About Local

Local is building the infrastructure that powers seamless QR commerce
across the Middle East. From cafés and restaurants to hotels, hospitals, and salons, our platform enables fast payments, tipping, loyalty, and more. Backed by a leading global VC, we're scaling rapidly across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Our mission is simple:
make transactions effortless while building an iconic fintech brand born in the GCC.

Role Overview

We're seeking a Technical Project Manager
to drive the successful delivery of high-impact projects across our tech, product, and operations teams. You'll be the go-to person for
coordination, timelines, and execution -
ensuring engineering deliverables, merchant integrations, and product rollouts stay on track.

This role requires both
strong technical understanding
(to work effectively with engineers) and
sharp project management skills
(to keep stakeholders aligned and accountable).

What You'll Do

Plan & Execute:
Own the delivery of technical projects end-to-end, from scoping and resourcing to execution and launch.

Bridge Tech & Business:
Translate product requirements into clear project plans,

ensuring engineering understands priorities and non-tech teams understand constraints.

Timeline Management:
Define schedules, track progress, manage dependencies, and escalate risks before they become blockers.

Integrations:
Coordinate POS, payment gateway, and merchant system integrations with internal developers and external partners.

Process Improvement:
Introduce tools, workflows, and agile best practices that

improve velocity and visibility.

Stakeholder Management:
Keep founders, engineers, product managers, and

merchants aligned through crisp updates and dashboards.

Quality Focus:
Ensure all deliverables are tested, stable, and meet agreed

requirements before release.

Cross-Functional Hustle:
Jump into product ops, QA, or documentation as needed to

keep projects moving.

What You'll Need

4–7 years in project or program management, preferably in a tech-first company

(fintech/saas/payments a plus).

Strong technical literacy: able to read API docs, understand system integrations, and converse fluently with engineers.

Proven track record managing multiple projects simultaneously
under tight deadlines.

Hands-on experience with project tools (Jira, ClickUp, Trello, or similar).

Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Comfort with ambiguity and a
bias for action
in a fast-moving startup environment.

PMP/Agile/Scrum certifications are a plus, but not mandatory if you have execution

chops.

What We'll Provide You

Competitive compensation and performance incentives.

Hybrid flexibility: 3 days in-office for collaboration, 2 days remote/WFH.

High-ownership role with visibility across product, tech, and operations.

Chance to scale one of the region's fastest-growing fintech startups.

Culture of speed, ambition, and creativity.

Join us to deliver the future of payments across the GCC.
