Overview

Technical Project Manager – Financial Technology – Peterborough / Hybrid

Noir Peterborough, England, United Kingdom

Are you a driven and methodical Technical Project Manager who thrives on leading complex initiatives across dynamic, cross-functional teams? Do you want to deliver technology that powers critical platforms in the financial sector, while maintaining strong process discipline and stakeholder transparency? If so, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Our client, a leading financial-adjacent technology provider, is seeking a Technical Project Manager to join its growing programme delivery function in Peterborough. With an exciting roadmap of digital products and system upgrades ahead, they are looking for an experienced project leader who can bring structure, clarity and execution focus to high-priority technology projects.

In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of project execution – from planning and milestone tracking to delivery and post-launch governance. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across product management, development, QA, and IT operations to ensure that project objectives are met on time, within budget, and in accordance with quality standards. You’ll manage SDLC activities using both Scrum and Kanban, facilitate Agile ceremonies, administer collaboration tools like Jira and SharePoint, and coach newly formed teams on Agile best practices.

Your day-to-day will include maintaining detailed project plans, leading scope discussions, running stand-ups and steering meetings, managing team capacity and dependencies, and serving as a key escalation point for project risks and blockers. You will also coordinate with offshore teams, support backlog prioritisation, and present regular status updates to senior stakeholders and portfolio leads. On occasion, you will co-manage personnel in distributed environments where direct reporting lines are limited.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need over five years of experience managing multiple concurrent IT projects within Agile environments. You\'ll have strong communication and leadership skills, be highly competent with Jira, MS Project, and PowerPoint, and have a track record of successfully delivering in fast-paced, matrixed organisations. A PMP certification is essential, and Scrum Master certification is highly desirable. Familiarity with change management processes, especially within a software or product-focused business, will be a major advantage.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a capable and confident Project Manager to take a leading role in delivering high-impact technology solutions at the core of a respected financial tech business.
