Technical Project Manager
Location: Edinburgh or Glasgow (Hybrid - 3 days onsite, 2 from home)
The Role
We're working with a growing and highly regarded organisation in the financial services space, looking to appoint a Technical Project Manager to support a range of complex, business-critical technology initiatives.
This is a delivery-focused role where you'll take ownership of projects end-to-end - driving delivery across the full SDLC, from initial scoping and planning through to implementation and post-go-live support. You'll be working at the intersection of business and technology, ensuring solutions are delivered effectively while aligning to both client and regulatory expectations.
The environment is fast-paced and collaborative, with a strong emphasis on quality, governance, and stakeholder engagement.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll be responsible for leading and delivering multiple technology projects, ensuring they are executed successfully across scope, time, and budget.
Day-to-day you will:
1. Own end-to-end project delivery across the full lifecycle (initiation through to delivery and closure)
2. Manage project scope, timelines, budgets, and governance frameworks
3. Work closely with technical teams, business stakeholders, and senior leadership
4. Oversee resource planning and allocation, ensuring delivery capability is aligned to demand
5. Drive structured delivery through Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methodologies
6. Track progress and performance using tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps
7. Lead risk identification and mitigation, including cross-project dependencies
8. Facilitate UAT phases and ensure successful business adoption
9. Build strong relationships with stakeholders, acting as a trusted delivery partner
About You
You'll be an experienced Technical Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering technology projects within financial services or similarly regulated environments.
We're particularly interested in candidates who bring:
10. Proven experience delivering end-to-end technology projects across the full SDLC
11. Background in financial services, fintech, payments, insurance, or asset/investment management
12. Strong technical understanding - comfortable working with engineering and delivery teams
13. Experience managing complex stakeholder environments, including senior and C-suite stakeholders
14. Solid grounding in project governance, risk management, and delivery controls
15. Exposure to UAT, change management, and implementation phases
16. Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar
17. A recognised PM certification (PRINCE2, PMP, Agile/Scrum) is desirable
Experience delivering into external clients or SaaS environments is beneficial, but not essential.
Why Join
This is an opportunity to join a business that is investing heavily in its technology and delivery capability, with a strong pipeline of work and clear growth plans.
You'll benefit from:
18. A high-impact role with real ownership and visibility
19. Exposure to complex, large-scale transformation projects
20. A collaborative and supportive delivery environment
21. Clear opportunities for career progression and development
