Technical Project Manager - Payments
Fixed Term contract role - 12 months
The opportunity:
I am seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager (TPM) to join a fast‑growing payments-focused technology team responsible for delivering consumer‑facing payment products. This role sits at the heart of product, engineering, and business, driving the delivery of high‑impact initiatives where security, performance, availability, and reliability are critical.
This opportunity is ideal for someone with a strong technical background (software engineering or technical lead) who has moved into Project delivery leadership and enjoys operating in complex, high‑trust environments such as payments or fintech.
You'll be joining a relatively new, innovative team with real influence over product direction and delivery outcomes.
What you will be doing in the role:
- Own the end‑to‑end delivery of multiple technical programmes supporting new consumer payment products
- Act as a bridge between engineering, product, and business stakeholders, ensuring alignment and shared understanding
- Define project scope, requirements, and delivery plans, balancing business needs against technical constraints
- Drive execution across cross‑functional teams, ensuring timelines, quality, and risk are actively managed
- Provide escalation management, proactively identifying dependencies, trade‑offs, and delivery risks
- Support the design and delivery of technical features and web‑based components
- Ensure solutions meet strict security, availability, reliability, and performance standards
- Communicate progress clearly through structured updates and stakeholder engagement
What you will need:
- Degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline
- Prior experience as a software developer or technical lead, before transitioning into a TPM / delivery role
- Proven track record delivering complex software products from concept through to deployment
- Strong experience working with cross‑functional technical and non‑technical teams
- Ability to drive delivery while managing business priorities and technical constraints
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable working in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments
Desirable experience:
- Experience in payments, fintech, or mobile payments environments
- Strong product thinking alongside programme management capability
- Familiarity with Linux, Java, and HTML
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the confidence to influence without authority
What the organisation will offer you:
You'll be part of a high‑growth payments team building innovative consumer products, with genuine opportunity to influence both delivery approach and product direction. This is a role with visibility, responsibility, and room to make a real impact.
