About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the end-to-end lifecycle of multiple concurrent strategic and operational projects — from initial scoping and planning through execution, tracking, and close-out.
Build and maintain practical project plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and deadlines; hold stakeholders accountable without creating bureaucratic drag.
Identify blockers early, escalate with crisp problem statements and proposed solutions, and keep leadership informed without over-reporting.
Drive projects to completion in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift — adapt quickly and bring clarity when others see confusion.
Serve as the connective tissue across trading, technology, compliance, operations, and senior management — translating between business and technical teams without losing fidelity.
Run efficient, outcome-oriented meetings; produce concise status updates that give leadership what they need to make decisions, not lengthy reports no one reads.
Build trust with internal teams by being reliable, direct, and consistently following through on commitments.
Manage up and laterally with equal effectiveness — comfortable pushing back on scope creep or unrealistic timelines while maintaining strong relationships.
Identify operational inefficiencies across the firm and drive practical improvements — not for the sake of process, but to make the business run better and faster.
Help build scalable infrastructure as the firm grows: workflows, handoff protocols, vendor management frameworks, and cross-functional operating rhythms.
Document decisions, processes, and lessons learned in a way that actually gets used — clear, accessible, and maintained.
Manage relationships with external vendors, consultants, and technology providers involved in firm initiatives — keeping them on schedule and accountable to deliverables.
Support contract and SOW review from an operational standpoint, flagging delivery risks and ensuring third parties understand expectations.
Support build-outs, migrations, platform implementations, and integrations across trading infrastructure, risk systems, and back-office tools.
Coordinate firm-wide initiatives tied to new regulatory requirements, NFA/CFTC program builds, and exam readiness — working closely with the compliance team.
Assist in operationalizing new business lines, market expansions, or product launches from a project coordination standpoint.
Own ad hoc firm-wide initiatives that fall outside defined functional lanes.

Requirements

What you’ll need

4–7 years of project or program management experience, ideally within financial services, trading, fintech, or a similarly fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple large, complex projects simultaneously without dropping balls — a genuine track record, not just a claim.
Strong organizational instincts: you build structure where none exists, without over-engineering it.
Excellent written and verbal communication — you write clearly, present confidently, and adapt your message to the audience.
Comfort operating in ambiguity: you don't need a perfect brief to get started, and you ask the right questions to fill the gaps.
Collaborative but assertive — you know how to get alignment without being a pushover, and how to push without being difficult.
High attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture; you catch things before they become problems.
