Job Description

About the Role

The Senior Project Manager position at Nymbus is a unique opportunity to lead high-stakes implementations while driving the company's transformation to an AI-native delivery organization. As a key player in Project Firehorse, you will manage complex projects, identify areas for automation, and develop AI-powered workflows.

The role requires a deep understanding of project management principles, Excel skills, and experience with AI tools such as Kiro and Claude. You will be responsible for managing scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder alignment, as well as leading client-facing delivery conversations and escalating risks early.

Nymbus operates as a remote-first organization, with occasional travel required for client onsite sessions, team collaboration, and implementation milestones.

  • Escalate risks early and with a recommended path forward
  • Partner with account management to protect client relationships during delivery complexity
  • Use AI tools as active parts of your daily workflow, such as generating implementation plans, drafting client communications, analyzing project data, diagnosing issues, and producing status artifacts
  • Participate actively in Project Firehorse, sharing what's working, contributing to shared tooling and playbooks, and helping the team move from manual coordination to automated delivery
  • Identify manual, repetitive tasks in your own workflows and find ways to eliminate or automate them
  • Document and share what you build, contributing to the development of AI-assisted RAID logs, predictive go-live risk scoring, and automated deployment readiness frameworks

What We Are Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in project management, preferably in fintech or a related field
  • Strong background in Excel and experience with AI tools such as Kiro and Claude
  • Proven track record of managing complex projects and leading cross-functional teams
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt to changing priorities
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify areas for automation and workflow optimization
  • Experience with agile project management methodologies and version control systems such as GitLab
  • Strong understanding of project management principles, including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and quality

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud-based technologies and fintech platforms
  • Knowledge of programming languages such as Python or Java
  • Certification in project management, such as PMP or Agile
  • Experience with data analysis and visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI

Benefits and Perks

  • Opportunity to work with a cutting-edge fintech company and contribute to its growth and innovation
  • Remote work environment with flexible hours and occasional travel
  • Professional development opportunities, including training and certification programs
  • Access to the latest AI tools and technologies, including Kiro and Claude
  • Collaborative and dynamic work environment with a team of experienced professionals
  • Recognition and reward programs for outstanding performance and contributions

  • Create a portfolio that showcases your project management skills, including examples of complex projects you've managed and how you've applied AI tools to improve delivery.
  • Be prepared to discuss your experience with stakeholder management, including how you've handled difficult clients or team members.
  • Highlight your analytical and problem-solving skills, and be prepared to walk the interviewer through your thought process when approaching a complex problem.
  • Don't be afraid to ask about the company culture and values, and be prepared to discuss how you'll contribute to Nymbus' AI-first approach.
