About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Project Manager who can operate independently from day one - owning delivery contracts, evaluating and giving feedback on technical resources, and executing end-to-end delivery across complex fintech engagements. This is not a coordination or reporting role. You will be expected to assess engineering estimation, challenge scope, and make commercially sound decisions in a financial services context.

Responsibilities

  • Own delivery of assigned projects: scope control, schedule, budget, quality, and risk across multiple concurrent engagements
  • Evaluate technical resources assigned to projects - assess capability, provide structured feedback, and make resourcing recommendations to leadership
  • Challenge and validate engineering estimations; identify technical risks before they become delivery problems
  • Define and figure out scope independently in mid-to-late project phases where requirements are ambiguous or evolving
  • Lead integration work with multiple external vendors (core banking, market data, payment gateways, cloud providers)
  • Represent client interests when negotiating with vendors (pricing, SLAs, funding programs such as AWS)
  • Manage subcontractors: selection, onboarding, performance monitoring, and invoices
  • Run regular client governance (status, escalations, acceptance criteria, UAT) at CTO/PMO level
  • Produce and maintain project artefacts: plans, RAID logs, integration specs, cutover plans
  • Ensure compliance with client security and regulatory requirements relevant to banking/securities

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in IT project management
  • Hands-on experience delivering at least 2 software projects for banks or securities firms
  • Sufficient software development knowledge to evaluate tech team estimations, identify scope gaps, and challenge technical decisions
  • Working knowledge of financial products and operations - lending, trading, payments, securities - beyond consumer-level familiarity
  • Proven ability to own and define ambiguous scope in later project phases; not limited to task tracking and progress reporting
  • Experience evaluating developer and BA profiles, providing structured performance feedback, and making resourcing calls independently
  • Proven experience managing multi-vendor integrations (APIs, batch feeds, middleware)
  • Strong vendor negotiation experience with documented commercial outcomes (cost savings, SLA improvements, or secured credits)
  • Excellent stakeholder management - able to interact confidently and independently with bank CTOs/PMOs
  • Experience managing subcontractors and remote teams
  • Structured communicator: executive-level project documentation and status reporting
  • Vietnamese (native) + business-level English for vendor / partner / client discussions
  • Expert in Agile and Waterfall; able to design and adapt delivery frameworks per engagement

Nice to have

  • Certifications: PMP, Prince2, or Certified ScrumMaster
  • Background in securities trading operations, FIX protocol, or core banking platforms
  • Prior experience with AWS commercial programs and cloud migration projects
  • Experience building or working alongside AI/automation development teams

What Makes You Successful in This Role

  • Client-first mindset with strong commercial judgment
  • Comfortable making decisions in ambiguous situations
  • Strong prioritization and escalation skills
  • Pragmatic, negotiation-oriented, and detail-focused
  • Able to balance relationship management with delivery discipline

Success Metrics in the First 6 Months

  • Successfully hand over and stabilize delivery for at least 1 large integration project with agreed timeline and quality expectations
  • Drive vendor negotiations that help reduce client cost or secure additional support, with clear documentation of outcome
  • Keep scope creep caused by missed requirements to below 5%
  • Maintain positive client satisfaction results in line with target CSAT
