- Strategic Client Engagement: Serve as the technical interface for key client stakeholders, including external Software Engineers and internal teams
- Strong stakeholder management skills with proven ability to navigate client conversations, manage expectations, and maintain quality throughout the integration and troubleshooting process
- Fluency in English is a must. French, other local European and/or African languages are a strong plus

What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Project Manager (Integration Consultant) to work with some of the biggest and most important players in the Fintech, Payments, and E-commerce industries on the implementation of our global network
- You will be the hands-on technical expert, translating complex business needs into precise implementation design
- Integration Ownership: Drive the technical integration lifecycle, from scope analysis and solution design through rigorous UAT and post-launch optimization, helping clients utilize our global network capabilities
- Technical Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot and resolve complex integration challenges involving data mapping, latency, and system compatibility within a high-volume network
- Technical Deliverables: Interface between the client’s engineering team and internal developers, translating requirements into detailed technical specifications (e.g., sequence diagrams, data flow maps)
- System Analysis: Use internal logging/monitoring tools (e.g., OpenSearch, LogicMonitor, or other industry standards) to analyze system performance, identify integration bottlenecks, and propose data-driven improvements
Our take
The way we pay has changed considerably in recent years, but sending international payments online can still be time-consuming and overly complex. Thunes solves this problem by making cross-border payments quicker and easier.
Thunes allows businesses to process payments anywhere in the world, improving their revenue. The company has managed to differentiate itself from traditional payment platforms thanks to their flexibility, transparency and low cost. They have also avoided competing with payment giants such as PayPal, who they now number as a customer. Other clients include Uber, Deliveroo and Grab.
In 2023 Thunes opened offices in Beijing after entering the Chinese market in 2021. This coincides with $60 million in Series C funding that is going towards the expansion of Thunes into new markets via cross-border payments which, alongside China, include Latin America and the Middle East. This indicates a strengthened global reach for Thunes.
