Project Manager – Exchange Technology
£400–£450 per day
Inside IR35
3-month initial contract
London – Hybrid
We’re working with a specialist technology business that develops and operates software underpinning stock exchanges and regulated trading venues globally.
They are looking for a Senior Project Manager with direct exchange technology experience to take ownership of several critical software delivery streams. This is a short initial contract and they need someone who already understands the exchange environment. General banking or broader financial services experience alone won’t be enough. You need to understand the technology, delivery pressures and dependencies involved in building and delivering software for an exchange.
The Role
This is a high-impact delivery role sitting across multiple exchange technology programmes.
You will:
- Own end-to-end SDLC planning and delivery across development, product and QA.
- Drive sprint planning, task-force reviews, release planning and delivery governance.
- Coordinate multiple concurrent exchange platform implementations and client releases.
- Manage dependencies and resources across development, QA, product, operations, DevOps, infrastructure and networks.
- Bring together complex delivery plans spanning both software and exchange infrastructure.
- Identify delivery risks and bottlenecks early, driving decisions and actions to keep programmes moving.
- Work closely with senior technology leadership to provide clear visibility on delivery, resources, risks and dependencies.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
Direct experience delivering technology within a stock exchange, trading venue or exchange technology provider is essential.
- Strong understanding of exchange technology and the software environments underpinning electronic markets.
- Proven Senior Project Manager experience delivering complex, business-critical software.
- Strong SDLC experience, covering development, QA, sprint planning and production releases.
- Experience coordinating multiple technical workstreams and releases simultaneously.
- Ability to work credibly with engineering, product, QA, DevOps, networks and infrastructure teams.
- A highly structured, delivery-focused approach with the ability to get into the detail when required.

This isn't a general banking technology PM position. We are specifically interested in people who have worked within the exchange ecosystem and can therefore add value immediately.
Why This Role
- Immediate ownership of strategically important exchange technology deliveries.
- Work directly with senior technology leadership in a highly technical environment.
- Exposure to major international exchange implementations and releases.
- A genuine delivery mandate where you have been brought in to make an immediate impact.
