JOB DESCRIPTION

Our Trading and Risk technology estate is entering a multi-year period of structural change. We are modernising our infrastructure, moving core systems to the public cloud, and re-platforming the applications that produce the firm's positions, P&L and risk - all while those systems continue to run in full production every day. In parallel, we are replacing a core book-of-record accounting capability and re-wiring how Risk consumes that data. Cloud Transition (Trading & Risk) The Program Manager will drive two tightly-coupled challenges as our applications move to the cloud. First, materially reducing our legacy on-premise database footprint - both hardware and, above all, the volume of stored data - by coordinating the application-team cleanup, rationalisation and data-tiering effort that infrastructure teams cannot deliver alone. Second, managing the performance implications of a hybrid operating model, where applications move to the cloud ahead of certain data stores: the PM will lead the program to get application teams to profile and optimise their data interactions so they remain performant through the transition, against a backdrop of continuous production use and no tolerance for service degradation. Book-of-Record Replacement & Risk Integration Over a multi-year horizon the firm is replacing a core accounting book-of-record capability and standing up new position and accounting services, while retiring legacy tooling. The Program Manager will ensure our Risk systems integrate cleanly with the new platform and transition off the incumbent solutions as the source of intraday and end-of-day positions and P&L; coordinate against the provider's technology roadmap and its regulatory milestones; and manage the sequencing and reconciliation risk of running this replacement in parallel with related front- and middle-office tooling changes. A firmwide middle-office modernisation effort will be driving this forward; this role provides the delivery leadership from the Risk & Reporting side to keep the two in lockstep.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Own end-to-end program planning, roadmap and execution across both workstreams - scope, milestones, dependencies, RAID and governance reporting to senior stakeholders. Drive delivery teams to concrete, measurable outcomes and hold delivery lines accountable to firm deadlines. Partner across infrastructure, application engineering, operations technology and external technology providers. Establish the instrumentation and evidence base needed to diagnose issues on data rather than anecdote, and manage program financials and cloud-commitment implications
