What you need
- Significant experience delivering and coordinating complex, cross-functional projects, ideally in fintech or regulated environments
- Proven ability to bring order to ambiguity and drive adoption of processes without formal authority
- Fluency with ClickUp (or a comparable platform), Slack, and Google Workspace
- Experience delivering merchant integrations, client onboarding, or API implementation projects
- Exceptional stakeholder management and influence without authority
- Strong cross-functional coordination skills
Nice to have
- Experience across multiple African markets
- Relevant certification (PMP, PRINCE2, AgilePM, Scrum)
What you get
- Competitive remuneration
- 35 days of paid leave per year (inclusive of public holidays) and more
Worth weighing
- No team to build or governance bureaucracy to establish, which may limit certain managerial experiences
