My Client is an investment bank based in London; they are looking for permanent Project Manager to join the Rates IT team in the Front Office. This is a business facing role in the Front Office IT department. You will be primarily acting as a project manager and key contact point for rates IT delivery, with close ties to the trading & sales desks, quant team, and head of Rates. Customer service and senior stakeholder management are key aspects, and this role will act as a bridge to other parts of the FO IT organisation. The work will be a mixture of discrete larger projects and a continuous flow of smaller items, so an ability to multitask is essential.
Responsibilities:
· Work alongside technical product leads and system owners in a collegiate manner to deliver technology solutions that are in line with the rates business strategy.
· Work closely with the business to understand, refine and relate that strategy into IT deliveries.
· There is a need to ensure continuous delivery is achieved to support our rapid growth, balancing tactical solutions with strategic systems development.
· Responsible for ensuring business requirements are being met and have oversight over any projects impacting the Rates desks.
· From a technical perspective there will be some overlap with the Credit department, as a number of components are shared on the cash side.
· This role may expand to include management of other initiatives outside the rates area where appropriate from an IT or business perspective.
· There may be some line management duties depending on the project work being undertaken, but this is primarily a project management role rather than a line management role.
Key skills:
· Track record of project delivery in an investment banking environment
· Broad understanding of Fixed Income business
· High level understanding of interest rate products e.g. Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), Bonds
· A deep understanding of Fixed Income cash and derivative products and workflows
· Experience managing senior stakeholders and working closely with trading desks in the Front Office
· Project status reporting
· Confidence conversing with traders, sales and quants in business terms
· Ability to work alongside IT peers as a team player
· Experience integrating with technical team and partnering on delivery
