This team partners closely with team across traders, developers, engineers, operations, compliance, legal, and global stakeholders to support new initiatives, business process improvements, system enhancements, and cross-team project execution.

The right person will start with strong core project management responsibilities and grow into a desk-aligned, business-aware partner who understands what is driving a project, how the trading desk operates, and how to help move work forward across technology and non-technology teams.

  • Build business and trading context to understand project priorities, risks, dependencies, and downstream impact
  • Track project owners, dates, blockers, decisions, risks, dependencies, and open questions

  • Own project tracking, documentation, and communication using tools such as Jira and Confluence
  • Serve as a connector and translator between global technology teams and business stakeholders across trading, legal, operations, and corporate functions

What we're looking for

Required:
  • 5+ years of experience in technical project management, business analysis, technical analysis, or a related project execution role
  • Strong ability to manage complex projects across multiple stakeholders with minimal oversight
  • Ability to understand technical systems, data flows, dependencies, and upstream/downstream impacts
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Strong organizational skills, including tracking owners, dates, blockers, decisions, risks, and follow-ups
  • Experience translating business needs into clear project plans, requirements, and execution steps
  • Comfort working in fast-paced environments where priorities can change quickly
  • Experience with project tracking and documentation tools such as Jira and Confluence
  • Ability to work in our Bala Cynwyd, PA office with occassional travel

Preferred:
  • Exposure to trading systems, market data, risk systems
  • Experience working in financial services, trading, capital markets, or another highly regulated technical environment
  • SQL experience or comfort working with data to support analysis, validation, reconciliation, or investigation
  • Python experience or familiarity with scripting and automation
  • Comfort working in Windows and Linux/Unix environments, including command-line tools or log analysis
  • Familiarity with AI tools or experience using AI to improve analysis, documentation, workflow efficiency, or project execution
  • Experience coordinating work across global teams or multiple business functions
