Project Summary

We are looking for a Project & Product Manager to join a 7-person IT team (2 PMs, 5 developers) supporting short-term energy trading and renewable operations. The team maintains business-critical in-house applications where any issue can directly impact the business, so priorities change daily between regulatory projects, larger projects and ad-hoc requests from business owners. The role is the first filter between the business and the developers, with a hands-on profile able to support the team technically when needed.

Main Responsibilities

• Sit with business stakeholders to gather and analyse requirements, and translate them into functional specs and Jira tickets.
• Prioritise and balance incoming requests, incidents and project work across the developers (Kanban).
• Take part in the on-call rotation: triage user-reported issues in the support chat and assign them, or solve simple ones directly.
• Coordinate and communicate releases, and trigger deployments through existing automated pipelines.
• Unblock the team by chasing dependencies with infrastructure, network and other IT teams.
• Prepare functional documentation and track and report on project progress.

Mandatory Experience

• 4+ years as Project Manager, Product Owner or similar in IT environments
• Experience coordinating a development team day to day with Kanban/Agile and Jira
• Hands-on technical profile: incident analysis, small fixes, running pipelines and deployments (no development role, but comfortable getting into the detail)
• Working knowledge of cloud architecture (Azure and/or AWS) used in day-to-day operations
• Understanding of software architecture, APIs and data flows, to discuss on equal terms with developers

Preferred Experience

• Knowledge of energy markets or trading environments
• Familiarity with Python and Angular

Education

• University degree in Engineering or a similar technical field, and/or relevant IT sector experience.
