- Track every in-flight workstream across the QIS platform scope
- Demonstrate working software on a week-to-week basis to senior stakeholders
- Identify cross-team dependencies early and drive resolution before they become programme blockers
- Translate technical constraints and delivery risks into clear, honest narratives for Front Office sponsors including heads of QIS trading, QIS structuring and the head of Equities
Key Skills:
- A hands-on implementation or engineering background
- Proven delivery of trading platforms or complex technical software programmes
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate and push delivery across multiple teams without line authority
- Real agile
- Exposure to Python-heavy environments, distributed systems, KDB
