The opportunity

We’re hiring a Manager (Banking/CustomerTransformation) in Tashkent.

As a Manager, you own delivery end‑to‑end - turning complex problems into actionable solutions and driving them through to real impact. You lead project teams, control scope, timelines, and quality, and stay close to every key decision.

At the same time, you are the face of the project for the client - running discussions, challenging thinking, aligning stakeholders, and driving tangible progress and outcomes.

Beyond delivery, you contribute to business development by supporting proposal development, participating in client pitches, and identifying opportunities to deepen client relationships.
