Senior Strategic Projects Manager

About us

Traditional banking has never really given you control over your financial life. Satispay exists to change that: to empower people through finance.

That means making financial services easy and accessible for over 6.5M users. We started with payments, then benefits, investing, cards... and we’re not done. Not even close. We follow the same logic every time: find a real problem, solve it properly, then look for the next one. The destination? To build the most loved financial platform in the world. If you own outcomes rather than tasks, stay close to what users need, and refuse to wait for someone else to fix what's broken — you'll find people here who work exactly in the same way. And together, you'll build something worth being proud of.

What you'll be doing

As our Senior Strategic Projects Manager, you'll manage the most complex, ambiguous, and high-impact strategic projects and programs across the company.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

• Project management leadership and initiative delivery - Leading large-scale projects or transformational initiatives with high uncertainty and major initiatives that require extra effort and delivering exceptional results.

• Solve complex business challenges - Tackling intricate business problems by developing innovative, data-backed solutions with a consistent user-first approach.

• Stakeholder management and strategic partnership - Managing relationships with C-level stakeholders and acting as a thought partner for leadership on specific strategic areas.

• Strategic influence - Influencing major decisions through in-depth analysis and proven insights, integrating diverse perspectives into coherent strategies.

• Champion methodology and best practices - Developing and introducing new methodologies, best practices, or frameworks within the team or company ensuring a consistent user-first approach.

• Team support and mentoring - Providing support for other team members (even without direct hierarchical responsibility).

• Culture building - Influencing broader team or departmental strategies to foster a high-performance culture, raising performance standards, and balancing swift action with thoughtful planning.

• Resource optimization - Playing a strategic role in managing resources at the organizational level, designing systems and processes that optimize the use of time, money and talent across the company.

Who we're looking for

This role needs someone equipped with exceptional strategic judgment, strong execution drive, and the ability to steer high-stakes initiatives in ambiguous environments.

• Professional background - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, or a related field, combined with 5–8 years of experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or high-growth tech environments, with a strong track record in product and technology-led initiatives and effective partnership with Product and Engineering leadership.

• Large-scale projects leadership - Extensive experience owning large-scale, cross-functional projects with high uncertainty, setting governance and operating cadence, driving accountability across teams, managing critical path and systemic risks, and being accountable for outcomes and delivery impact.

• Strategic judgment in ambiguity - Proven ability to independently frame ambiguous, high-stakes problems, define strategic narratives and decision criteria, pressure-test options and second-order effects, and drive executive-level trade-offs that translate into measurable business outcomes.

• Executive influence and alignment - Outstanding ability to influence C-level stakeholders through crisp executive storytelling and decision-ready outputs, shaping alignment in contentious contexts, handling pushback constructively, and steering discussions toward clear decisions and commitments.

• Transformation expertise - Demonstrated depth in one or more strategic domains or transformation types, leveraging best practices to anticipate pitfalls, define scalable approaches, and guide teams through execution and change-management implications.

Don't worry if you don't tick every box. We believe in the power of different viewpoints and strengths. Your unique perspective is important as we build something special: if you're passionate and can make a difference, we truly encourage you to apply.
