With a passion for financial markets, you will have project management certifications and experience and expertise as a Project Manager in the financial services industry leading technical (software or infrastructure) programs/projects and managing their associated budgets. You are someone versed in the traditional methods of project delivery – PRINCE2, waterfall – but also have extensive experience applying agile techniques such as kanban and SCRUM. You are more than capable with the Atlassian software suite – working through Jira and Confluence are key strengths.
You will be able to demonstrate your understanding of the interdependencies between different programs of work in financial markets and ideally have exposure to Data Warehousing, Portfolio Management Systems, Risk Management Systems, the trade lifecycle and different asset classes. Knowledge of Portfolio / Order Management systems and Risk platforms such as Simcorp Dimension, Aladdin, Bloomberg AIM, Charles River, Factset, BarraOne etc is highly desirable.
Key to success is your organisational skills and experience managing stakeholders within financial services organisations to deliver successful programs.
