Job summary

Capital, a leading trading platform, is expanding globally and seeks a Technical Product Operations Manager. You will own cross-team technical programs spanning migrations, decommissioning shared dependencies, and automation initiatives.

You’ll work with engineers, drive data-backed decisions, and apply AI to improve throughput and quality without people management duties. This hands-on, technical role requires reading architecture diagrams, SQL proficiency, and strong stakeholder facilitation.

Qualifications

• Degree in STEM or other quantitative field.
• Minimum 4 years of experience in technical programme management, engineering operations, or delivery management within a high-performance software engineering environment.
• Proven track record of delivering cross-team technical programmes in a multi-team organisation.
• Strong technical understanding of modern software systems, including services, deployments, queues, metrics, Kubernetes, Kafka, CI/CD, releases, and rollbacks.
• Ability to read architecture diagrams, tech design documents, and ADRs, and judge whether they are ready for review.
• Proficiency in SQL and comfort working with dashboards, APIs, and Jira.
• Practical experience using AI tools to improve personal and team productivity.
• Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills, with the confidence to drive decisions where ownership is unclear.
• Clear, concise written communication for senior audiences.
• Strong ownership mentality: proactive, accountable, and execution‑focused.

Responsibilities

• Run cross-team technical programs such as platform migrations, dependency removals, standardisation initiatives, decommissioning, and large infrastructure changes.
• For each one, break broad goals into sequenced plans with named owners.
• Find the right decision-makers when ownership is unclear, facilitate technical discussions, and secure clear decisions with committed dates.
• Maintain a single, accurate view of each programme's phase, blockers, owners, and delivery dates.
• Raise conflicts between sources rather than smoothing them over.
• Produce concise, accurate status reporting that engineering leadership can act on.
• Drive and improve company-wide engineering processes, such as tech design review.
• Establish new processes, run cadence, templates, queues, and follow-through.
• Gather feedback from engineers and turn findings into concrete process changes.
• Instrument processes so their health is measured rather than assumed.
