Technical Project Manager

RESPONSIBILITIES

Project Planning &Control

. Own the end-to-end delivery plan for technology programmes - scope, schedule, dependencies, milestones, and resourcing.

. Establish and run the project controls: baselines, change control, status reporting, and governance cadences that give both 360F and the client a single source of truth.

. Track progress against plan rigorously, surfacing variance early and driving corrective action rather than narrating slippage after the fact.

Stakeholder Management

. Manage stakeholders across the client organisation - programme offices, IT, business, and vendors -aligning expectations and keeping decisions moving.

. Coordinate internal 360Fteams - engineering, solutions, product, and commercial - into a coherent delivery front.

. Communicate clearly and credibly at every level, from engineers in stand-ups to steering committees and sponsors.

Risk & IssueMitigation

. Own the risk and issue framework: identification, assessment, mitigation planning, and escalation -with a bias toward pre-empting rather than reacting.

. Anticipate the failure modes specific to financial-services delivery - integration, data quality, regulatory sign-off, and dependency on legacy systems.

. Drive issue resolution to closure, keeping accountability clear and momentum intact under pressure.

Delivery Governance

. Manage scope and change disciplined against the commercial agreement, protecting both delivery integrity and account value.

. Maintain deliverydocumentation, RAID logs, and reporting to a standard that survives audit andclient scrutiny.

. Ensure quality gates,testing, and acceptance criteria are met before anything is called done.

Team &Cross-Functional Leadership

. Set a delivery culturegrounded in rigor, honesty, and follow-through.

REQUIREMENTS

. Deep command of project planning and control - scheduling, dependency management, baselining, changecontrol, and status reporting.

. Strong stakeholdermanagement skills across technical and business audiences, up to and includingsteering-committee and sponsor level.

. Demonstratedrisk-management discipline - you identify, quantify, and mitigate riskproactively, and have the judgment to know which risks matter.

. Comfort operating inregulated environments and navigating client governance, security, and compliance requirements.

. Fluency across delivery methodologies - Agile, waterfall, and hybrid - with the pragmatism to apply what the programme actually needs.

. Enough technical literacy to challenge estimates, understand architecture and integration risk, and earn the respect of engineering teams.

. Relevant certification (PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent) is valued, though track record matters more.
