You’ll be part of a fast-growing team, working at the intersection of payments, e-money, and crypto. If you're naturally curious, passionate about financial technology, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is the role for you.

This is a high-impact position that calls for deep, hands-on knowledge of payment schemes and e-money wallets. You’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, and clients to deliver real business value every day. There’s a lot to discover, and as we grow, you’ll have plenty of room to grow with us.

• Draft both technical documentation and non-functional requirements that describe how systems should behave and establish their functionality constraints
• Write test cases for user stories
• Perform/coordinate user acceptance testing to ensure functionality meets business needs before each product release
• Secure approval & change management activities with product manager before release
• Analyse and model business processes to identify gaps and improve IT products and services

What are we looking for?

Essential

• A minimum of 7 years of business analysis or project management experience
• Extensive experience in the blockchain industry (crypto exchange, custodian, stablecoin issuer, infrastructure provider, etc.)
• Experience (or at least strong interest in) payment applications
• Experience gathering and consolidating requirements from cross-functional groups
• Experience of working closely with Compliance and Legal teams
• Strong attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills
• Excellent verbal/written communication and data presentation skills, including an ability to effectively communicate with both business and technical teams
• Exceptional process and organisational skills with the ability to mobilise change
• Advanced knowledge of project/product management platforms (JIRA & Confluence strongly preferred)
• Advanced knowledge of common data-manipulation tools (SQL, Google Sheets)
• Advanced knowledge of data analytics platforms (Looker preferred)
• Experienced in both lean and agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)

Desirable

• IIBA-CCBA certification preferred
• An understanding of current crypto regulations
• Basic proficiency in at least one of the most commonly used backend programming languages (Python, Node.JS, Java, PHP, GO, C#, C++)
• Some experience with testing
• Familiar with version control tools and proper branching techniques (Gitlab preferred)
• Experience working with data warehouses (Google Cloud BigQuery), data governance, payments and treasury or capital markets systems
