Technical Programme Manager

About the Position We are looking for a highly-driven Technical Programme Manager who can provide organisation and coordination support for our engineering initiatives. Technology is core to our business, and this role is an opportunity to work alongside our engineers as we build and optimise Jane Street’s trading technology. 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. 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.

Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or other technical field is preferred. However we're also excited to talk to people who have picked up technical know-how through industry experience

• Experience working directly with engineering teams
• Experience managing software development projects
• Experience with project management planning tools (i.e., Jira, spreadsheets)
• Ability to describe detailed problems with brevity and accuracy
• Ability to handle competing priorities and to work effectively in a challenging and fast-paced environment
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Fluency in English required If you're a recruiting agency and want to partner with us, please reach out to [email protected] .
