South Africa: Intermediate Project Manager – Software & AI Projects-Remote – R800k pa CTC posted by E-Merge

We’re a delivery-focused AI and software consultancy building real systems – not theory, not PowerPoint.

We’re looking for an Intermediate Project Manager who understands how software actually gets built, can run Agile projects end-to-end, and isn’t intimidated by technical conversations.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing mid-sized Agile software projects from initiation through delivery
• Owning Jira: sprint planning, backlogs, dependencies, reporting
• Coordinating developers, engineers, and stakeholders to keep delivery on track
• Managing integration-heavy projects (APIs, platforms, third-party systems)
• Keeping delivery tight on scope, timelines, and quality
• Acting as the bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders

What you must bring:

• Proven experience as a mid-level / intermediate Project Manager
• Solid track record delivering software projects (not infrastructure-only)
• Strong Agile experience (Scrum, Kanban, sprint cycles, ceremonies)
• Hands-on Jira management experience
• Integration experience is essential
• Technical background – you must be comfortable working with engineers and architects
• Experience in payments / financial systems is a major advantage

Nice to have (not essential):

• Exposure to AI / Machine Learning projects
• Experience working in fast-paced consulting or product environments
• Excellent Communication skills
