FinTech marketing specialist is hiring a number of new hires

Birmingham-based global FinTech and digital marketing specialist PM Connect has recruited four developers and promoted three long-serving staff as part of a restructuring.

The new CTO Sanjay Mistry, who joined the company in June, has been quick to strengthen the company’s technical resources, which now have 23 people.

The core of the technology team operates from PM Connect’s headquarters in Birmingham, but technology personnel have been added in both South Africa and Portugal to match the global reach.

Peter Colquhoun joins the newly named Operations Performance team as a back-end developer, Lisbon-based Hugo Camilo is welcomed as a nearshore sales force developer, Tariqur Rahman has been recruited as a core services developer, and Jakub Kozlowksi joins the company’s product team as a software developer .

The business has also welcomed product manager Harprit Badyal to help strengthen the integration and the core platform roadmap.

Alongside the recruitment, George Walker has been promoted to head of operational performance and Shaun Whalen-Smith to head of product team, while Harry Perry has also been promoted to senior QA tester.

Mistry said: “I said when I joined PM Connect that we have a top development team, built by my predecessor, Andrew Robins. The technology is strong, and the people are of a high caliber. We needed to take this further, and that starts with restructuring and strengthening the resources where the demand is greatest. With Peter, Hugo, Tariqur, Jakub and Harprit with us – that’s exactly what we do.

“I would also like to congratulate both Shaun and George on their well-deserved promotions to management positions, and Harry on his promotion as well.

“Learning and progression should be at the core of PM Connect’s culture.

“It’s such an exciting time for PM Connect as we look to scale over the next two years. The world-leading brands we have on the way, the huge potential in Africa and the growth opportunities in the rest of the world. We’re building something special and that’s key to have an international development team. Watch this space.”

PM Connect’s partners now include sports giants, such as the NBA and WWE, along with the largest mobile groups in the world, including Vodafone, Orange, MTN and O2, driving growth across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
