Risk and Analytics Special Projects Manager

PIMCO • Newport Beach, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

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. We are seeking a senior Program Manager to own delivery across these two interlocking programs: a hands-on, outcome-oriented leader who has run large cross-functional transformation in a trading and risk context, is comfortable at the intersection of infrastructure, application engineering and the business, and can pull disparate teams toward hard, time-boxed goals.

Requirements

• 12+ years leading large, complex technology transformation programs in financial services, ideally in a trading, risk or investment-management context
• Demonstrated success combining cloud/infrastructure migration with application re-engineering under live production constraints
• Hands-on experience with public-cloud migration at scale, including the operational and performance trade-offs of a hybrid estate
• Strong grounding in front-to-back trading/risk or investment-accounting systems (positions, P&L, book-of-record integration)
• Proven ability to lead delivery across organizational boundaries and drive teams that do not report to them
• Excellent stakeholder management up to C-suite; clear, evidence-based communication
• Formal program/project management credentials (PMP; SAFe/Agile)

Nice To Haves

• Regulatory-driven transformation experience (e.g. settlement or capital-related mandates)
• Experience with large-scale data-store modernisation and migration
• Risk/finance qualifications (FRM, CFA) a plus

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.

Benefits

• education reimbursements
• ongoing training in technology, communication, and diversity & inclusion
• total compensation approach which includes a base salary and a discretionary bonus
