Job Description

Why PayNet / Why Now

  • National payments infrastructure with direct influence on Malaysia's digital financial future
  • Open Finance is moving from concept to implementation, requiring coordinated execution across multiple stakeholders, institutions, and workstreams
  • Increasing complexity, governance requirements, and delivery expectations demand stronger programme discipline and execution visibility
  • Programme leaders need reliable delivery intelligence to make timely decisions and remove obstacles before they impact outcomes
  • A role for someone who enjoys bringing structure, momentum, and accountability to complex programmes

TL;DR

  • Own the operational heartbeat of strategic Open Finance programmes
  • Keep multiple workstreams aligned, accountable, and moving forward
  • Turn programme complexity into clear reporting, governance, and actionable insights
  • Work closely with senior stakeholders across business, technology, operations, and industry participants
  • High-exposure role supporting initiatives that shape Malaysia's digital financial ecosystem

Why This Role Matters

  • Open Finance initiatives involve multiple stakeholders, interconnected workstreams, evolving requirements, and significant delivery dependencies.
  • This role ensures programmes stay coordinated, visible, and under control by providing the structure, governance, and delivery discipline required to execute at scale.
  • You will be the person who keeps programme leaders informed, risks visible, actions progressing, and stakeholders aligned.
  • This is a role where organisation, judgement, and proactive follow-through matter just as much as technical project management skills.

What You Will Actually Do

  • Maintain integrated programme plans, milestones, deliverables, and dashboards, while proactively following up with workstream owners to address delays and delivery gaps.
  • Coordinate programme governance activities and key cadences, prepare clear and timely status reports, track decisions and actions, and ensure key matters are surfaced for management attention.
  • Identify, maintain, and analyse programme risks, issues, and dependencies, ensuring mitigation and recovery actions are assigned, monitored, and escalated where necessary.
  • Coordinate across business, technology, operations, vendors, and external stakeholders to maintain alignment, resolve delivery bottlenecks, and drive closure of programme commitments.
  • Maintain accurate programme artefacts, repositories, decision logs, and governance documentation, while supporting consistent adherence to programme standards and ways of working.

What Will Help You Succeed

  • Minimum 3-5 years of experience in PMO, project coordination, programme management, or a related role within a complex organisational environment..
  • Strong organisational, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and coordinate several workstreams simultaneously.
  • Demonstrated experience in programme reporting, milestone tracking, governance coordination, and the management of risks, issues, actions, and dependencies.
  • Proficiency in project management and collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Excel, and PowerPoint, with the ability to produce clear and management-ready reporting

Helpful (Not Mandatory)

  • Experience supporting large-scale transformation, technology, fintech, payments, or financial services programmes.
  • Experience working across business, technology, operations, risk, compliance, and external delivery partners.
  • Familiarity with Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery methodologies.
  • Ability to analyse programme information, identify emerging delivery trends, and recommend appropriate follow-up actions.
  • Exposure to regulatory, governance, or industry-wide initiatives involving multiple organisations and stakeholders.
  • PMP, PRINCE2, Agile, Scrum, or equivalent project or programme management certification.
