Technical Project Manager

SUMMARY

The Technical Project Manager is a delivery
role sitting at the intersection of project execution, technical coordination,
and stakeholder communication. You will lead and coordinate complex IT projects
for hedge funds and asset managers, including cloud infrastructure, trading
application rollouts, and data platform builds, working from our Belgrade
delivery hub.

You will manage multiple concurrent
engagements across delivery teams in Belgrade and globally, owning the project
lifecycle from initiation through closure. You will partner with architects,
engineers, and client stakeholders to keep delivery on track, dependencies
visible, and risks proactively managed. Your clients will look to you as a
trusted delivery partner who keeps complex programmes moving with discipline
and clarity.

This is a delivery leadership role within
the Project Management Team. You will not have direct reports, but you will
lead matrix teams across engineering, cloud, cybersecurity, and architecture
functions. You set the cadence, drive accountability through RAID discipline
and clear status reporting, and are responsible for how scope, schedule, and
quality come together on each engagement. You work closely with Directors and
Heads of departments across the company to remove blockers, align resources,
and protect delivery commitments to clients.

You will work hand -in -hand with the company
Client Technology Managers and Client Success Managers, aligning delivery plans
with client strategy and commercial commitments. You will also support new
business initiatives by contributing project planning input to proposals,
contract scoping, and renewals.

Your primary focus is delivery for our
global hedge fund, asset management and financial client base. You will
collaborate with delivery and engineering teams in New York, London, Belgrade,
Philippines and India in a follow -the -sun model, ensuring a consistent delivery
experience wherever a client operates.
