VAS Project Manager (Telco)

We are looking for an experienced VAS Project Manager in Telco who will own our value-added services end to end: from the first service concept, through operator integration and testing, to launch and the daily work of keeping services healthy and growing. 
 

If you know how mobile operators actually work (billing cycles, subscription and charging flows, the difference between a VAS that launches and one that earns), this role is for you 🫵 

About Us

We are Salasto, an Iraqi game-changer in Telco, Software, Game Development, and AI, based in Dubai, UAE. 
 

Our mission is to elevate Iraq’s tech industries to a global leadership level, with rapid expansion into international markets. 
 

The team offers a chance to grow alongside professionals in Telco, FinTech, Product & Game Development – a diverse and innovative environment with top-level professionals from Europe and Iraq.

What you will do

• Run VAS projects end to end: service concept → operator integration and testing → launch → post-launch support and iteration.
• Keep everyone aligned: daily communication with operators, external partners, and internal teams; clear ownership, clear deadlines, work that actually ships.
• Own service health: monitor stability and daily performance of live services, and act before small issues become outages.
• Resolve issues at the root: diagnose where a problem genuinely originates, then fix it or route it to the right person fast.
• Coordinate delivery: delegate to internal teams and contractors, and hold the line on quality and timelines.
• Manage service content: keep VAS-facing texts and visuals current, accurate, and on-brand.
• Represent our services publicly: run our social media presence so it reflects the quality of what we build.

Must Have

1. 4+ years in Telco, with hands-on VAS experience
2. Strong grasp of core operator functionality: billing cycles, charging and subscription flows, VAS lifecycle management
3. Proven track record leading VAS projects from concept through launch
4. Ownership mindset – you spot what needs doing and do it without being asked or reminded 
5. English C1 or above (all communication inside the company and with external parties is in English; speaking Arabic or Kurdish is not a requirement)

What we offer 

1. Remote full-time position (UTC+04:00, 8-hour work day)
2. Market-leading pay and company benefits (USD-denominated salary, paid sick leave, vacation, flexible hours)  
3. Yearly performance & compensation reviews 
4. Career growth (direct trajectory into Head of VAS )
