Role
Who you are
- 3-5+ years of experience in project management, operations, or program management, preferably in fintech, payments, or financial services
- Strong track record of delivering complex, cross-functional projects on time and managing multiple stakeholders across different levels of the organization
- Excellent organizational and planning skills; ability to juggle multiple projects in parallel

What the job involves
- As the Project Manager on our Operations Team, you will lead cross-functional operational initiatives to ensure we deliver scalable, reliable, and compliant services
- You’ll work with stakeholders across product, risk, compliance, customer support, and engineering to drive projects from inception through execution
- Your role will be both strategic and tactical: you’ll define processes, track metrics, remove bottlenecks, and ensure that organizational goals are met on time and to specification
- Lead end-to-end execution of key projects: defining scope, setting timelines, allocating resources, and tracking deliverables
- Identify and proactively manage risks, dependencies, and issues, escalating and resolving blockers across internal and external stakeholders
- Define, document, and improve workflows to increase efficiency, reduce risk, and ensure consistency
- Collaborate with Legal & Compliance to ensure projects conform to regulatory requirements, audit readiness, and security protocols

- Drive continuous improvement in project management practices (tools, templates, communication, risk tracking)
- Opportunity to work on impactful projects that can really shape the organization, from implementing new technology solutions to launching new business lines
- Exposure to many parts of the business: compliance, risk, engineering, customer support, and product
- True ownership from the onset, with the right level of support and guidance to help you succeed. You won’t be micromanaged and will have autonomy
Our take
Brigit is an algorithm-based personal finance app that helps underserved financial customers maintain financial health. It offers a raft of protective services including cash bumps to fend off overdraft charges, budgeting tools, and interest-free emergency loans.
In spite of this financially-oriented spread, Brigit has no intention of expanding into neo-banking. This is smart, as it allows the company to focus on a broad range of banner services without stepping into the far more competitive digital banking sector. Brigit has successfully united these disparate features under a strong customer-forward and socially-impactful identity, which gives the company the freedom to expand its services in response to new banking trends without diluting its brand.
It means, too, that Brigit can complement new and legacy banking solutions, instead of competing for space. This careful positioning should shore Brigit up in a sector undergoing continual and swift change.
