This Payments Delivery Manager role is focused on…

Owning complex delivery projects across four fronts:

• Clients – onboarding multinational companies, aligning requirements, and ensuring smooth go-lives.

• Banking Partners – coordinating with institutions like JPMorgan, HSBC, Danske Bank, SEB, Caixa, and others to implement accounts, payments, and rails.

• Technology Partners – managing integrations with third-party platforms and providers.

• Internal Engineering – working closely with our Payment Backend Engineer and delivery team to scope, track, and ship projects.

You’ll drive timelines, align stakeholders, and remove blockers to deliver new payment capabilities, integrations, and client implementations on time and at quality.

…and how you fit into the team:

You’ll be part of Light’s Delivery Team, ensuring that what we build doesn’t just ship—it lands. You’ll be the connector across clients, banks, partners, and engineers, turning complex financial projects into successful, on-time launches.

Your qualifications could be:

• 2–4 years of experience in project management, delivery, or client implementation in FinTech, SaaS, or banking.

• Proven success coordinating multiple external stakeholders (clients, banks, tech vendors).

• Strong understanding of payments (SEPA, SWIFT, virtual accounts, issuing, acquiring, etc.), connections (SFTP, EBICS, APIs etc) and formats (ISO XML Pain001, Pain 002, Camt.53 etc).

• Exceptional communication skills: you keep clients confident, banks aligned, and engineers unblocked.

• Highly organized with experience managing multiple projects in parallel.

• Comfortable with project management practices (Agile, Kanban) and tools (Jira, Notion, etc.).

Bonus points:

• Direct experience working with banks on integrations, account setups, or payments projects.

• Background in consulting, delivery, or client onboarding in a financial/tech context.

• Familiarity with compliance/regulatory constraints in cross-border finance.

• Hands-on technical curiosity — you don’t code, but you can translate between business and engineering.
