Technical Project Manager
Full TimeJob Overview
Markets never sleep and at White Swan Data we analyse markets 24/7, 365 days a year. As we continue to expand our footprint across exchange platforms and prediction markets, we are seeking a motivated project manager to fuel and structure our next phase of development.
This is a rare opportunity to join a team in its early stages, where many of the processes, tools, and ways of working are still being defined. You will play a key role not just in delivering projects, but in shaping how the team operates as it scales.
Project management plays a critical role in ensuring our technical teams deliver quickly, effectively, and with clarity in a complex, fast-moving trading environment. You will get the opportunity to work with our technical teams (Software Developers & Mathematicians/Quants), help them build infrastructure and maintain momentum across their projects whilst driving and maintaining high standards.
Ideally applicants will have a minimum 3+ years’ experience as a Technical Project Manager, although we will consider applications from highly motivated, well organised and eager junior project managers. Some experience in any role within technical projects is a must, with gambling or trading experience a significant plus.
This is an office-based role where you will be expected to be in our London office 5 days a week.
Key Responsibilities
- As the Technical Project Manager, you will be responsible for owning and driving project roadmaps across multiple technical initiatives.

- Working closely with our diverse teams, including engineering, quants, business development, data science, and trading, to foster cooperation and synergy, enabling the prioritisation and timely delivery of projects.
- You will oversee the delivery of business-critical technical infrastructure, projects and liaise with all stakeholders across the business.
- Manage risk across the technology work streams on both short and longer-term horizons.
