Capco is seeking experienced Senior Project Managers to lead strategic and operational change initiatives within leading Energy Trading organisations.

This is primarily a Programme Delivery role, suited to individuals who have successfully delivered large-scale business and technology transformation programmes within Energy Trading organisations.

Working across business and technology teams, you will be responsible for driving the successful delivery of complex transformation programmes spanning Front Office Trading, Commercial Operations, Risk, Settlements, Data, and Technology functions. You will manage delivery from initiation through implementation, ensuring programmes are delivered on time, within budget, and aligned to business objectives.

• Establish and manage project governance, delivery plans, RAID logs, dependencies, budgets, and reporting activities.

• Coordinate cross-functional teams including business stakeholders, Product Owners, Architects, Developers, QA teams, and third-party vendors.

• Proven Project Management experience delivering large (£5m+) change programmes within Energy Trading environments, with personal accountability for successful end-to-end delivery.

• Strong understanding of one or more domains including Front Office Trading, Commercial Operations, Risk Management, Settlements, Pricing, Analytics, or Trading Operations.

• Experience delivering ETRM/CTRM implementations or enhancements involving Endur, Allegro, RightAngle, Openlink, or similar commodity trading platforms.

• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, leadership, and governance skills with the ability to operate across business and technology teams.

• Experience managing complex delivery programmes within Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid environments.

• Knowledge of nominations, scheduling, confirmations, settlements, invoicing, pricing, market risk, credit risk, P&L, valuation, forecasting, or trading analytics.

• Experience leading cloud transformation, data platform, integration, analytics, reporting, or market data initiatives.

• Professional certifications such as PRINCE2, PMP, AgilePM, Scrum Master, SAFe, or equivalent.

• Understanding of energy supply and demand fundamentals, pricing curves, market data, and trading operations.

• Deliver high-impact transformation programmes for some of the world's leading Energy Trading organisations.

• Work in a collaborative, flat, and entrepreneurial consulting culture where your ideas and expertise make a difference.
