What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior IT Project / Delivery Manager with experience in fintech, telecom, and regulated enterprise environments. I support strategic roadmap execution, governance cadence, and KPI/QBR reporting for digital transformation initiatives, coordinating delivery across 15 development teams and working with product and technology leaders overseeing 100+ specialists. In my recent role at Kazakhtelecom JSC, I led an ecosystem product transformation and reduced the approval cycle time by 30% through simplified reporting, improved transparency, and clearer accountability.
Previously at Home Credit Bank JSC, I coordinated delivery across 15 development teams, aligned priorities with Product Owners and business stakeholders, and helped teams adopt recurring change practices through workshops and communication. Before that, I served as an IT Manager and System Administrator, building IT strategy, due diligence readiness, and regulated infrastructure operations using ITIL practices, DLP/security controls, and BCP/DRP documentation—while bringing modern AI tools into my day-to-day project workflows.
