how it works

This isn't a job board. It's a bench of experts on standby.

Since 2016, Dwalalam Projects has grown by building bespoke delivery teams for every mandate, rather than carrying permanent overhead. That means we’re constantly looking for proven Project Managers, Project Finance Managers and Project Coordinators to keep on file, so we can move fast the moment a client needs governance-led execution.

Our strength lies in our people

Dwalalam Projects provides access to an extensive network of highly experienced, skilled professionals. We assemble bespoke teams of top-tier experts for every engagement, so joining our talent network puts you in the room for opportunities before they’re publicly advertised.

The roles we recruit for

Three roles. One standard of delivery discipline.

Every Dwalalam engagement is governance-led, so every role on the bench is measured the same way: precision, integrity and outcomes that hold up under scrutiny.

Project Manager

Own delivery from mandate to measurable outcome

You’ll lead the full lifecycle of governance-led programmes, from Advisory and Diagnostics through Delivery Governance and EPMO execution, while keeping complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives on scope, on budget and on schedule.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • 5+ years leading complex projects or programmes
  • PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent governance credential
  • Comfortable in distressed-project recovery contexts
  • Available for project-based, pan-African engagements

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

  • Run end-to-end delivery of client programmes
  • Establish and operate PMO/EPMO governance frameworks
  • Align multiple stakeholders across client and delivery teams
  • Identify and contain delivery risk before it compounds

Project Finance Manager

Protect the capital behind every mandate

You’ll own budgeting, cost control and financial governance across engagements. The same capital assurance discipline that lets Dwalalam guarantee predictable, measurable outcomes for clients in banking, insurance and asset management.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Build and monitor project budgets and cash-flow forecasts
  • Run capital project assurance and revenue-protection checks
  • Produce real-time financial reporting for programme boards
  • Flag cost and schedule variance before it becomes overrun

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

  • Finance, accounting or project-finance qualification
  • Track record managing budgets on complex programmes
  • Familiarity with regulatory-aligned reporting environments
  • High discretion with confidential financial data

Project Coordinator

Keep delivery moving, day to day

You’ll be the operational backbone of the delivery team, coordinating schedules, documentation and stakeholder communication so Project Managers and Project Finance Managers can focus on the decisions that matter.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Maintain project schedules, trackers and status reporting
  • Coordinate meetings, actions and stakeholder follow-ups
  • Support PMO administration and governance documentation
  • Escalate risks and blockers to the project lead early

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

  • 2+ years in project coordination or PMO support
  • Sharp with tools like MS Project, Excel or similar trackers
  • Excellent written communication and follow-through
  • Comfortable working across distributed, hybrid teams

What you're joining

Every mandate runs on the same three principles

01

Integrity in Action

Trust is earned through consistency, respect and transparency. With clients and with every specialist on the bench.

02

Excellence that speaks for itself

Precision and discipline that turns vision into value on some of Africa’s most complex programmes.

03

Progress through partnership

We thrive together. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing fuel results that endure across engagements.

“The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence itself, but to act with yesterday’s logic.”

— M. Tushman

Who thrives here

Built for people who treat delivery like a craft

Governance-minded

You default to structure and evidence, not gut feel, when a programme is under pressure.

Comfortable with confidentiality

Client data and early-stage ideas stay protected. You understand that discretion is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Mobile across Africa

Open to remote, hybrid or on-site engagements wherever the next mandate lands on the continent.

Proven under pressure

A track record on high-stakes, complex programmes, including recovering distressed ones.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a traditional job board?

No. Dwalalam Projects engages specialists on a project-by-project basis as new mandates arise, rather than posting fixed vacancies. Registering adds you to our verified bench so we can reach out directly when a matching opportunity comes up.

No, you can register your interest at any time. Your details stay on file and are matched against mandates as they land, across Financial Services, IT/Telecoms, Infrastructure and agriculture engagements.

It depends on the mandate. Some engagements require on-site presence with client teams; others are delivered remotely or hybrid. Let us know your preference and mobility when you register.

Dwalalam Projects has operated across Africa since 2016, working with institutions where delivery certainty and governance discipline are non-negotiable. We consider talent-network members based anywhere on the continent.

Our team reaches out directly by phone, email or WhatsApp when your profile matches an active or upcoming engagement. If you don’t hear from us immediately, your details remain active on the bench.

Confidentiality is woven into how Dwalalam Projects does business. Your CV, experience and any conversations are treated with the same discretion we apply to client data and strategic information.
