Your Role

As a Junior Project Manager, you will support the management of a portfolio of fintech and banking client projects from the ground up. You will get hands-on exposure to project delivery, business analysis, and client relationship management within the payments and fintech space, working closely with experienced team members who will help you build a strong foundation.

This is an ideal starting point for someone early in their career who is organised, proactive, and eager to learn. As you grow into the role, there is a clear path to develop into a Technical Project Manager or Business Analyst.

What You’ll Do

Support day-to-day portfolio administration across multiple active workstreams and deliverables.

Track progress on work orders, invoicing, and payment status.

Assist in monitoring and reporting on workstream profitability.

Help maintain consistent, standardised reporting and plan issuance across client engagements.

Support daily stand-ups and team check-ins by tracking task progress and following up on outstanding items.

Liaise with clients on routine queries, escalating complex or sensitive matters appropriately.

Work closely with Technical Business Analysts to understand requirements, documentation, and delivery processes.

Maintain accurate records, trackers, and admin documentation across all supported accounts.

Get involved wherever needed across the team's workload - this is a hands-on, varied role.

‍

What We’re Looking For

A relevant business degree (with an interest or exposure to technology) - this is used as an indicator of interest and aptitude, not a strict prerequisite.

Comfortable with Office/productivity systems, and quick to pick up new tools and platforms.

Highly organised, with a natural ability to plan and structure work.

Disciplined about follow-ups and administrative detail - nothing falls through the cracks.

Strong communicator, both written and verbal, across internal teams and clients.

Resilient under pressure, particularly when dealing with complex or demanding client situations.

High attention to detail, especially around financial and reporting data.

Able to prioritise and manage multiple deliverables simultaneously.

Discreet and trustworthy with confidential client and financial information.

Proactive, with a genuine eagerness to learn and grow within the business.

Basic analytical/numerical aptitude - comfortable working with numbers and data.

Professional and composed when managing stakeholder expectations.
