Project Manager (Special Projects)

Описание

We're looking for a Project Manager to join our Special Projects team to drive tier-1 priority cross-functional projects to results — from market entries, business development, and marketing to building internal IT products. We work in High-Frequency Trading (HFT), solving complex problems at the intersection of technology, mathematics, and business. These problems have no off-the-shelf solutions, and we compete daily on quality and speed with the strongest teams in the world. What you will own End-to-end project management: from defining the goal and decomposition through implementation and delivering business results. Research for management decisions: market, competitors, new approaches, validation of marketing and product hypotheses, development of new business initiatives. Launching new business initiatives: from researching locations for new offices and trademark registration to building internal IT products and developing the brand in CIS markets and abroad. Vendor selection and validation, negotiations, and management of external and internal project teams. Communication with stakeholders and the fund's top management: regular reporting, meetings, alignment on key decisions. Raising the quality bar:* continuously setting new standards for the entire team. Decision-making under high uncertainty: where there's no ready solution or clear specification. Process optimization and AI tool implementation in the team's workflow and your own projects. What we expect from you 2.5+ years of end-to-end project management experience in marketing, strategy, research, or business development — at technology companies, strategy consultancies, or top marketing/bizdev/research agencies. Cross-functional experience — you haven't worked in a narrow role but have taken ownership of different parts of projects. You've driven results personally, not just coordinated processes. Confident command of project management tools — decomposition, budget, timelines, resources, risks; understanding of frameworks (Gantt, RACI, risk matrix, OKR) and the judgment to choose which ones to apply. Analytical mindset — you can work with data and metrics, have a basic understanding of statistics for decision-making, and are comfortable processing large volumes of information. Active use of AI in your work — not only for research and writing, but through cowork/code modes, automations, and integrations with other tools. English at Upper-Intermediate (B2) level or higher. Nice to have STEM background — bachelor's/master's degree, STEM-focused secondary education, courses, or university subjects (e.g., Python). Experience with full-cycle marketing, content or performance marketing, expertise in media, PR, or Telegram channels. Product management skills and experience leading the development of IT products. Experience working at international companies or in international markets. Scientific publications and experience preparing academic research. Knowledge of foreign languages beyond English. What we offer Transparent compensation system: fixed salary + semi-annual performance bonus. Everything you need for rapid growth: expertise across key business areas and as much responsibility as you can carry. Startup flexibility, enterprise resources: short time-to-market, no bureaucracy or formal constraints + substantial financial resources, access to top contractors, consultants, and tools. A strong team: managers from tier-1 companies, ex-Big-3/Big-4, with international expertise. Real ownership of business-level projects: launching from scratch with the ability to influence business outcomes. Unique business context: multiple markets, an industry at the intersection of finance and technology, one of the highest Revenue per Employee figures in the world — a setting you won't find anywhere else. Comprehensive care for employees: Private medical insurance, including dental. Corporate events in different parts of the world. In-office meals from the best restaurants.
