Job descriptions & requirements

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end delivery of committed product initiatives across mobile, web, desktop, and backend workstreams, from scoping through to release.
• Break product requirements into clear specifications, milestones, and sprint plans together with the Head of Product.
• Work with Product and Engineering to ensure requirements, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and edge cases are clear before work enters a sprint.
• Run the delivery rhythm: sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
• Maintain the roadmap, backlog, and delivery board so priorities are visible, sequenced, and realistic.
• Track and report progress weekly: what shipped, what is in flight, what is blocked, and what is at risk.
• Manage dependencies and handoffs across engineering, design, QA, marketing, support, and field operations.
• Drive blockers to resolution and escalate early with options rather than problems.
• Own release coordination: coordinate QA and regression, drive release readiness, and coordinate the go/no-go decision.
• Coordinate operational rollouts including merchant onboarding, POS deployment, and third-party partner integrations such as payment providers.
• Run a live risk register and drive mitigation before risks become incidents.
• Keep documentation current and stakeholders aligned. Leadership should never be the ones discovering a slipped date.
• Track delivery health and velocity, and use the data to improve how we plan the next cycle.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience managing software delivery, or equivalent hands-on experience in a fast-moving product/engineering environment.
• A proven record of shipping software in a fast-moving startup or product team.
• Strong command of Agile and Scrum practices, and comfort running sprints end-to-end.
• Experience working closely with software engineers, designers, QA, and product teams.
• Fluency with delivery tooling such as Jira, Linear, Trello, or Notion.
• Technically literate: you can read API documentation, follow architecture discussions, and ask engineers the right questions without needing to write production code.
• Excellent written and spoken English. You write specs and status updates that people actually read.
• Calm under pressure and comfortable with ambiguity. You build clarity rather than waiting for it.
• Strong follow-through. You close loops without being reminded.
• Experience in fintech, payments, or SME software (nice to have)
• Experience scaling an app from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of users (nice to have).
• Exposure to offline-first or low-connectivity products(nice to have).
• Familiarity with the Nigerian and African SME market (nice to have).
• PMP, CAPM, or Scrum certification is a plus, not a requirement (nice to have).

Benefits:

• Competitive salary, negotiable based on experience.
• Real ownership and direct access to leadership. Your work ships and it matters.
• The chance to build for 28,000+ businesses tracking over $8.8M in monthly sales on the platform.
• Support for professional development and certification.
• Hybrid working with periodic in-person working sessions.
