Project Manager (Payments)

About Payfast

At Payfast, part of the Network International Group, we make it easy for businesses of all sizes to get paid. From startups to enterprises, our secure and reliable payment solutions help merchants thrive in a digital world. We’re looking for people who share our energy, creativity, and drive to make a difference.

Why This Role Matters

As a Project Manager at Payfast, you’ll play a key role in turning ideas into reality. You’ll work closely with cross‑functional teams across the business—product, tech, operations, sales, and support—to deliver projects that improve merchant experiences and unlock growth. Our projects are diverse : from scaling platforms and rolling out new payment solutions, to improving processes and delivering critical compliance initiatives. We’re not just looking for someone who can “manage timelines.” We’re looking for someone hungry to learn, proactive in solving problems, and motivated to see things through to impact.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the delivery of projects from initiation through to implementation and closure.
  • Partner with business stakeholders to define scope, objectives, and success criteria.
  • Drive structured project planning, clear communication, and smooth execution.
  • Proactively identify risks, remove blockers, and keep delivery on track.
  • Engage with both technical and business teams to ensure alignment and accountability.
  • Support the continuous improvement of PMO practices and delivery culture.

Qualifications

  • Attitude first : curious, enthusiastic, resilient, and eager to learn.
  • A track record of delivering projects in fast‑moving, dynamic environments.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills—you build trust and bring people with you.
  • Previous exposure to payments, fintech, banking, or financial services is an advantage.
  • Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling multiple priorities.
  • A formal project management certification (e.g., PMP, CAPM, PRINCE2, Agile / Scrum) is preferred.
  • 3+ years of project management experience (but we care more about what you’ve delivered and how you’ve grown than exact years).
  • What You’ll Get At Payfast

  • The chance to work on impactful projects that shape the payments ecosystem in South Africa.
  • A collaborative, supportive team environment with a strong delivery culture.
  • Exposure to cutting‑edge payments and fintech innovation within a global group.
  • Opportunities to grow, learn, and stretch your career.
  • Call To Action

    If you’re hungry to learn, eager to deliver impact, and ready to help shape the future of payments, we’d love to hear from you.
