run client implementation projects end to end, from kickoff and scoping through UAT, go-live, and hypercare.
- Own project plans, timelines, and risk registers, keeping them current as scope evolves.
- Track delivery in ClickUp and report progress accurately to leadership and client stakeholders.
- Support sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives with the product owner, and protect the team’s capacity.
- Coordinate UAT cycles with bank clients: collect and triage feedback, drive bug resolution, and manage sign-off gates.
- Manage dependencies across parallel deployments, cloud and on-premises, and escalate blockers early.
- Work with engineering on release planning, change control, and rollback readiness for regulated clients.
- Maintain project documentation, including status reports, meeting notes, decision logs, and handover material.
Required qualifications
- At least 3 to 4 years of experience managing software delivery projects, ideally client-facing, and in the banking industry.
- Working knowledge of agile delivery in practice: sprints, backlogs, estimation, and definitions of ready and done.
- Experience running UAT with enterprise clients and driving formal sign-off.
- Fluency with project management tools such as ClickUp or Jira, including dashboards and reporting.
- A solid grasp of risk management and scope control, with the judgment to push back when needed.
- Enough technical literacy to hold a conversation with engineers about APIs, environments, and releases.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- A bachelor’s degree in computer science, business, or a related field.
Nice to have
- Delivery experience in fintech, banking, or another regulated industry with formal change control.
- A PMP, PRINCE2, or scrum certification.
- Arabic or French language skills.
- Experience working with hybrid or distributed teams.
Team values
- Honest status reporting, including sharing bad news early.
- Clear documentation and knowledge sharing.
- Respect for the team’s focus and capacity.
- Continuous improvement over blame.
- Client trust built on predictable delivery.
