Project Manager

We’re looking for a Project Manager to help us support and scale several fintech and operational platforms for a long-term client.

These products handle critical business operations: payments, integrations, analytics, reporting, marketing workflows, internal tools, and other business infrastructure. They are not always visible to end users, but they are essential for the client’s daily operations.

Umber owns the full delivery cycle: analysis, development, QA, release, and ongoing improvements. As the number of projects grows, we need more PM capacity to keep delivery clear, structured, and moving.

We’re looking for someone who can bring order to moving parts, notice gaps, ask the right questions, follow up on blockers, and gradually take ownership of one or more delivery streams. You don’t need to be a developer. But you should be comfortable working close to technical context: APIs, integrations, statuses, edge cases, estimates, dependencies, blockers, and release risks.

What you’ll do

• Coordinate delivery across one or several active workstreams, depending on current priorities.
• Turn unclear client or internal requests into structured tasks: context, open questions, dependencies, owners, and next steps.
• Keep ClickUp / Kanban clear and up to date: statuses, priorities, blockers, owners, and next actions.
• Follow up on blockers before they become delivery risks.
• Prepare clear internal and client-facing updates: status, risks, dependencies, and next steps.
• Stay close to the CTO, developers, and QA team to understand what is blocked, what is ready, and what may affect release timing.
• Support integrations, releases, technical clarifications, and lightweight documentation where needed.
• Help improve simple delivery processes: task flow, status updates, backlog clarity, handovers, and team communication.

Who you are

• Project Manager with 2+ years of hands-on experience in software delivery.
• You have worked with software products, technical teams, integrations, fintech, SaaS, internal platforms, or similar contexts.
• You write clear and structured English. Most client and partner communication will be written.
• You understand how software delivery works: requirements, task breakdown, dependencies, estimates, testing, releases, blockers, and risks.
• You are comfortable with technical context. You don’t need to code, but you can read documentation, ask clarifying questions, and understand why a technical detail may affect delivery.
• You know how to keep a task tracker alive: statuses, priorities, owners, blockers, open questions, and next steps.
• You don’t wait for perfect input. If context is missing, you clarify, structure, and move things forward.
• You are structured and detail-oriented, but practical. We need order, not bureaucracy.

• You are comfortable in a small team where processes are still evolving and roles can overlap.

   

About the projects

We’re currently looking for PM support across several client projects, and we may hire more than one specialist for different delivery streams.

The main areas where support is needed now:

• payment aggregation and local payment provider integrations;
• internal CRM-like tools for marketing operations, budgets, reporting, and campaign performance;
• web-to-app flows and PWA-related services;

• internal operational tools for analytics, reporting, and business workflows.

   

The exact project focus will depend on current priorities, your experience, and where we see the strongest match.

In all cases, the work is close to real delivery: requirements, task tracking, releases, dependencies, technical clarifications, client/provider communication, and ongoing improvements.

What you’ll find here

• A small, hands-on team that values ownership, clarity, and common sense.
• Long-term client work in fintech, digital payments, and operational products.
• Direct access to the CTO, CEO, developers, QA, and client context.
• Processes that are not perfect yet, but real space to improve them.
• A chance to grow toward stronger PM / Business Analyst ownership as your context grows.
• Fully remote work with Eastern European time zone overlap.

We are a small team, so communication is direct and decisions are fast. There is no heavy bureaucracy, but there is a real need for ownership, clarity, and people who can make things work without waiting for perfect conditions.
