Technical Debt Pm

Technical Debt Project Manager 
Glasgow

As a Barclays Technical Debt Project Manage, you will be responsible for providing leadership for several critical Technical Debt projects for Markets Pre-Trade Technology to ensure adoption of common patterns and technical capabilities. You will have exposure across the entire Markets Pre-Trade application estate supporting teams overcome delivery challenges. You will also have a chance to be taking the lead on thematic issues and risks collaborating with partners to ensure we have agreed patterns and technical capabilities to mitigate delivery delays.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
