  • Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks and dependencies proactively.
  • Facilitate Agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and reviews) to promote team efficiency and transparency.
  • Provide clear and consistent communication to executives, sponsors, and stakeholders through status reports and presentations.
  • Drive alignment between business goals and technical execution.
  • Lead end-to-end project delivery across multiple streams (payments, open banking, lending platforms, digital wallets, regtech, data platforms).
  • Create and maintain detailed project roadmaps, sprint plans, and OKRs.
  • Manage Agile delivery teams (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) while integrating DevOps / DevSecOps practices into project execution.
  • Oversee collaboration across engineering, QA, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and compliance teams.
  • Ensure delivery aligns with ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, PSD2, SAMA, and SOC 2 compliance standards.
  • Drive adoption of cloud-native solutions (AWS, Azure, GCP), API-first development, and microservices architectures.
  • Collaborate with Product Owners and Business Analysts to refine backlog, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
  • Monitor and control budgets, risks, and quality, ensuring timely delivery.
  • Prepare and deliver executive-level dashboards, KPIs, and project health reports.
  • Mentor junior PMs and engineers, promoting best practices in Agile and secure software delivery.

Requirements

  • Proven success in delivering large-scale, client-facing fintech platforms.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, budgets, and timelines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management, negotiation, and communication skills.
  • Deep understanding of Agile frameworks, DevSecOps integration, and CI / CD pipelines.
  • Strong knowledge of cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP), microservices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and API ecosystems.
  • Familiarity with AI / ML use cases in Fintech (fraud detection, credit scoring, risk analysis).
  • Solid grasp of cybersecurity and regulatory compliance in finance.
  • Experience with project management tools such as Jira, MS Project, Confluence, or similar platforms.
