OLX Uzbekistan - the leader of the classifieds market in Uzbekistan. Our platform combines several large-scale business areas that are currently undergoing a stage of active growth and transformation.
We are expanding our team in Tashkent and are looking for an experienced, proactive Project Manager, ready for high autonomy and large-scale tasks.
Responsibilities
About the project:
We are transferring backoffice services from a global company to a local structure. This is a large-scale change program: legal framework, financial and HR processes, IT systems, data, contractual obligations with suppliers. The task is to make the transition manageable, without operational downtime and with a clear target state for each service.
We are looking for a Senior Project Manager who will take on several streams of this migration and bring them to completion.
What you will be doing:
- Manage projects for transferring backoffice functions (Finance, HR, Legal, Procurement, IT, Admin) from a global structure to a local one – from initiation to closing and handover to operations.
- Agree on the target service model with local and global stakeholders: what to transfer as-is, what to rebuild, what to build from scratch.
- Decompose the migration into stages, build a roadmap with dependencies, manage the critical path.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams: internal departments, external contractors, global counterparties; synchronize them on deadlines and obligations.
- Manage risks: regulatory, contractual, operational, risks of data loss and service continuity. Maintain a risk log, prepare mitigation plans.
- Control the project budget, report on actual and planned expenses.
- Prepare statuses for the steering committee and sponsors: where we are on plan, where we are stuck, what decisions are needed from management.
- Maintain project documentation: charter, RACI, plans, decision minutes, change log.
- Ensure knowledge transfer and service handover to the local team: SLA, runbooks, training.
What we offer:
- A senior role with direct impact on a key company program and visibility at the top management level.
- A team that values a structured approach and doesn't confuse hustle with progress.
- Competitive salary (range discussed based on interview results), voluntary medical insurance, flexible schedule, possibility of a hybrid format.
- Real scale of tasks – what is usually called a "PM's dream project": complex, responsible, to the point.
Requirements
What we expect from the candidate:
- From 3 years of experience as a Project Manager on projects with complex cross-functional coordination. Experience in migration projects, M&A integrations, carve-outs, transition projects – a big plus.
- Understanding of how backoffice processes work: finance, accounting, HR, procurement, legal documentation. You don't need to be an expert in every function, but you need to speak their language.
- Experience working with stakeholders at different levels – from performers to C-level, in Russian and English.
- Proficient in project management methodologies (PMBOK / PRINCE2 / hybrid approaches) and tools: Jira, Confluence, MS Project or equivalent, Excel/Sheets at the level of pivot tables and models.
- Systems thinking, ability to see the project as a whole and dive into details when needed.
- Communication maturity: ability to maintain framework under deadline pressure, facilitate complex discussions, document agreements.
- Knowledge of Russian and English languages – B2 (oral and written communication).
Will be a plus:
- Experience working in an international company during localization, separation, or market exit.
- PMP, PRINCE2 Practitioner, IPMA or equivalent.
- Experience with change management and transition service agreements (TSA).
- Understanding of IT infrastructure projects: migration of systems, data, domains, licenses.
Conditions
- Participation in project development from the start.
- Direct impact on the final product.
- Prospects for professional and career growth.
- Development within a team of experienced colleagues.
- Minimum bureaucracy and fast decision-making.
- Individual discussion of schedule and work format with each employee.
