Leverage your deep technical expertise and leadership to guide cutting-edge projects, fostering growth and innovation in a dynamic environment.
As a Lead Technical Program Manager in Corporate Technology, you will lead the delivery of complex, high-impact technology programs supporting electronic trading across multi-asset, low-latency market environments (e.g., equities, FX, rates, credit, listed derivatives). You will apply strong technical fluency and pragmatic electronic trading domain knowledge (not “deep specialist” level) to drive measurable business outcomes—improving latency, throughput, resilience, control posture, and time-to-market. You will partner with engineering, product, trading, and operations stakeholders to deliver strategic roadmaps, manage dependencies, and ensure programs align with firm objectives. Your ability to navigate ambiguity, influence decision-making, and coordinate execution across distributed teams will be critical to success. You will help foster a culture of innovation, disciplined delivery, and continuous improvement.
Job responsibilities
- Develop and execute comprehensive program plans integrating technical requirements for electronic trading platforms (low latency, high throughput, high availability).
- Lead cross-functional teams to define program scope, objectives, milestones, and deliverables aligned with trading/business outcomes.
- Drive execution across the full trading lifecycle: market connectivity, order capture, risk checks, smart order routing / execution, market data, post-trade workflows, and observability.
- Identify and mitigate risks by proactively addressing roadblocks and implementing contingency plans across performance, resiliency, and operational readiness.
- Champion agile methodologies and pragmatic technical solutions to drive continuous learning and innovation.
- Assess program performance using data-driven metrics (e.g., delivery predictability, defect leakage, latency/throughput KPIs, stability) and implement optimizations.
- Communicate effectively with stakeholders (engineering leads, product, trading, compliance/risk, operations) to influence decisions and build strong partnerships.
- Manage resources, budgets, and high-performing teams to ensure successful program delivery across multiple workstreams/vendors.
- Contribute to operational planning, incident readiness, and risk management for production trading services (including change management and release governance).
