Job description

We are seeking a Junior Project Manager to join our fast-paced Project Management team. This role is ideal for someone with ~2 years of experience in business analysis, product operations, finance project coordination, or similar roles—ideally within Brokerage, Trading, Fintech, or other data-intensive environments.
As a Junior PM, you will work closely with senior project managers and leadership, playing a pivotal role in connecting the firm to new trading venues, exchanges, and brokers, particularly in greenfield markets. You’ll act as a bridge between internal teams (technical, back-office) and external stakeholders (brokers, clearers, custodians), helping ensure seamless execution of connectivity and integration projects.


WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
  • Support the onboarding of new trading venues and brokers, coordinating efforts across technical and operational teams.
  • Collaborate with external partners (e.g., exchanges, custodians) to define and drive requirements and timelines.
  • Co-lead projects from initiation to deployment: defining scope, managing schedules and risks, and ensuring accountability.
  • Track deliverables, manage documentation, run effective internal and external meetings.
  • Maintain clear and proactive communication with both internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Escalate timeline risks and dependencies clearly and in a timely manner.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • ~2 years of experience in project coordination or operations, ideally in a trading, fintech, or financial environment.
  • Keen interested in working with technical, compliance, Risk and back-office teams.
  • Hands-on experience with project tracking and documentation is an advantage.
  • Strong analytical mindset with working knowledge of Excel, SQL, or BI tools.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Experience in external-facing roles, including working with vendors or market participants.
PREFERRED BACKGROUND:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, STEM, or a related field.
  • Understanding of trading workflows (e.g., order types, settlement cycles, exchanges, brokers).
  • Fluent in English is a must; a second language is a plus.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR:
  • Proactive mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Not afraid to ask questions or escalate risks.
  • Comfortable working in a multicultural, distributed environment.
  • Ready to grow into a lead PM role in a high-impact environment

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN OUR TEAM?

  • A welcoming international team of highly qualified professionals
  • Work remotely from anywhere in the world
  • Access any of our global offices anytime
  • Company supports your professional growth
  • Flexible schedule
  • 40 paid days off
  • Competitive salary

Time Zone Compatibility: Candidates must be located within UTC+0 to UTC+8 (e.g., between London and Singapore).
If you thrive at the intersection of project ownership, market connectivity, and cross-functional collaboration, we’d love to hear from you.
