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.

The Role

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.

Mission

• 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.

What you'll actually do

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.

What you bring

• 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).

Key Success Metric (90 Days)

• 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.

What we offer:

• 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.
