At Upvest, we are on a mission to make investing as easy as spending money. Upvest empowers businesses to offer a wide range of investment products and the best experience in the field of capital market investment and retirement planning. Upvest’s Investment API is easy to integrate so that fintechs and financial institutions can save resources and fully focus on their core business.
We are proud to partner with Europe’s leading Fintechs and financial institutions such as DKB, Revolut, N26 and Raisin. Founded in 2017 by Martin Kassing, Upvest now brings together over 270 talented professionals from more than 70 nationalities. Upvest is backed by €280M in total funding from world-class investors, including BlackRock, Tencent, Sapphire Ventures, and Bessemer Venture Partners, Earlybird, Notion Capital, and Motive. Our latest €105M funding round in March 2026 - led by Sapphire and Tencent - serves as a massive catalyst for our growth, allowing us to offer premier investment experience.
As our PMO Manager, you are the operational engine behind our client launches. As we onboard more of Europe's leading Fintechs and financial institutions in parallel, you make sure every project runs on a solid, consistent structure and stays on track. You take the coordination and administration off the Launch Managers' plates so they can focus on driving the content. You support by establishing standards and rolling them out in new and ongoing projects to ensure one streamlined approach. You give senior management a clear, real-time view of how the whole portfolio is progressing.
You are the spider in the web of the Launch team: the person who sees across every project, spots what is about to slip before it does, and keeps clients, Launch Managers and internal teams moving in step. It is a role with high visibility and real ownership, at the centre of how Upvest scales.
The role sits in the Client Operations team within Client Impact, the department where we focus on delivering value to our clients every day. You will work closely with Launch Managers, Product, Growth and Integration Success, and you will build the standardised way of working that Upvest scales its launches on.
Keep a portfolio-wide view across all live launches, and make sure every project stays on track against its timeline.
Set up new launch projects so each one starts fast and on a consistent structure including clear governance and ownership, and prepare kickoffs together with the Launch Managers.
Be the central point of coordination with our clients' project teams: driving the cadence, scheduling and follow-through that keep launches moving.
Own the tools and systems that keep Launch running, from project tracking to documentation and the shared knowledge base, and keep them sharp.
Prepare and support steering committees, and report progress, risks and blockers clearly to senior management.
Capture lessons learned across launches/ projects and turn them into a standardised, repeatable playbook the whole team can rely on.
Use the AI tooling available to you, and push forward the integration and automation of AI into PMO tasks — from reporting to documentation to project tracking.
3+ years in project coordination, PMO or project management, ideally in fintech, financial services or consulting (onboarding or integration projects a strong plus).
Exceptional organisation and coordination skills, comfortable keeping many parallel workstreams on track at once.
Hands-on with project and collaboration tooling (e.g. ClickUp or similar) and disciplined document and knowledge management.
A structured, proactive approach: you anticipate what each project needs next and prepare it before it is asked for.
Strong communication and stakeholder skills, confident coordinating directly with client-side project teams and reporting to senior management.
A client-first mindset and a pragmatic, hands-on attitude to getting things done.
Fluent German is a must, alongside professional proficiency in English.
Best-in-class AI tools: Every Upvenger has €20,000 per year to spend on the best AI tools available — so you're always working with the most powerful models and tooling on the market.
Impact-driven work: We’re building the infrastructure that will power the future of investing in Europe. It’s complex, ambitious, and meaningful. You’ll work with modern technologies and create something entirely new. No legacy systems, no limits.
Wellbeing: Recharge with 30 days of annual leave and maintain a healthy lifestyle with sports benefits. Access confidential professional coaching and enjoy the flexibility to work remotely abroad for up to 183 days a year. Recharge with UpRest, a one-month fully paid sabbatical after every 4 years of working at Upvest.
Development: Growth is in our DNA. Each Upvenger has access to a personal development budget and the freedom to decide how to use it.
Flexible work environment: Work from any of our hubs in Berlin, London or Tallinn hybrid or remotely across Europe, depending on the role. We give you the choice and budget to work where you’re most comfortable and productive, either at home or in the office. You choose.
Compensation and equity: We believe that all Upvengers contribute to our success and deserve a competitive, above-market salary and a participation in our employee equity program.
Team celebrations: Participate in company-wide events, such as UpFest, dinners, offsites and our Holiday party, to connect with colleagues and celebrate our achievements.
Inclusion: We’re committed to a culture where everyone belongs and thrives. Our Employee Resources Groups foster inclusion and connection, like Upfem for our female Upvengers, or UpVergent supporting neurodivergent Upvengers and allies.
Make it easy for others. We simplify the complex and act with the best intentions.
Own the outcome. We are proactive, fast and confident to get the job done, valuing progress over perfection.
Rise to the challenge. We aim high and push the boundaries. We stay curious, learn and celebrate our wins together.
Tell the story. We start with the Why to align on purpose. We are transparent and share knowledge to empower and inspire others.
Upvest is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
