SUMMARY The Technical Project Manager is a delivery role sitting at the intersection of project execution, technical coordination, and stakeholder communication. You will lead and coordinate complex IT projects for hedge funds and asset managers, including cloud infrastructure, trading application rollouts, and data platform builds, working from our Belgrade delivery hub. You will manage multiple concurrent engagements across delivery teams in Belgrade and globally, owning the project lifecycle from initiation through closure. You will partner with architects, engineers, and client stakeholders to keep delivery on track, dependencies visible, and risks proactively managed. Your clients will look to you as a trusted delivery partner who keeps complex programmes moving with discipline and clarity. This is a delivery leadership role within the Project Management Team. You will not have direct reports, but you will lead matrix teams across engineering, cloud, cybersecurity, and architecture functions. You set the cadence, drive accountability through RAID discipline and clear status reporting, and are responsible for how scope, schedule, and quality come together on each engagement. You work closely with Directors and Heads of departments across the company to remove blockers, align resources, and protect delivery commitments to clients. You will work hand-in-hand with the company Client Technology Managers and Client Success Managers, aligning delivery plans with client strategy and commercial commitments. You will also support new business initiatives by contributing project planning input to proposals, contract scoping, and renewals. Your primary focus is delivery for our global hedge fund, asset management and financial client base. You will collaborate with delivery and engineering teams in New York, London, Belgrade, Philippines and India in a follow-the-sun model, ensuring a consistent delivery experience wherever a client operates. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES Project Delivery Leadership Manage multiple concurrent projects, both internal and client-facing, ranging from several weeks to multi-month engagements for global hedge fund, asset management and financial client base. Lead full project lifecycle activities from initiation through closure, including project and resource planning, sprint and milestone tracking, Scrum ceremonies, backlog grooming, and change control. Drive Agile/Scrum and Waterfall delivery models depending on project shape and client preference, applying the right framework to each engagement. Own RAID discipline (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) across all engagements, with proactive risk and issue management, budget monitoring, and clear escalation paths. Lead client onboarding workstreams, sequencing technology milestones and ensuring smooth transitions onto the company Stratus, Insights, Axiom and Vector platforms with fast time-to-value. Protect project scope, schedule, and quality, holding the line on commitments while accommodating reasonable change through structured change control. Stakeholder Communication and Escalation Maintain a clear communication cadence with internal teams and client stakeholders, including daily standups, weekly status reports, and steering updates as appropriate to each engagement. Proactively escalate blockers to delivery leads, architecture leadership, and the CTO, ensuring leadership has the context needed to act quickly. Translate technical detail into clear progress narratives for both engineering teams and C-level stakeholders, acting as a trusted delivery adviser to the client. Influence senior stakeholders and guide cross-functional teams to consensus and decision, even when priorities shift or timelines compress. Manage third-party vendor and software dependencies during projects, coordinating delivery contributions and holding vendors accountable to agreed milestones. Architecture and Technical Coordination Support architecture teams in scoping, planning, and executing deliverables, ensuring delivery plans reflect technical reality and constraints. Partner with engineering, cloud, and cybersecurity functions to align technical design with delivery commitments and client outcomes. Ensure technical dependencies are flagged early, owned end-to-end, and tracked through to resolution before they become delivery blockers. Contribute to estimation, sizing, and feasibility assessments during pre-sales and contract scoping, helping shape achievable delivery plans. Coordinate trading application rollouts, cloud migrations, and infrastructure modernization projects across heterogeneous client environments. Act as the bridge between engineering teams and client or leadership stakeholders, translating complex technical situations into clear actions, timelines, and decisions. Documentation and Governance Own documentation across project proposals, architecture inputs, status reports, and delivery roadmaps, treating each artefact as a deliverable in its own right. Maintain Jira and Confluence as the single source of truth for project state, ensuring backlogs, boards, and status pages are accurate and up to date. Drive consistent project governance practices across the PMO function, including templates, status reporting standards, and milestone gating criteria. Ensure post-project reviews are conducted, lessons learned are captured, and improvements are fed back into PMO methodology and templates. Support audit, compliance, and DDQ requests where projects intersect with regulatory or LP-driven evidence needs, providing project records as required. Cross-Regional Collaboration Coordinate with delivery and engineering teams in New York, London, Belgrade, Philippines and India in a follow-the-sun model, ensuring continuity across time zones for shared engagements. Align with Company’s Client Success Managers, Client Technology Managers, SaaS Department Heads on shared client engagements, integrating delivery plans into account strategy and commercial commitments. Support new business initiatives by contributing project planning input, sequencing, and risk views to proposals, renewals, and platform expansion conversations. Surface delivery risks, recurring issues, and resourcing constraints to delivery leadership and the CTO, so trade-offs can be made early and transparently. Partner with cross-regional teams on client onboarding, ensuring delivery milestones are planned, tracked, and delivered on time across time zones. Identify opportunities where additional Company services or platform capabilities could address a client’s delivery needs, and hand these off clearly to the Client Technology Manager and commercial team.
