Senior Project Manager / Technical Project Manager (TPM)

Everyone passionate about innovation wants to make the world a better place. That is exactly what we are doing at Utorg. By developing innovative fintech products that bridge traditional finance and blockchain technology, we are creating a gateway that unlocks global opportunities for users and businesses alike.

We ship with a product-led mindset, but we execute with an engineering heart. In a fast-moving, regulated environment, we don't just need "trackers" - we need technical navigators.

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with a mandatory Fintech background to spearhead the delivery of our Mobile app ecosystem (crypto wallet, card, and investment product line). This is a role for a hands-on leader who can move seamlessly between a high-level roadmap and a deep-dive technical discussion.

You will lead cross-functional squads, owning the delivery lifecycle from technical discovery to production. You will be the primary driver of execution, ensuring our products are scalable, secure, and delivered with surgical precision.

• Transform engineering delivery into a predictable "Black Box." 

• Ensure an accuracy rate of over 80% in "Plan vs. Fact" and liberate C-level executives from operational micromanagement.

1. Predictability & Delivery Governance

• Own the Forecast: You are responsible for the realism of our deadlines. You don't just record estimates; you facilitate decomposition and challenge "3-hour" estimates that should be "3 days."

• Jira as Source of Truth: Maintain perfect hygiene in project tooling. Ensure blockers are surfaced immediately, and progress is transparent to all stakeholders without manual pings.

2. Requirement Grooming

• Bridge the Gap: Orchestrate the team to translate the CPO's high-level vision into detailed, actionable User Stories with clear Acceptance Criteria.

• Gatekeeping: Ensure no task enters a sprint without being "Ready for Development," preventing "dumb product/tech decisions" at the source.

3. Team Dynamics & Facilitation

• The Buffer: Act as a constructive bridge between the team members. Resolve friction and ensure technical debates result in actionable plans.

• Operational Discipline: Push the team to maintain tracking and documentation standards.

• Technical Savvy: A background in QA, Analyst, or Engineering is highly preferred. You must understand APIs, Backend architecture, and CI/CD enough to "smell" unrealistic technical claims.

• Assertive Mindset: The ability to say "No" to raw requirements and "No" to half-baked estimates. You are the "Sheriff" of the process.

• Pragmatic Agile: Experience adapting frameworks (Scrum/Kanban) to small, fast-moving teams. You care about delivery, not just ceremonies.

• Experience: 5+ years in IT Project/Delivery Management in Fintech or regulated environments.

• Languages: Professional English and Russian (required).

• Predictability: The team hits its committed sprint goals with <20% deviation in time estimates.

• Autonomy: The C-Level is no longer involved in validating individual technical tasks.

• Work fully remote as part of an agile, international team reshaping the future of finance.

• Competitive salary range based on individual performance review.

• Opportunities for career progression and professional development in a forward-thinking fintech environment.

• Ownership Culture. Join a transparent environment that rewards open dialogue and measures your success by the visible impact.

• Mission-critical Engineering. Contribute your expertise to fintech products where transparency, security, and technical savvy are not just buzzwords, but the foundation of our architecture.
