About the role

• Project Manager driving execution of strategic and operational projects in Financial Services at Yassir. Ensuring delivery across various initiatives including payment flows and compliance.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive end-to-end delivery of Financial Services projects from kick-off through launch.
• Build and maintain clear project plans: scope, milestones, owners, deadlines, risks.
• Push the project forward daily, unblock issues, and escalate when needed (before it’s on fire).
• Align Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance/Treasury, Ops, Growth, and external partners around one plan.
• Make sure each team knows: what they owe, by when, and what happens if they slip.
• Capture decisions in writing and circulate updates so there is one source of truth.
• Work with Compliance to ensure that projects respect internal policies (KYC/KYB, limits, AML triggers, cash handling, reporting).
• Collect required documentation (policies, procedures, approval flows) and make sure they’re in place before go-live.
• Ensure operational teams (agent network, support, finance ops, treasury, etc.) are ready to run the flow on Day 1.
• Confirm that we know: who monitors transactions, how refunds or reversals work, escalation path for incidents, and how money settles.
• Coordinate testing/UAT and sign-offs.
• Run the go-live checklist and confirm all blockers are closed.
• Monitor early performance and ensure any urgent post-launch fixes get an owner.

Requirements

• ~2–4 years of experience in fintech / payments / banking / telecom value-added services / PSP / wallet / financial operations / similar high-ownership environment.
• You’ve previously managed or coordinated delivery of cross-functional projects (not only “followed up,” but actually drove timelines).
• You’re comfortable sitting with engineers to clarify requirements AND sitting with Ops/Treasury to confirm how money moves.
• You’re disciplined with tracking: action logs, RAID logs (Risks / Assumptions / Issues / Dependencies), status reports.
• Strong written communication. If something isn’t written down, you assume it’s not real.
• Nice to have : Exposure to regulated financial products (wallets, P2P, bill payment, settlement, limits/KYC).
• Understanding of how funds flow, settlement/reconciliation, refunds, or cash collection works.
• Familiarity with compliance topics (KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, limits by tier, AML escalation paths).
• Experience coordinating external partners / vendors / billers.
• Soft skills we care about: You escalate early, not emotionally.
• You follow through. People learn that if you say “I’ll track this,” it’s tracked.
• You’re comfortable saying “no, we’re not ready to launch yet” if Compliance/Finance hasn’t signed off.
• You like structure. When there is none, you create it.
