Technical Programme Manager

London, United Kingdom Jane Street Full time
About the Position

We are looking for a highly-driven Technical Programme Manager to embed with one of the engineering teams building and optimising Jane Street’s mission-critical technology stack.

You’ll draw from your technical background on a daily basis, leading projects through their entire lifecycle, including defining goals, developing timelines, tracking milestones, managing developer time, identifying risks, and coordinating with related teams. You’ll also communicate project schedules, priorities, and status updates to the larger organisation. Adaptability is key, and the most successful TPMs at Jane Street are those who recognize that different tools fit different scenarios.

Strong communication skills and the ability to manage competing priorities will be necessary to collaborate across a wide range of teams at Jane Street — including developers, business teams, operations, and support — as well as with external counterparties, regulators, and clients, to make sure each project is delivered on time and meets or exceeds stated goals and expectations.

We operate in a flexible problem-solving environment that encourages people to think outside the box when developing processes and tools for the project at hand. The person in this role needs to be a strategic thinker who considers the goals of the firm, group, and project when problem solving.

This role sits within Jane Street’s technology group, which designs, deploys, and supports all of the infrastructure that underpins our trading activities. The scope of our systems is large, and you'll gain insight into a broad cross section of the global markets as you work to improve them. To succeed in this role, you must enjoy working independently on small teams, learning on the fly, and making decisions that have a real and immediate impact on the firm.

At Jane Street, the “P” in TPM can mean a lot of different things. Depending on the team, the person, and the circumstances, you may find yourself anywhere on the spectrum from Programme Manager to Product Manager. As a result, you’ll be most successful at Jane Street if you’re comfortable with that sort of ambiguity, and happy to roll your sleeves up and dig into the problem at hand, bringing whatever relevant skills you have to bear, whether through large-scale programme management and coordination, product vision, business context, or anything else. That’s also why you’ll find a second job posting for “Technical Product Manager” elsewhere on the site that looks just like this one — feel free to apply to whichever you think fits your experience and interests better and we’ll make sure your profile ends up in the right pipeline.

About You
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or another technical field is preferred — however we're also excited to talk to people who have picked up technical know-how through industry experience
  • 2+ years of project or programme management experience working directly with engineering teams
  • Experience managing software development projects
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to describe detailed problems with brevity and accuracy, and to comprehend complex technical topics
  • Ability to handle competing priorities and to work effectively in a fluid and sometimes unstructured environment
  • Strong organisational and time management skills
  • Comfort enabling projects at all stages, from requirements gathering to execution
  • Desire and willingness to help solve problems however you can
  • Fluency in English required
