Company mission
To enable global merchants to connect seamlessly with billions of emerging market users.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years leading complex tech programs/projects (ideal: payments/fintech, integrations with acquirers/APMs/PSPs)
- Experience coordinating multiple squads/teams and external vendors in high-pressure environments
- Mastery of Jira/Confluence/Google Workspace; strong portfolio hygiene habits
- Functional knowledge of payment integrations (APIs, webhooks/IPN, routing, error codes, 3DS, vendor SLAs)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Spanish and English
- Ability to work with distributed teams and multiple time zones
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead and own the end-to-end pipeline of the Integrations team: from new connections with processors and APMs to improvements and optimizations in existing integrations. This is a highly visible role, with a strong focus on execution, executive communication, stakeholder management, and the ability to demand timely decisions and delivery
- Build and maintain the unified Integrations pipeline: intake, prioritization, scheduling, and dependencies by country, partner, and product
- Consolidate requirements (business, technical, regulatory) and define measurable acceptance criteria
- Balance “new connections” vs. “enhancements” initiatives with a focus on impact (volume, performance, risk, compliance)
- Orchestrate the end-to-end delivery plan: kickoff, milestones, QA/UAT, release, and post-release
- Anticipate and remove blockers; escalate executive issues when necessary
- Ensure traceability in Jira (statuses, due dates, links, epics), and weekly/monthly reporting
- Establish and improve operational rituals, including stand-ups, program weeklies, release committees, and post-mortems
- Define response SLAs across teams (Product, Engineering, Ops, CS, Compliance/InfoSec) and with external partners
- Promote best practices: definition of “ready,” “done,” change management, and scope control
- Act as the single source of truth for Integration status, providing clear, concise, and actionable communication at all levels
- Manage expectations with external partners and internal teams; align priorities and committed timelines
- Demand accountability, timely decisions, and explicit documentation of agreements
- Raise the bar on accountability and collaboration; give and request feedback with respect and firmness
- Mentor PMs/POs/Leads in execution, risk management, and executive communication

Our take
It is clearly evident that there is a massive payments gap between developed countries and emerging economies, with consumers in many countries having little or no access to modern payment options. dLocal was established in Uruguay to address this gap, which it aims to close not only for its neighbouring countries but across the globe.
Through its unique "One dLocal" concept (one direct API, one platform, and one contract), global companies can accept payments, send pay-outs and settle funds globally without separately managing pay-in and pay-out processors. The company also supplies a defense suite and local issuing for virtual and physical pre-paid cards in Latin America, as well as tools for building payments infrastructure for platforms and marketplaces.
Since founding, the company has expanded across Uruguay, the USA, Israel, Brazil and Europe. The company has seen significant growth while remaining confident and committed to its original mission. A notable achievement is dLocal becoming a certified Payment Initiation Service Provider in Brazil, which means it can eliminate unnecessary steps for users in the region.
