Project Manager Position Background Ebury Mass Payments (EMP) is implementing new systems support for its growing business of International Mass Payments. EMP is partnering with an external vendor, Geniusto, to achieve business growth targets to increase turnover by an order of magnitude without significant growth in operational team size. Geniusto are providing EMP with a licensed product that we are customising to suit our needs. The product development and SIT will be done by Geniusto, but the requirements, release scoping and UAT testing are EMPs responsibility. Completing the project on time and delivering value to customers and to EMP is at the heart of this initiative, and to this extent we are looking for a project manager to help keep all efforts together, track progress and foster collaboration. Job Profile This is preferably a permanent position, although it could also be a contract role for a short term if required. The candidate will work closely with the Geniusto counterpart PM on all aspects of project delivery that involve Geniusto, and will collaborate with her on a day to day basis as needed. The candidate will be responsible for creating overall project plans based on scope of requirements, Geniusto’s delivery timelines and testing timelines, and most importantly tracking progress against this plan for senior stakeholder reporting. At a more granular level, the candidate will need to track release numbers and contents of every release, follow up on defect and functional deliveries that were promised by the vendor, track defect statuses and make sure all relevant artefacts are updated. The candidate would be expected to track invoices and expenses against existing contracts, and manage CRs / modifications to those contracts. To round it off, the candidate will also be responsible for creating go-live plans with detailed activity workbooks and coordinate amongst stakeholders for executing those plans. Candidate Experience We are seeking an experienced and dynamic project manager who has recent experience working at a bank and/or a fintech company to manage payment projects. Ideally, he/she must have experience of this role at the client side and working with vendors. The individual must be dynamic with good communication and demonstrable organisational skills. We need someone who is not afraid of dealing with some chaos or uncertainty, and who is keen to bring some order and discipline to a project that will grow very fast and is already on the radar of the C-Suite. This is a great opportunity for the candidate to make a positive difference and use his/her skills to help deliver a lot of value to the company.
