Technology Project Manager (Murex/Treasury)

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Technical Project Manager to join a leading financial institution in Kuala Lumpur, where you will play a pivotal role in delivering strategic technology projects within the Treasury and Risk domain. This position offers you the chance to work on high-impact regulatory initiatives and capital efficiency programmes that span multiple markets, supporting mission-critical systems across FX, Derivatives, Fixed Income, and Money Market instruments.

What you'll do:

Success in this role hinges on your capacity for clear communication across diverse audiences as well as your dedication to nurturing a collaborative team environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute their expertise.

• Lead the technical planning and delivery of end-to-end projects within the Treasury and Risk domain, ensuring all objectives are achieved on time and within scope.
• Coordinate effectively with business analysts, development teams, quality assurance professionals, infrastructure engineers, and third-party vendors to align deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure all system designs adhere strictly to enterprise architecture standards as well as security protocols and regulatory requirements relevant to banking technology environments.
• Monitor project risks and issues proactively by developing resolution plans in collaboration with stakeholders and escalating blockers when necessary to maintain momentum.
• Support every phase of the project lifecycle—including System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), performance testing, and security validation—to guarantee robust system implementation.
• Take ownership of implementation strategies and cutover plans to minimise production disruption during go-live events or major releases.
• Communicate clearly and regularly with both technical teams and business stakeholders to foster alignment, transparency, and shared understanding of project goals.
• Track progress against delivery milestones using established governance frameworks while ensuring comprehensive documentation compliance at each stage.
• Champion best practices in DevOps, cloud adoption, integration methodologies, and security practices throughout all phases of project delivery.
• Facilitate knowledge transfer sessions post-implementation to support ongoing system maintenance and user adoption.

What you bring:

Your educational foundation is complemented by industry-recognised certifications that further demonstrate your commitment to professional excellence.

• A minimum of 10 years’ experience in IT roles with at least 3 years dedicated to managing complex technical projects within large-scale organisations.
• Proven track record working with Treasury systems or Trading/Risk platforms such as Murex, Calypso or Summit; direct experience is highly valued but not mandatory.
• Comprehensive understanding of project governance frameworks alongside practical knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodologies including agile and waterfall approaches.
• Hands-on background in systems development, integration or solution architecture which enables effective oversight of technical deliverables from inception through deployment.
• Demonstrated skill in stakeholder engagement—building trust-based relationships with business users as well as technical contributors—and coordinating vendor activities for optimal outcomes.
• Previous exposure to banking or capital markets environments is highly desirable given the regulatory focus of these projects.
• Comfort operating under pressure within fast-evolving regulatory landscapes while maintaining composure and attention to detail at all times.
• Familiarity with programming languages (Java/Python/Shell scripting), integration tools (Kafka/MQ/APIs), databases (Oracle/Sybase/SQL/Hadoop/Spark), analytics platforms (Power BI), cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/Red Hat/Linux/Docker/Kubernetes), DevOps toolchains (Jenkins/Git/Bitbucket/Maven/Ansible), testing suites (Selenium/JUnit/LoadRunner/JMeter), project management software (JIRA/Confluence/ServiceNow), and security practices (Fortify/SonarQube/TLS/authentication protocols).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or related discipline is required; additional certifications such as PMP/PRINCE2/Scrum Master or cloud credentials are advantageous.
