Project Manager-LK

• Delivery plans for cross-team programmes: bank and acquirer integrations, card scheme certification, market launches, platform migrations
• The critical path. Spotting which dependency will slip before it slips, and knowing what it blocks.
• Coordinating external parties on their timelines, including chasing partners who do not report to us
• Release and launch readiness: UAT scheduling, sign-offs, cutover plans, rollback plans
• Risk and issue logs people actually read, and escalating early rather than reporting a miss after the fact
• Status reporting to the leadership team, written so the reader can act on it in two minutes
• Coordinating incident response when a payment rail goes down: comms, timeline, follow-up actions

Job Requirements

• 4+ years running delivery for software or technology programmes, at least 2 involving external partners or vendors
• A project you unblocked where the blocker sat inside another organisation
• Enough technical grounding to challenge an engineering estimate and understand what an integration actually involves
• Discipline with documentation. Plans, decisions, and actions written down and kept current.
• Willingness to hold senior people to commitments they made
• PMP, PRINCE2, or Scrum certification. Worth having, though we weight shipped projects higher.
