About This Role
This role is about steering the build and launch of a fintech payment gateway and wallet platform in Ethiopia—a sector with rapid growth and regulatory nuances. It suits a project manager who thrives in Agile environments and can bridge technical teams with business stakeholders. Pitron Tech Solutions appears to be a local tech firm, so expect hands-on involvement and direct accountability for delivery.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 3+ years of experience suggests they want someone who has already navigated the complexities of software projects, not just generic PM work. The emphasis on Agile (sprint planning, reviews) means they value adaptive planning and iterative delivery. They are likely seeking a candidate who can translate technical jargon into actionable plans for non-technical stakeholders.
How to Approach This Application
Emphasize your experience with Agile ceremonies—sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives—and how you’ve handled risk tracking in past software projects. Highlight any fintech or payment platform familiarity, even if indirect, as it shows you understand the regulatory and security sensitivities. Tailor your CV to show quantifiable outcomes: on-time deliveries, risk mitigation successes, or cross-team coordination wins.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best for a mid-level PM with a solid tech background who enjoys the pace of fintech and is comfortable working in a local company with high ownership. Competition will be moderate, as the fintech space in Ethiopia is growing but still niche.
We are looking for a Project Manager to oversee the planning, coordination, and execution of a fintech payment gateway and wallet platform. The ideal candidate should have experience managing cross-functional teams, tracking timelines and deliverables, coordinating with stakeholders, and ensuring smooth project execution in agile development environments.
Responsibilities
* Manage project timelines, deliverables, and milestones.
* Coordinate activities across engineering, QA, security, and product teams.
* Track project progress and identify risks proactively.
* Facilitate sprint planning, reviews, and stakeholder meetings.
* Ensure successful project delivery within agreed timelines.
3+ years of project management experience.
* Experience managing software development projects.
* Strong knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies.
* Experience using Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar project management tools.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
* Experience in fintech, payments, or banking projects is preferred.
