About Utorg
Founded in 2019, Utorg builds the infrastructure behind stablecoin payments: on/off-ramps, self-custodial wallets, and crypto cards. Over 2 million users across 130+ countries already buy, hold, and spend crypto through our app. On the B2B side, the same rails power 2,100+ platforms, with $2.4B+ moved to date.
Fully MiCA-authorized across the EEA. PCI DSS Level 2 certified. Backed by Dragonfly, TA Ventures, and Hypra.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Project Manager with a mandatory Fintech background to spearhead the delivery of our Mobileapp 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.
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).
