Role Summary

We are looking for a Russian-speaking, hands-on Project Manager with strong Product Management skills to join a small, early-stage fintech environment.

This is a full-time role working EST hours. Fintech experience is preferred.

• Turn vague or incomplete business requests into clear requirements, user flows, low-fidelity wireframes, user stories, acceptance criteria, backlog items, and delivery plans.
• Own backlog refinement and prioritization based on business value, urgency, risk, dependencies, and engineering effort.
• Plan and coordinate sprints and releases while managing scope, blockers, risks, dependencies, and changing requirements.
• Work closely with the CTO, engineers, and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve product and technical tradeoffs, make practical decisions, and keep key changes documented.
• Strong software Project Management experience with hands-on Product Management or Business Analysis skills, including requirements discovery, prioritization, user stories, acceptance criteria, backlogs, sprints, dependencies, and releases.
• Proven ability to turn vague business ideas into clear requirements, user flows, low-fidelity wireframes, and executable plans using Figma, Balsamiq, Miro, FigJam, Whimsical, or similar.
• Comfortable working directly with CTOs and engineers, discussing technical constraints, challenging assumptions, and making product decisions in a fast-changing early-stage environment.
• Strong written and spoken English; stable employment history, typically 2–3+ years per company, or credible explanations for shorter engagements.
• Fintech, payments, banking, B2B SaaS, financial operations, or other regulated-industry experience is strongly preferred.
