Technical Program Manager – Amsterdam

A leading global trading firm is hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to help scale and evolve the systems that underpin its performance in the financial markets. This team operates infrastructure optimized for speed, reliability, and scale and partners closely with world-class engineers to deliver large, complex programs across data centers, hardware and global network connectivity.

This role is ideal for someone who combines technical depth with exceptional execution, able to lead programs that enable growth while maintaining uncompromising standards of quality and resilience.

In a fast-paced environment, the Senior Technical Program Manager will work alongside engineers and senior leaders to deliver multiple concurrent initiatives that support strategic growth. The work spans program design, cross-team coordination, delivery governance and operational maturity.

What You Will Do:

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead delivery of global infrastructure programs, ranging from data center expansion and hardware lifecycle management to network and platform modernization.

• Partner with engineering and operations leadership to define scope, manage dependencies, and drive execution across multiple teams.

• Build program frameworks to track progress, manage risk, and improve delivery predictability (e.g., milestones, RAID logs, critical path, reporting cadences).

• Drive continuous improvement in infrastructure planning, capacity management, and process maturity.

• Ensure alignment across infrastructure, development, and trading stakeholders, balancing performance needs with reliability and risk management.

• Own communication for complex programs, providing crisp updates to senior stakeholders and enabling rapid decision-making

 

Who You Are:

• 5+ years of experience in technical program management and/or engineering within infrastructure, hardware, networks, or other high performance environments.

• Strong technical understanding of data centers, compute, storage, and network systems (enough depth to challenge assumptions and drive the right trade-offs).

• Proven success leading large-scale, complex infrastructure delivery programs, often involving vendors, long lead times, and global coordination.

• A structured, analytical approach to problem-solving with a strong bias for action.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience operating with senior technical leadership.

• High ownership: self-motivated, proactive, and effective in environments where direction may be minimal or evolving.

• A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related STEM discipline (or equivalent experience).

 

You will get:

• Performance-based variable compensation with excellent growth trajectory.

• Generous time off, 25 days in your first year, increasing to 30 days from your second year onwards

• Full relocation support, including budget, flights, house-finding assistance and expat onboarding.

• Continuous learning including training budgets, conferences, and technical events

• Daily fresh meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) from our in-house chef.

• Regular social events, Friday drinks, and a collaborative team culture.

• Travel reimbursement to and from the office.

 

Why join?

This role offers the chance to operate at the intersection of infrastructure engineering and high-performance trading, where execution quality and technical rigor directly impact business outcomes. The environment is collaborative, high standards, and improvement-driven, ideal for someone who enjoys solving hard problems with talented people.
