Nium holds regulatory licenses and authorizations in more than 40 countries, enabling seamless onboarding, rapid integration, and compliance – independent of geography. The company is co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore.

About the Role

We’re looking for a motivated and curious graduate to join Nium’s growing Project Management Office (PMO) as a PMO Associate. This is a unique opportunity to start your career at the heart of a global fintech company, working directly with teams that shape Nium’s most important strategic initiatives. This position is intended as a long-term pathway into Nium, and the expected outcome after the first year is transition into a full-time Project Analyst role.

Reporting to the Global Head of PMO, who in turn reports to the COO, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to how projects are planned, executed, and delivered in a fast-paced, international environment.

You’ll be involved across three key areas:

- Supporting project management and strategic planning

- Contributing to reporting, communications, and cross-functional coordination

- Assisting the Global Head of PMO with strategic and operational priorities

This is a role that will be what you make of it — the more you put in, the more you’ll learn, contribute, and grow. You’ll have the opportunity to work on diverse projects, such as:

- Regulatory and compliance initiatives across multiple jurisdictions

- Internal process improvement and transformation projects

- Market expansion and license applications

- Implementation of enterprise-wide technologies

- Strategic reviews and executive reporting

The function’s strategic objectives are:

Timeliness: improve ratio of on-time delivery of projects, reduce/eliminate delays.
