Manama, Manama, Bahrain RESO Full time

Be part of a team that's building smarter, simpler financial services from the ground up. As Project Manager, you'll sit at the core of strategic change, leading high-impact initiatives, aligning teams, and making sure delivery stays on track and on time.

This role is built for someone with a solid foundation in project delivery (5 to 6 years of experience) and at least one year operating within a banking environment. You'll need to be confident juggling priorities, reporting to senior leadership, and working with diverse teams across a regulated setting.

The Role:

You'll lead the planning and execution of major strategic and operational projects. From setting up governance structures and tracking KPIs to managing budgets and coordinating stakeholder meetings, this role is about bringing structure, pace, and accountability to business-critical initiatives.

You'll be hands-on in day-to-day delivery and act as a key point of contact across internal teams and external vendors. The role also requires strong reporting, documentation, and follow-up skills to support leadership in making informed decisions.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Managing the full lifecycle of multiple projects, from planning to closure.
  • Supporting executive-level governance with reporting, insight, and structured delivery updates.
  • Leading detailed delivery planning across timelines, milestones, budgets, and resource forecasting.
  • Maintaining and updating RAID logs, issue registers, and decision/action trackers.
  • Coordinating and documenting key meetings and stakeholder sessions.
  • Tracking financials and preparing cost-benefit analyses to support business cases.
  • Ensuring cross-programme dependencies are mapped and managed effectively.
  • Supporting consistent project control, governance, and delivery frameworks.
  • Capturing lessons learned and embedding continuous improvement into the delivery process.
  • Acting as the go-to person for project queries, calendar management, and resource scheduling.

What You'll Need to Succeed:

  • 5 to 6 years of hands-on project management experience across digital or operational programmes.
  • A minimum of 1 year in a banking institution or regulated financial services environment.
  • Experience managing cross-functional stakeholders, including executive leadership.
  • Proven ability to plan, execute, and close complex projects across multiple teams.
  • Strong command of Agile, PMI, or similar project delivery methodologies.
  • Skilled in Microsoft Office, particularly MS Project, Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
  • Detail-oriented, with strong follow-up, time management, and documentation skills.
  • Confident communicator, both written and verbal, across all levels of the business.
  • Comfortable operating with autonomy and managing competing priorities.
  • Bonus: experience supporting digital transformation or regionally distributed delivery.

What's in It for You:

  • A high-impact delivery role in a scaling financial business.
  • Exposure to senior stakeholders and strategic programmes.
  • A collaborative culture with room to shape how things get done.
  • Based in Bahrain with regional scope.

Next Steps:

If this sounds like the kind of challenge you're ready for, we'd love to hear from you. Send your CV or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
