Mustard Systems is a team of roughly 65 dedicated to developing market leading sports models and trading strategies. Our aim is to predict sport as accurately as possible, and we achieve this by combining large, rapidly changing datasets with home grown software and statistical models. We enjoy a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, offering fresh challenges which are both rewarding and enjoyable. Our ambitions are high, aiming to create best-in-class systems in a highly competitive field.
We are looking for a capable project manager to join our Project Management team. You will be handling task management and facilitation for at least two development teams. You will follow existing processes and collaborate with others to tailor those processes as necessary, or introduce new ones, as business needs change. This role is a contract basis for 3-6 months.
About the Team
The Project Management Team is currently three people. Within this function of the business, we own managing expectations as well as anticipating and removing those blockers which could stop a project from happening. We value an ability to sensibly apply and modify processes to support productivity over the slavish adherence to "the book".
The company is relatively new to some processes such as long-term planning and goal-setting and it is part of our responsibility to support improvement in these areas.
Your day to day is likely to involve:
1. Ensuring various needed catch-ups (Stand-Ups, Plan Reviews, etc) run quickly and efficiently, with the correct information properly transferred.
2. Checking in on various actions across the company that affect your delivery.
3. Setting current expectations for the project with stakeholders.
4. Checking in with team members to ensure that they have communicated blockers and issues.
Requirements
What we're looking for:
1. Excellent organisational skills
2. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
3. Excellent expectation management and risk management skills
4. The ability to ask the right questions needed to make milestones
5. The ability to then follow up on those milestones in a polite but firm way
6. Experience in an agile environment
7. Experience interacting with technical teams and in questioning estimates, etc. to ensure the correct information is represented to the business
8. 5 years of commercial experience in a Project Management role in technology
Desirable experience:
1. Business Analysis experience
2. Project Management qualifications (e.g., PRINCE2, SCRUM, PMP)
The recruitment process will start with an initial video call interview with one of the other project managers.
If successful, that will be followed by a face to face stage with some project managers and a small number of others from the business.
Benefits
Why join Mustard Systems?
1. Work on cutting-edge systems in a competitive and innovative field.
2. Collaborate with a smart, driven team, where your contributions directly impact business performance.
3. Opportunity to drive the company's technical direction and double its revenue in the next three years.
Comprehensive benefits, including:
1. Enhanced pension match with salary sacrifice option.
2. Health insurance and life assurance.
3. Sabbatical leave after five years.
4. 33 days of annual leave (including bank holidays).
We have a hybrid working approach at Mustard Systems. We enjoy working and collaborating together and require people to be in our Hammersmith office three days a week on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. If you require any additional flexibility, please let our hiring team know as part of the recruitment process.
