We're looking for an experienced and dynamic Project Manager to join our team, playing a crucial role in delivering complex, multi-platform projects that have a direct impact across our business.

• Reporting: You will provide clear, concise, and regular reports on project status, progress, and risks to senior stakeholders.

• Implementing Your Own Plans: This isn't just about executing someone else's vision. We're looking for someone who can create and implement their own comprehensive project plans.

What We're Looking For:

• Hands-On Project Experience: A proven track record of creating and implementing your own project plans from the ground up.

• Financial & Payments Expertise: Ideally, you will have a strong background in a finance or payments project environment.

• Multi-Platform Implementation: Significant experience with multi-platform implementations that span multiple business areas. You may have served as a finance change lead on a complex, multi-faceted program.

• Experience in New Ventures: Any experience in setting up brand new business activities or working on re-platforming projects will be a major advantage.
