Program Manager

We are a fast-moving proprietary trading firm and CFTC/NFA-registered Introducing Broker with a culture that rewards results over process. We are looking for a Program Manager who gets things done — someone who can hold multiple large initiatives simultaneously, navigate ambiguity, and drive execution without needing perfect conditions to move forward. This is not a PowerPoint role. You will be expected to roll up your sleeves, work directly with stakeholders across trading, compliance, technology, and operations, and be accountable for real outcomes.

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of multiple concurrent strategic and operational projects — from initial scoping and planning through execution, tracking, and close-out.
• Build and maintain practical project plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and deadlines; hold stakeholders accountable without creating bureaucratic drag.
• Identify blockers early, escalate with crisp problem statements and proposed solutions, and keep leadership informed without over-reporting.
• Drive projects to completion in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift — adapt quickly and bring clarity when others see confusion.

• Serve as the connective tissue across trading, technology, compliance, operations, and senior management — translating between business and technical teams without losing fidelity.
• Run efficient, outcome-oriented meetings; produce concise status updates that give leadership what they need to make decisions, not lengthy reports no one reads.
• Build trust with internal teams by being reliable, direct, and consistently following through on commitments.
• Manage up and laterally with equal effectiveness — comfortable pushing back on scope creep or unrealistic timelines while maintaining strong relationships.

• Identify operational inefficiencies across the firm and drive practical improvements — not for the sake of process, but to make the business run better and faster.
• Help build scalable infrastructure as the firm grows: workflows, handoff protocols, vendor management frameworks, and cross-functional operating rhythms.
• Document decisions, processes, and lessons learned in a way that actually gets used — clear, accessible, and maintained.

• Manage relationships with external vendors, consultants, and technology providers involved in firm initiatives — keeping them on schedule and accountable to deliverables.
• Support contract and SOW review from an operational standpoint, flagging delivery risks and ensuring third parties understand expectations.

• Technology & Systems: support build-outs, migrations, platform implementations, and integrations across trading infrastructure, risk systems, and back-office tools.
• Regulatory & Compliance: coordinate firm-wide initiatives tied to new regulatory requirements, NFA/CFTC program builds, and exam readiness — working closely with the compliance team.
• Business Expansion: assist in operationalizing new business lines, market expansions, or product launches from a project coordination standpoint.
• Firm Operations: own ad hoc firm-wide initiatives that fall outside defined functional lanes — the "who owns this?" problems that need a home.

• 4–7 years of project or program management experience, ideally within financial services, trading, fintech, or a similarly fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple large, complex projects simultaneously without dropping balls — a genuine track record, not just a claim.
• Strong organizational instincts: you build structure where none exists, without over-engineering it.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you write clearly, present confidently, and adapt your message to the audience.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity: you don't need a perfect brief to get started, and you ask the right questions to fill the gaps.
• Collaborative but assertive — you know how to get alignment without being a pushover, and how to push without being difficult.
• High attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture; you catch things before they become problems.

• Prior exposure to proprietary trading, brokerage, or capital markets — you don't need to know how to trade, but you should be able to learn the business quickly.
• Experience coordinating technology or systems implementation projects involving multiple internal and external stakeholders.
• Familiarity with regulatory or compliance-driven projects in a financial services context.
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification — useful but absolutely not required if your track record speaks for itself.
• Proficiency with project management tooling (Jira, Asana, Monday.com, or equivalent) — we care more about how you think than which tool you use.

In your first 90 days, we will consider you successful if you have:

• Mapped the firm's active initiative landscape and established a shared view of priorities, owners, and status that leadership actually trusts.
• Taken clear ownership of at least two major ongoing projects and visibly moved them forward.
• Built credibility with key stakeholders across trading, compliance, technology, and operations — they are coming to you, not around you.
• Identified at least one operational gap or inefficiency and proposed a practical fix.
