OtherProject ManagerProject & Program Management

Yassir is the leading super App in the Maghreb region set to changing the way daily services are provided. It currently operates in 45 cities across Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia with recent expansions into France, Canada and Sub-Saharan Africa. It is backed (~$200M in funding) by VCs from Silicon Valley, Europe and other parts of the world.

We offer on-demand services such as ride-hailing and last-mile delivery. Building on this infrastructure, we are now introducing financial services to help our users pay, save and borrow digitally.

Helping usher the continent into a digital economy era. We’re not just about serving people - we’re about creating a marketplace to bring people what they need while infusing social values.

Role Summary

We’re hiring a Project Manager to drive execution of strategic and operational projects in Financial Services.You’ll run structured delivery across a wide range of initiatives — launching new services, integrating external partners, rolling out compliance and KYC/KYB policies, improving cash operations with agents/super agents, enabling new payment flows, etc.

You sit in the middle of Product, Compliance, Finance/Treasury, Engineering, Ops, and Growth. Your job is simple: keep the plan real, keep owners accountable, and land the project in production with minimal drama.

1. Project Delivery :

Own and drive end-to-end delivery of Financial Services projects from kick-off through launch.

Build and maintain clear project plans: scope, milestones, owners, deadlines, risks.

Push the project forward daily, unblock issues, and escalate when needed (before it’s on fire).

2. Cross-Functional Coordination :

Align Product, Engineering, Compliance, Finance/Treasury, Ops, Growth, and external partners around one plan.

Make sure each team knows: what they owe, by when, and what happens if they slip.

Capture decisions in writing and circulate updates so there is one source of truth.

3. Regulatory & Compliance Readiness :

Work with Compliance to ensure that projects respect internal policies (KYC/KYB, limits, AML triggers, cash handling, reporting).

Collect required documentation (policies, procedures, approval flows) and make sure they’re in place before go-live.

4. Operational Readiness :

Ensure operational teams (agent network, support, finance ops, treasury, etc.) are ready to run the flow on Day 1.

Confirm that we know: who monitors transactions, how refunds or reversals work, escalation path for incidents, and how money settles.

5. Launch & Stabilization :

Coordinate testing/UAT and sign-offs.

Run the go-live checklist and confirm all blockers are closed.

Monitor early performance and ensure any urgent post-launch fixes get an owner.

On-time delivery of committed milestones.

Quality of launch (no major incident in first days/weeks).

Internal alignment: Compliance, Finance, and Ops signing off before go-live (not after).

Clarity of communication — no surprises for leadership.

Must-haves :

~2–4 years of experience in fintech / payments / banking / telecom value-added services / PSP / wallet / financial operations / similar high-ownership environment.

You’ve previously managed or coordinated delivery of cross-functional projects (not only “followed up,” but actually drove timelines).

You’re comfortable sitting with engineers to clarify requirements AND sitting with Ops/Treasury to confirm how money moves.

You’re disciplined with tracking: action logs, RAID logs (Risks / Assumptions / Issues / Dependencies), status reports.

Strong written communication. If something isn’t written down, you assume it’s not real.

Nice to have :

Exposure to regulated financial products (wallets, P2P, bill payment, settlement, limits/KYC).

Understanding of how funds flow, settlement/reconciliation, refunds, or cash collection works.

Familiarity with compliance topics (KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, limits by tier, AML escalation paths).

Experience coordinating external partners / vendors / billers.

Soft skills we care about

You escalate early, not emotionally.

You follow through. People learn that if you say “I’ll track this,” it’s tracked.

You’re comfortable saying “no, we’re not ready to launch yet” if Compliance/Finance hasn’t signed off.

You like structure. When there is none, you create it.
