What's the opportunity?

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead and own the end-to-end pipeline of the Integrations team: from new connections with processors and APMs to improvements and optimizations in existing integrations. This is a highly visible role, with a strong focus on execution, executive communication, stakeholder management, and the ability to demand timely decisions and delivery.

What will I be doing?

Strategy & Planning

Build and maintain the unified Integrations pipeline: intake, prioritization, scheduling, and dependencies by country, partner, and product.

Consolidate requirements (business, technical, regulatory) and define measurable acceptance criteria.

Balance "new connections" vs. "enhancements" initiatives with a focus on impact (volume, performance, risk, compliance).

Execution & Delivery

Orchestrate the end-to-end delivery plan: kickoff, milestones, QA/UAT, release, and post-release.

Anticipate and remove blockers; escalate executive issues when necessary.

Ensure traceability in Jira (statuses, due dates, links, epics), and weekly/monthly reporting.

Governance & Processes

Establish and improve operational rituals, including stand-ups, program weeklies, release committees, and post-mortems.

Define response SLAs across teams (Product, Engineering, Ops, CS, Compliance/InfoSec) and with external partners.

Promote best practices: definition of "ready," "done," change management, and scope control.

Communication & Stakeholders

Act as the single source of truth for Integration status, providing clear, concise, and actionable communication at all levels.

Manage expectations with external partners and internal teams; align priorities and committed timelines.

Demand accountability, timely decisions, and explicit documentation of agreements.

Leadership & Culture

Raise the bar on accountability and collaboration; give and request feedback with respect and firmness.

Mentor PMs/POs/Leads in execution, risk management, and executive communication.
