This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Technical Project Manager: Digital Payments based in the United States.
This role offers the opportunity to own a critical workstream within a larger, multi-team digital payments program.
You will take an existing MVP from active development through rollout, production readiness, and the definition of its next-generation capabilities.
The position combines project leadership with hands-on technical and tactical analysis, requiring you to understand both delivery details and broader business objectives.
You will coordinate engineers, technical leads, business stakeholders, and client teams to maintain momentum and resolve complex dependencies.
A key part of the role will be shaping V2 requirements, priorities, scope, and delivery plans based on stakeholder needs and lessons from the MVP.
You will operate in the fast-moving financial technology space, with exposure to payment systems and modern cloud environments.
The role is well suited to a technically fluent project leader who can bring structure, clarity, and momentum to complex digital initiatives.
Accountabilities:
- Own the day-to-day management and delivery of an assigned workstream within a larger, multi-team digital payments program.
- Coordinate technical and cross-functional teams to keep the MVP rollout on schedule and support a successful transition into production.
- Drive V2 definition and scoping by working with stakeholders to clarify business needs, technical requirements, priorities, and delivery expectations.
- Apply tactical technical analysis to understand system details, dependencies, constraints, and implementation considerations rather than focusing solely on schedules and status reporting.
- Track milestones, progress, dependencies, resource needs, and timelines across the workstream.
- Identify risks, blockers, and delivery issues early, escalating appropriately and partnering with technical leads to develop effective solutions.
- Facilitate alignment across engineering, business, program, and client stakeholders around status, decisions, priorities, and tradeoffs.
- Translate complex technical information into clear updates and actionable decisions for non-technical stakeholders and program leadership.
- Support team scaling by contributing to workforce planning, onboarding, and integration of additional engineers as the workstream grows.
- Provide clear, concise reporting on delivery progress, risks, dependencies, and key decisions to senior program leadership and client stakeholders.
- Contribute to a disciplined, collaborative delivery environment focused on successful MVP rollout and sustainable V2 development.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience managing technical workstreams or projects within larger, multi-team technology programs.
- Professional experience in financial services, with exposure to payments, credit, debit, ACH, or related financial transaction systems.
- Background in software engineering, technical project delivery, systems analysis, or another discipline providing strong technical fluency.
- Experience working with products or systems where an MVP is already in flight and the focus is shifting toward production rollout, scaling, and next-phase definition.
- Demonstrated ability to understand technical details, investigate issues, and work effectively with engineering and technical leadership.
- Experience scaling teams, including planning for additional resources and onboarding new engineers.
- Familiarity with AWS and modern cloud-based technology environments.
- Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Excellent organization and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage dependencies, competing priorities, and changing requirements.
- Clear, precise, and confident communication skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively across business, engineering, program, and client teams.
- Bachelor’s degree required; candidates without a degree may qualify with additional specialized training and/or progressively responsible technology experience equivalent to the missing years of college.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation.
- Flexible work arrangements designed to support employee well-being and productivity.
- Professional development and continuous learning opportunities.
- A collaborative culture that values creativity, innovation, and diverse perspectives.
- Opportunities to grow professionally and take on increasing responsibility.
- Exposure to complex digital payments, financial services, and fintech transformation initiatives.
- Supportive environment with opportunities to develop both technical and leadership capabilities.
- A culture focused on giving employees a voice and providing the tools needed to succeed.
- Opportunity to contribute to innovative technology solutions shaping the future of financial services.
