Senior Project Manager

About Us

At TPF, we believe that payments are an essential part of our complex daily lives, and they should be as simple as possible. Founded by entrepreneurs with a successful track record in financial services, TPF is a fully licensed Electronic Money Institution committed to empowering businesses and individuals with effortless ways to make and take payments.

Through a combination of expertise, cutting-edge technology, and standout customer support, we aim to become a global leader in digital payment solutions. We embrace unconventional businesses with unique needs or those operating in emerging sectors, providing business accounts, payment processing services, digital wallets, and payment gateways to help them grow quickly and safely.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to drive execution across multiple cross-functional initiatives within The Payments Factory.

TPF operates in a complex, regulated environment spanning payments, technology, finance, risk, and compliance. This role is critical in ensuring that priorities progress as planned, dependencies are actively managed, and delivery does not stall due to lack of coordination, ownership, or follow-through.

This is a senior, hands-on delivery role requiring a high degree of autonomy, judgement, and persistence. Working closely with executive leadership and senior stakeholders, the Senior Project Manager is accountable for translating strategic intent into clear execution plans and measurable delivery outcomes across the organisation. The role reports to the CEO and works closely with senior leadership across the organisation.

Location: This is an office based or remote role. Candidates must be comfortable working with distributed teams across multiple time zones.

Main Responsibilities

• Own and drive delivery of multiple concurrent initiatives across technology, payments infrastructure, finance, reporting, and regulatory or compliance-related workstreams.
  
• Translate strategic objectives into structured delivery plans with clearly defined scope, milestones, dependencies, timelines, and ownership.
  
• Track actions, commitments, and deadlines across internal teams and external partners, ensuring consistent follow-through and delivery momentum.
  
• Identify delivery risks, blockers, and interdependencies early, driving resolution and escalating issues where required with clear context and proposed options.
  
• Work closely with Business Analysis, Product, Technology, Finance, Operations, Risk, and Compliance teams to ensure clarity of requirements and alignment between business objectives and delivery execution.
  
• Maintain oversight of delivery timelines across workstreams, supporting prioritisation decisions when resources, scope, or timelines conflict.
  
• Provide concise, outcome-focused updates to senior stakeholders and executive leadership.
  
• Introduce and maintain lightweight delivery tools, tracking, and reporting mechanisms to improve visibility, coordination, and accountability.
  
• Contribute to the ongoing evolution of delivery foundations and scalable execution practices as the organisation continues to grow.
  

What We Are Looking For

• Proven senior-level Project Management experience delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives within financial services, payments, fintech, or similarly regulated environments.
  
• Strong track record of driving execution across technology, data, operations, and governance-driven projects.
  
• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously, manage competing priorities, and maintain execution discipline in fast-paced, evolving environments.
  
• Experience working across both Agile and traditional delivery approaches, applied pragmatically based on context and business needs.
  
• Comfortable engaging with technical, financial, and regulatory subject matter at a practical level, even where not the subject-matter expert.
  
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience working directly with senior leadership, cross-functional teams, vendors, and external partners.
  
• Experience working with distributed or remote teams across multiple time zones.
  
• High attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a natural tendency toward ownership, follow-through, and accountability.
  
• Relevant professional Project Management certifications are considered an advantage.
  
  

What We Offer

• Flexible working arrangements, with the option to work remotely or from our Malta office depending on role requirements and candidate location
  
• Competitive senior-level remuneration aligned with experience and responsibility.
  
• Flexible working hours with a strong focus on outcomes rather than time tracking.
  
• Opportunity to work closely with executive leadership in a high-impact delivery role.
  
• Exposure to complex, meaningful initiatives within a regulated fintech environment.
  
• Supportive, collaborative working culture across distributed and in-office teams.
  
• Long-term growth opportunity as TPF continues to scale and mature its delivery capabilities.
  
• Support for ongoing professional development and continuous learning.
