Senior Project Manager - Infrastructure & Operations

DRW is a diversified trading firm with over 3 decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk.

Headquartered in Chicago with offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, we trade a variety of asset classes including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy across all major global markets. We have also leveraged our expertise and technology to expand into three non-traditional strategies: real estate, venture capital and cryptoassets.

We operate with respect, curiosity and open minds. The people who thrive here share our belief that it’s not just what we do that matters–it's how we do it. DRW is a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will own the delivery of complex infrastructure projects end-to-end within Infrastructure & Operations (IO), managing multiple projects concurrently from initiation through production deployment, and be held accountable for the outcome, not just the plan. Operating as a central point of coordination across data centers, hardware platforms, network connectivity, and foundational IT services, you translate technical complexity into clear plans, align competing priorities, and drive accountability across engineering teams.

This is not a generalist PM seat. Success demands genuine technical fluency: you engage engineers as a credible peer, understand their constraints, and earn trust through competence, not process for its own sake. You'll move work forward with urgency across demanding, sometimes highly sensitive environments where the technology backbone directly supports the firm's ability to trade. Change windows and occasional weekend cutovers come with the territory.

This is a high-performance team inside a high-performance firm. Expectations are high, the pace is fast, and the way we work is changing rapidly, particularly in how we use AI to manage scale and complexity. We need people who are curious about it, experiment constantly, and constructively challenge how things are done, including our own practices.

This role is for you if you take ownership instinctively, communicate honestly even when the news is difficult, operate with minimal oversight, and adapt fast. It's not for you if you need a defined playbook, defer accountability to committees, or measure your work in status updates rather than delivered outcomes.

What You Will Do

• Lead and coordinate implementation of infrastructure projects spanning data center builds, expansions, and migrations; hardware platforms; network connectivity; security and access controls; and foundational IT services.

• Drive a portfolio of concurrent projects to completion, owning coordination, visibility, and risk across all of them, and holding the delivery team accountable to scope and timeline with minimal disruption to business operations.

• Own the bill of materials (BOM) for each project: assembling, reviewing, and maintaining accuracy across hardware and services. Partner with procurement and provisioning teams to source hardware and circuits. Cost visibility flows from the BOM, so you own it end-to-end.
