About the Opportunity

Linedata is seeking an experienced consultant to support an investment management client’s continued rollout of Orchestrade, a third-party investment management platform. The platform is already live, and this assignment will focus on expanding adoption across portfolio managers while strengthening the workflows and controls supporting the full trade lifecycle. Working within a small transformation team, you will partner directly with Operations, Trading, Technology, Risk, and Accounting. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who combines deep fixed income trade operations knowledge with experience delivering trading systems implementations.

Please note

This engagement supports an external investment management client and is not a position within Linedata's software development or product teams.

Responsibilities

Own implementation workstreams, manage delivery milestones, and coordinate issue resolution across business and technology teams.

Gather and translate operational and trading requirements into clear workflows, functional specifications, and implementation tasks.

Support Orchestrade configuration, data mapping, and validation across trading and operational processes.

Develop and execute test plans covering trade capture, booking, lifecycle events, and downstream processing.

Investigate discrepancies, track defects, and validate fixes with business users and technology partners.

Support portfolio manager onboarding, develop training materials, and guide users through new functionality and workflows.

Identify opportunities to improve straight-through processing, operational efficiency, and middle and back office controls.

Qualifications

At least 10 years of relevant hedge fund or investment management experience across operations and operational systems implementation.

Strong fixed income trade operations experience, including hands-on desk support, trade booking, and knowledge of the full trade lifecycle.

Hands-on experience with order management systems and portfolio management systems.

Demonstrated success delivering systems implementations, including requirements gathering, configuration, data validation, testing, and user adoption.

Ability to work effectively with portfolio managers, traders, operations professionals, and technology teams.

Strong analytical, communication, and organizational skills, with the ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables.

Preferred Skills

Direct Orchestrade implementation experience gained at an investment management firm, consulting partner, or Orchestrade.

A career combining hands-on trade operations with systems implementation and operational transformation.

Prior Director or Head of Operations experience, with a continued interest in hands-on project delivery.

Knowledge of listed instruments, OTC products, complex derivatives, and multi-asset operational workflows.

If you understand how trades move from the investment desk through operational processing and can translate that knowledge into effective systems and workflows, we would welcome a conversation.

Please note

We are seeking independent consultants who can contract directly with Linedata on a 1099 basis or through their own LLC. No staffing agencies or third-party recruiters, please.
