Job description

VEXCASH AG is Germany's leading online provider of short-term loans. We offer our customers a quick and straightforward solution to tide them over until their next payday. More than 800,000 customers already trust our service. Thanks to our innovative approach, they can secure financial liquidity without having to commit to a long-term arrangement.

Tasks

About the Role

We are looking for a Project Manager as freelancer to support the development and improvement of business applications and systems within a banking and financial services environment.

We are modernizing how our teams work by introducing new IT systems, automating processes and increasingly embedding AI tools. We need someone who turns a business need into a mapped process, a clear requirement and a rolled-out solution that people actually use.

What you'll work on

• Run several parallel organizational projects (typically 1-6 months, 2-4 people) that implement IT systems, automation and AI tools in business processes
• Map as-is and to-be processes together with process owners, using BPMN, flowcharts or whatever notation fits the audience
• Write business requirements for development, data and vendor teams: scope, user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases
• Set up and keep the project governance: charter, RACI, plan, risk & issue log, change requests, status reporting to management
• Drive adoption after go-live: training, feedback loops, measuring whether the process really changed

In your first 6 months you will

• Deliver at least one system or process change end to end, from as-is analysis to measured adoption
• Build a reusable project toolkit (templates, checklists) for further implementation projects

Requirements

Must have

• 3-6 years in project management or business analysis in a structured organization
• At least two cross-functional IT implementation, digitalization or automation projects taken from idea to adoption - and you can show the artifacts
• Solid process analysis and modeling skills in a standard notation (BPMN, EPC or similar)
• Experience writing business requirements that developers or vendors can build from
• A formal PM approach (PMBOK, PRINCE2, IPMA or similar) that you actually apply, not just know
• Fluent English (C1+) and good Russian
• Everyday use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude or similar) in your own work

Nice to have

• German
• PMP, PRINCE2, IPMA, CBAP or IREB certification
• Hands-on BPMN 2.0
• Basic SQL; experience with Fibery, Jira, Confluence or similar
• Experience with vendor or SaaS selection and implementation
• Background in fintech or another regulated industry

This role is probably not for you if

• You prefer moving fast over documenting decisions
• You see RACI, risk logs and change control as bureaucracy rather than tools
• You are looking for a portfolio or people-management role

Benefits

What You Can Expect

• An international environment with a dynamic, committed, and collaborative team
• A secure position at a company that has built a consistent track record of success since its foundation in 2011
