A new IT project manager has been appointed at short-term loan provider Payday Express, as the company drives forward its business by prioritising key systems and projects.

Rajeev Chakraborty started work at the instant approval payday loans company on September 15, succeeding contract project manager Femi Awoyemi, who was responsible for the successful deployment of the company’s new loan management system in June.

Rajeev brings with him valuable skills and experience working with agile software development, at a time when the IT team transitions to this new methodology.

His role will include managing a range of projects undertaken by Payday Express’s internal development team, which constantly seeks to improve the service delivered to customers. The team is currently working on developing a system to be able to take customer applications over the phone, and will soon develop a customer portal, to enable customers to log in and easily manage their accounts via the company website.

He will also work closely with digital marketing project manager Nushin Nahidpour, who manages the fast payday loans company’s out-sourced development projects.

These projects include adding new features such as a blog and daily news feed to the website.

“I am really looking forward to working with the teams at Payday Express and growing with the business,” said Rajeev.

“The environment is amazing – there is a real buzz when one enters the workplace, reflecting the enthusiasm of staff and the speed at which the company is growing. The emphasis placed on continual improvement is exciting!”

Nushin added: “We are really pleased to welcome Rajeev on board and can already see that he is an excellent addition to the team, with his enthusiasm and experience with agile project management and software development.

“Our projects are fast-moving and varied, so it is vital these are managed by a dedicated and delivery focused PM.”
