The Opportunity

We're looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our Professional Services team, leading the delivery of complex, client-facing technology solutions across the financial services sector. This is a hands-on delivery leadership role operating at the intersection of Solution Architecture, Business Analysis, Engineering, and Technology Operations. You'll take ownership of high-impact programmes-often integration-heavy and API-driven-ensuring they are delivered with precision, clarity, and measurable client value.

You'll thrive here if you combine the discipline of structured delivery with the resilience and ownership mindset of a startup environment.

What You Will Get To Do:

• Leading client implementations and integration projects across SaaS and API-based platforms
• Translating complex SOWs and evolving client requirements into executable delivery plans
• Aligning cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready, supportable solutions
• Managing delivery across multiple stakeholders, systems, and dependencies in regulated environments
• Operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where clarity must be created, not assumed

End-to-End Delivery Ownership

• Own the successful delivery of projects from initiation through to go-live and handover
• Ensure delivery is on time, within budget, and aligned to client expectations
• Establish and manage baselined plans, milestones, risks, and dependencies
• Drive proactive resolution of delivery challenges before they impact outcomes

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead multidisciplinary delivery teams, including Solution Architects, Business Analysts, Engineers & Support / Operations teams
• Ensure strong alignment across design, requirements, build, and operational readiness
• Create clarity, accountability, and momentum across all delivery contributors

Technical Delivery & Oversight

• Oversee delivery across the full SDLC, including integration and API-led solutions
• Ensure alignment between engineering and production operations, including Release readiness, Deployment planning, Support model definition and handover
• Engage deeply enough to challenge assumptions and unblock technical delivery

Delivery Operations & Portfolio Management

• Manage and maintain accurate forecasting, effort estimation, and capacity planning, ensuring delivery aligns with demand and business targets
• Monitor portfolio health across multiple engagements, proactively identifying Resource constraints and Delivery risks
• Collaborate with PMs and delivery leads to optimise work allocation, rebalancing workloads to maintain delivery momentum
• Maintain accurate financial tracking and forecasting across projects
• Own and contribute to portfolio-level reporting, providing clear insight into performance, risks, and trends
• Support leadership with data-driven decision-making across delivery priorities and resource planning

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as the primary interface between client stakeholders and delivery teams
• Build trusted relationships and manage expectations with clarity and confidence
• Engage effectively with senior stakeholders, including C-level, providing credible delivery updates
• Support pre-sales and SOW definition, ensuring realistic scope, timelines, and dependencies

Governance & Executive Reporting

• Run structured governance across projects, including Status, risk, dependency, and financial reporting
• Produce clear, concise executive and C-level reporting, translating delivery data into actionable insights
• Establish and maintain portfolio-level dashboards and reporting frameworks to provide transparency across engagements

Delivery Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Apply and evolve project governance, delivery standards, and reporting frameworks
• Drive improvements in Delivery predictability, Resource efficiency, quality, and consistency
• Contribute to building a high-performing Professional Services delivery function

What You Will Bring:

Proven experience as a Technical Project Manager

• Professional Services or client delivery environments
• Financial services experience is desirable (fintech, capital markets and SaaS platforms)

Strong track record delivering:

• Integration-heavy, API-driven solutions
• Cross-functional projects involving technical and operational teams
• Complex initiatives with multiple stakeholders and dependencies

Technical & Delivery Expertise

• Strong understanding of:
  • Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
  • API and integration-led architectures
  • Technology operations (incident management, monitoring, support models)
• Comfortable working in Agile or hybrid delivery environments

Startup Mindset (Applied Practically)

• Experience working in startup or scale-up environments, with evidence of:
  • Operating effectively in ambiguity
  • Building structure where needed
  • Taking full ownership of outcomes
  • Delivering under pressure without losing quality

Key Attributes

• Ownership-driven - takes accountability end-to-end
• Technically credible - can engage meaningfully with engineers and architects
• Structured but pragmatic - balances governance with delivery pace
• Resilient and adaptable - thrives in fast-changing environments
• Independent and proactive - doesn't wait for direction to solve problems
• Client-focused - driven by delivering real business value
• Clients view you as a trusted delivery partner, not just a project manager
• You actively improve how delivery works-not just execute within it
