• Support the commercial organisation: Help drive critical, high-impact projects that drive the future success of the commercial team

What we are looking for
To succeed in this role, you will bring 2-4 years of hands-on experience in managing and delivering strategic projects in the FinTech, payments, and/or banking industry. Experience with expansion projects is highly desirable.

You have strong business acumen, with a deep understanding of commercial strategy, operations, and finance. You have proven track record of managing project from initiation to completion, consistently delivering results on time and to a high standard, while managing both internal and external stakeholders. You excel at breaking down complex challenges and presenting solutions in a clear and effective manner. Furthermore, you are skilled at delivering impactful communication to stakeholders, whether through presentations, proposals, decision memos, or project updates.

As a person you have a strong ability to build and maintain relationships across all organisational levels and work well in cross-functional settings.

As an international company, fluent English is required. Proficiency in German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, or Japanese would be an added bonus.
