    Job description

    About the Company

    Eleving Group is a publicly listed international fintech company founded in 2012. Today, we operate in 17 countries across 3 continents, providing consumer, vehicle, and smartphone financing. With more than 4300 employees worldwide, we are driven by innovation, growth, and commitment to make financing accessible.

    Mogo's mission is to enable upward social mobility for people in diverse communities around the world by providing entrepreneurs who are excluded from traditional banking systems with access to credit. By combining asset financing, fintech, AI-based underwriting, and proprietary car portals, we enable these local entrepreneurs (motorcycle taxi riders, Uber/Bolt drivers, and small business owners) to find and purchase their own vehicles.

    About the Role

    We're looking for an IT Project Manager to join our Africa & Asia regional team and lead the successful delivery of technology initiatives across multiple markets, working closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

    What You Will Do

    • Define problems, opportunities, and success outcomes, while empowering the team to determine how to get there

    • Define clear project scope, constraints, and priorities to ensure delivery within set timelines

    • Communicate intent through diagrams, sketches, and outlines rather than exhaustive documentation

    • Communicate with users, customer support, and business stakeholders to understand needs, pain points, and strategic direction

    • Pitch shaped work to the leadership team for consideration in upcoming development cycles

    • Identify potential technical issues upfront and team up with senior developers to validate feasibility

    • Keep specs lean and clear – just enough for the team to get started without overloading on documentation

    • Review delivered work against the original intent and stakeholder needs

    What You Have

    • Proven experience in IT project management, preferably within the fintech, financial services, or other fast-paced, dynamic environments

    • Systems thinking – ability to see how a feature fits into the bigger picture and shape it into a clear, manageable task

    • UX and technical awareness – ability to sketch interface ideas and understand how they might be implemented, without being a designer or developer

    • Ability to pitch ideas clearly and concisely in writing and verbally

    • Customer-centric mindset

    • Being comfortable with trade-offs and limiting scope to ensure projects are delivered within time constraints

    • Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and carrying them forward

    Bonus points for:

    • Experience with large-scale software projects

    • Experience with finance products and related processes

    What We Offer

    • Health insurance

    • Performance-based bonus

    • Learning, development, and career growth opportunities across an international company

    • Active social agenda with team events and company initiatives
