IT Project Manager at Talent Safari

About the Role

• We're looking for an IT Project Manager to join our Africa & Asia regional team and lead the successful delivery of technology initiatives across multiple markets, working closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

What You Will Do

• Define problems, opportunities, and success outcomes, while empowering the team to determine how to get there
• Define clear project scope, constraints, and priorities to ensure delivery within set timelines
• Communicate intent through diagrams, sketches, and outlines rather than exhaustive documentation
• Communicate with users, customer support, and business stakeholders to understand needs, pain points, and strategic direction
• Pitch shaped work to the leadership team for consideration in upcoming development cycles
• Identify potential technical issues upfront and team up with senior developers to validate feasibility
• Keep specs lean and clear – just enough for the team to get started without overloading on documentation
• Review delivered work against the original intent and stakeholder needs

What You Have

• Proven experience in IT project management, preferably within the fintech, financial services, or other fast-paced, dynamic environments
• Systems thinking – ability to see how a feature fits into the bigger picture and shape it into a clear, manageable task
• UX and technical awareness – ability to sketch interface ideas and understand how they might be implemented, without being a designer or developer
• Ability to pitch ideas clearly and concisely in writing and verbally
• Customer-centric mindset
• Being comfortable with trade-offs and limiting scope to ensure projects are delivered within time constraints
• Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and carrying them forward

Bonus points for:

• Experience with large-scale software projects
• Experience with finance products and related processes

What We Offer

• Health insurance
• Performance-based bonus
• Learning, development, and career growth opportunities across an international company
• Active social agenda with team events and company initiatives
