Project Manager, IT Project Manager

As a Project Manager at MACH, you will lead the delivery of technology programmes in the blockchain and distributed ledger technology space, working across software development life cycles and client implementations within financial services. You will define scope, coordinate cross-functional teams, and drive projects from initiation to closure, ensuring outcomes are delivered on time and to the standard our clients expect. You will be the central point of accountability for project governance, stakeholder communication, and risk management across technically complex and fast-moving engagements.

• Day-to-day management of technology delivery programmes, acting as the central point of contact for all project stakeholders across MACH and the client organisation.

• Own and manage project governance including stakeholder mapping, scheduling of governance forums (e.g. Operating & Steering Committees) and all associated documentation (e.g. project charters, plans, status reports, terms of reference).

• Ensure appropriate resourcing is in place across software engineering, blockchain development, and business analysis work streams to meet delivery commitments.

• Maintain and actively manage the project plan and RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies), with particular attention to technical dependencies between blockchain components, APIs, and client infrastructure.

• Coordinate end-to-end delivery of project work streams, from requirements and design through development, testing, and go-live, in close collaboration with engineering and business analysis teams.

• Build and manage relationships with client and internal stakeholders, calibrating communication frequency and depth to the audience, from technical leads to C-suite.

• Ensure all decisions and outcomes are documented via minutes, sign-offs, and formal project artefacts, maintaining an auditable record throughout the delivery lifecycle.

• Support the project team in resolving and escalating risks and issues, facilitating lessons-learned reviews at key milestones to drive continuous improvement across MACH’s delivery practice.

• Identify and actively manage cross-functional interdependencies, including those between blockchain protocol development, platform integration, and client-side change programmes.

• Undertake other programme delivery roles and responsibilities as required, including supporting bid activity, client onboarding, and internal capability development.

• Hands-on project management experience delivering technology or software development programmes, ideally within financial services or fintech.

• Solid background in financial services, with sufficient understanding of capital markets, post-trade infrastructure, or digital asset ecosystems to engage credibly with both clients and technical teams.

• Strong grasp of both Agile and waterfall delivery methodologies, with practical experience applying Agile/Scrum in software development contexts alongside structured governance for client-facing programmes.

• Stakeholder management skills and excellent verbal and written communication, with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences and commercial context for engineering teams.
