Project Manager - Mass Payments

Project Manager - Mass Payments

Location: High Wycombe Office

Background

Ebury Mass Payments (EMP) is a non-banking financial institution which provides cross border payments
and foreign exchange services. It is a major supplier of payment services for international payroll,
usually through aggregator clients like payroll providers, who bring their underlying corporate
clients to EMP.

It has enjoyed substantial growth over recent years and is now entering a new phase of business
development to address larger customers in its current business markets and to open new sectors
that have aggregator style customers.

To support this objective, EMP will need a new technology solutions that can
1. Provide the key features necessary to open new business vertical markets and address
larger organisations in its current verticals
2. Allow EMP to increase business volumes by an order of magnitude with a similar size of
operations team
3. Sustain highest levels of customer service for maximum retention

Ebury Mass Payments - Implementation

Having completed an RFP and a Proof of Concept with our preferred supplier, EMP has embarked
upon the implementation of a future business processing model, covering the core Trading, Cash
Management, Payments and Reconciliation processes, along with integrations with other key
services like Commercial, Compliance, Accounts and Data.

During the implementation project, as well as in the longer term, EMP will need to ensure that the
platform capabilities conform to both functional as well as non-functional requirements. There will
be a need to work closely with the platform provider to ensure the final version implemented in
production is fit for purpose prior to go-live.

Operations

Once in full production operation, the EMP team will continue to manage the products and services
that have been implemented to gain commercial and competitive advantage and open new
markets and operational locations.

Project Manager Position

Background

Ebury Mass Payments (EMP) is implementing new systems support for its growing business of
International Mass Payments. EMP is partnering with an external vendor, Geniusto, to achieve
business growth targets to increase turnover by an order of magnitude without significant growth in
operational team size.

Geniusto are providing EMP with a licensed product that we are customising to suit our needs. The
product development and SIT will be done by Geniusto, but the requirements, release scoping and
UAT testing are EMPs responsibility.

Completing the project on time and delivering value to customers and to EMP is at the heart of this
initiative, and to this extent we are looking for a project manager to help keep all efforts together,
track progress and foster collaboration.

Job Profile

This is preferably a permanent position, although it could also be a contract role for a short term if
required.

The candidate will work closely with the Geniusto counterpart PM on all aspects of project delivery
that involve Geniusto, and will collaborate with her on a day to day basis as needed. The candidate
will be responsible for creating overall project plans based on scope of requirements, Geniusto’s
delivery timelines and testing timelines, and most importantly tracking progress against this plan for
senior stakeholder reporting.

At a more granular level, the candidate will need to track release numbers and contents of every
release, follow up on defect and functional deliveries that were promised by the vendor, track
defect statuses and make sure all relevant artefacts are updated.

The candidate would be expected to track invoices and expenses against existing contracts, and
manage CRs / modifications to those contracts. To round it off, the candidate will also be
responsible for creating go-live plans with detailed activity workbooks and coordinate amongst
stakeholders for executing those plans.

Candidate Experience

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic project manager who has recent experience working
at a bank and/or a fintech company to manage payment projects. Ideally, he/she must have
experience of this role at the client side and working with vendors. The individual must be dynamic
with good communication and demonstrable organisational skills. We need someone who is not
afraid of dealing with some chaos or uncertainty, and who is keen to bring some order and
discipline to a project that will grow very fast and is already on the radar of the C-Suite. This is a
great opportunity for the candidate to make a positive difference and use his/her skills to help
deliver a lot of value to the company.
