Technical Software Project Manager
We’re working with a leading quantitative investment fund that is looking to hire an experienced Technical Software Project Manager to join its technology team. This is an opportunity for a strong Project Manager to work in a highly technical, fast-paced investment environment, managing complex software and technology initiatives across the organisation.
You’ll take ownership of projects from initial definition through to delivery, working closely with engineering, infrastructure, quantitative research, trading and business stakeholders.
You’ll be responsible for bringing structure and momentum to complex initiatives — defining scope and objectives, building delivery plans, coordinating teams, managing dependencies and ensuring projects remain on track. You’ll also own project governance, reporting and stakeholder communication, ensuring risks and issues are identified early and driven through to resolution.

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.

Key Responsibilities:
- Manage end-to-end delivery of complex technology projects across multiple teams
- Strong stakeholder management, including working with senior technology and business leadership
- Excellent planning, organisation, risk and dependency management
- Experience working across Agile and Waterfall methodologies, with a good understanding of when each approach is appropriate
- PRINCE2 qualification or equivalent project management experience
- Experience working closely with software engineers, architects and technical teams
- A strong technical or numerate degree would be ideal, providing a solid foundation for working within a highly technical environment
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to bring structure and accountability to challenging projects
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don't need to be a developer, but you should be technically credible and comfortable engaging with engineering teams and understanding complex technical discussions.
Projects will span areas such as software development, quantitative research, trading, data and infrastructure, with exposure to technologies including Python, C++, cloud platforms, distributed systems, data platforms, CI/CD and Linux.
The technology is sophisticated, but the focus of the role is very much on project management, delivery and stakeholder management.
Experience within quantitative finance, hedge funds, proprietary trading, investment management, fintech or another technically demanding environment would be advantageous.
