GFMTA is looking for an Implementation Project Manager for the Shared Treasury Management System (TMS) project. The TMS is a jointly procured, multi-institution implementation of Nasdaq Calypso - a leading capital markets platform - deployed on a shared, multi-tenant basis for five Georgian commercial banks and hosted on National Bank of Georgia (NBG) infrastructure. The project is now entering active implementation.
The implementation PM is GFMTA`s primary day-to-day counterpart to Nasdaq`s delivery team, owns the client-side coordination and management function, and is responsible for the practical execution of the program from Blueprint through final bank go-live. Bank 1 targets go-live at Month 12; the remaining four banks follow in a progressive rollout through Month 20-23.
The role reports directly to the Project Director and works alongside the Senior Treasury Lead (functional domain expertise) and the Operations and Projects Manager (coordination and administration). GFMTA is the sole named Client in the implementation contract and bears full contractual accountability to Nasdaq for all client-side obligations.
Engagement Terms:
** Engagement type: Full-time, on-site contracted engagement (temporary - for the duration of implementation)
** Duration: Immediate start through final bank go-live (estimated 20-23 months)
** Reports to: Project Director, GFMTA
** Start requirement: Immediate - Blueprint workshops are imminent
Key Responsibilities:
** Serve as GFMTA`s primary point of contact with Nasdaq`s delivery team on a day-to-day basis; attend and lead all working sessions on the client side.
** Manage sprint governance: maintain JIRA, track sprint exit criteria, manage timebox acceptance, and escalate blockers to the Project Director in a timely manner.
** Own the client-side test management function: coordinate preparation of writing and maintenance of acceptance test cases across all functional features during Execution; manage SIT and UAT execution logistics; triage defects and coordinate resolution with Nasdaq and GFMTA`s relevant teams.
** Coordinate bank-side SME participation during Blueprint and Execution: ensure the right people from each bank are available for workshops, sprint validations, and review windows specified in the SOW.
** Manage the Change Order process: identify client-side scope changes, assess implications, and present options to the Project Director before any formal Change Order is raised with Nasdaq.
** Lead client-side coordination during the progressive bank rollout (Months 13-23): manage the SIT, UAT, and Go-Live cycle for each of Banks 2-5, applying lessons from Bank 1 to reduce effort and risk per subsequent bank.
** Work closely with the Treasury Operations Center team: transfer implementation knowledge to the team so they are capable of independent issue triage before go-live.
** Produce project status reports; maintain the risk register, issue log, and project plan; prepare of Steering Committee materials.
Required Competences:
Essential
** Demonstrated experience managing at least one full-lifecycle implementation of a complex financial software platform (TMS, core banking, capital markets system, or equivalent).
** Practical experience with agile/scrum delivery: sprint planning and governance, timebox management, user story acceptance, JIRA or equivalent. This role absorbs the scrum management function.
** Structured test management: ability to understand and where necessary - write acceptance test cases, manage SIT and UAT execution, triage defects, and produce test progress reporting.
** Contractual literacy: ability to operate within a formal Change Order framework, identify scope creep, and manage vendor relationships at the working level.
** Strong English communication skills (written and verbal); experience working across multiple organizational stakeholders simultaneously.
Desirable
** Prior Calypso or other TMS System implementation experience.
** Prior experience in a multi-entity or consortium implementation (central bank, market infrastructure, or shared service).
** Georgian or regional banking knowledge.
What Success Looks Like:
Banks reach Go-Live on schedule without a Change Order caused by client delay. The Treasury Operations Center team is functional and independently triaging Calypso issues before Validation. All banks are live by Month 20. The implementation PM`s institutional knowledge of the Calypso configuration is captured and transferred to the Treasury Operations Center before the engagement concludes.
