This role demands a balance of strategic systems thinking and meticulous attention to detail. You\'ll work on initiatives spanning infrastructure, compliance, growth platform development, KYC technology and internal tooling —using a mix of Agile and waterfall approaches where appropriate.

• Track KPIs and project health via metrics and dashboards, iterating on reporting for clarity and impact
• Partner with Engineering Managers, Compliance Leads, and Product Managers to align on requirements, timelines, and project planning
• Communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences—including executives—with clear summaries and actionable insights
• Work closely with external vendors when required, ensuring compliance and technical standards
• Improve internal workflows through enhanced Atlassian workflows, automation, and consistent reporting mechanisms

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Technical Project Management within fast-paced, cross-functional software development environments. FinTech experience is a plus.
• Strong technical acumen, ideally with experience in engineering, KYC, compliance, or fintech environments.
• Experienced with Atlassian Suite of products (Jira, Confluence, Jira Product Discovery), and other PM tools.
• Proficient in Agile and waterfall methodologies with the judgment to apply context-dependent approaches.
• Working knowledge of scripting is a strong plus.
• Excellent communicator, with the ability to synthesize complex ideas into clear project plans and status updates.
• Self-starter with a track record of independently driving initiatives to completion.
• Curious, adaptable, and eager to experiment and iterate.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities in a dynamic industry.
