• Plan, lead, and deliver OMS implementations, enhancements, and upgrades, including managing timelines, resources, and budgets.
• Architect data integrations and support data flow mappings across trade lifecycle systems.
• Leverage APIs and web services to extend platform functionality, as needed.
• Prepare and execute test cases, conduct unit testing, and coordinate with QA teams.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously across client engagements.
• Maintain strong stakeholder relationships and deliver high-quality consulting outcomes.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Must be authorized to work in the UK.
• 3+ years of experience working with Charles River Investment Management System (CRIMS), specifically with Manager Workbench and Trading Blotter modules.
• Experience in workflow design and customization within Charles River OMS.
• Strong understanding of trade lifecycle and front-to-back processes across multiple asset classes (Equities, Fixed Income, FX, Derivatives, etc.).
• Proven experience gathering requirements and translating them into functional/technical specs.
• Hands-on development or scripting experience in C#, Python, and/or Java in enterprise environments.
• Proficiency with SQL (T-SQL or PL/SQL) for data analysis and reporting.
• Familiarity with integration protocols including FIX, Bloomberg Trading, and OMGEO/CTM.
• Working knowledge of Portfolio Management Systems, Security Master, and P&L/Accounting Data is advantageous.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong analytical mindset and ability to work independently in a client-facing role.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with exotic derivatives and/or structured products.
• Experience with Factset’s Portware (EMS).
