Project Manager

Location: Chicago, IL or New York, NY

Salary Range: $125,000 - $150,000

(Base salary is only one part of Group One Trading's total compensation, which includes an annual discretionary bonus.)

Our Project Managers drive the planning and execution of technology initiatives across our proprietary trading platform and infrastructure. They work closely with software engineers, systems engineers, traders, and business stakeholders to turn complex objectives into well-defined plans, maintain focus on the highest-priority work, and drive projects through completion.

• 3+ years of project management experience in software development, trading technology, or another technically complex environment
• Demonstrated ability to drive complex projects from initial definition through successful delivery
• Ability to translate business and technical objectives into clear requirements, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent initiatives without losing sight of details or broader objectives
• Experience managing software development backlogs and facilitating effective planning and prioritization
• Ability to identify dependencies, risks, and roadblocks early and drive them toward resolution
• Strong judgment around priorities, tradeoffs, and when issues require escalation
• Excellent written and verbal communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Ability to establish accountability and maintain momentum across teams without relying on direct reporting authority
• Experience with Jira or comparable project and issue-tracking systems

Experience working within an electronic trading firm, financial markets, or another real-time production technology environment is strongly preferred.

Our Project Managers earn a competitive salary, including a performance-based bonus. We provide fantastic benefits, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k) retirement plans with employer matching, medical, dental, vision, generous vacation time, paid holidays, parental leave, and flexible spending accounts (FSA) for health care, dependent daycare, and parking or mass transit expenses.
