Senior Project Manager, Trade Execution Management Systems (TEMS) - Financial Solutions

Bloomberg TEMS builds and delivers high-performance distributed systems that streamline the trading and transacting of money and financial assets. Our platform empowers clients to compose, adapt, and scale intelligent systems for Fixed Income markets with a level of configurability and control that was previously impossible. Our Project Managers lead client engagements alongside our Software Integration Engineers. The engineers are responsible for technical delivery: how the software is built, integrated, tested and deployed safely into production. Project Managers are accountable for project delivery: the outcome, the milestones, and the risks from signed contract through go-live and into steady state. You'll run several client engagements at once across tier-one banks, asset managers and hedge funds. The role is central to how we scale delivery as our product footprint grows. As a Project Manager, we'll expect you to: Be accountable for project outcomes across several concurrent client engagements. Each one implements Bloomberg TEMS order and execution management platforms across Fixed Income workflows, including government bonds, rates, repo, credit and money markets. Partner with the Software Integration Engineers to turn customer committed scope into delivery plans, milestones and go-live schedules, and hold the engagement to them. Work with core engineering teams to track product deliveries your engagements depend on, keep them aligned with client milestones, and act early when they slip. That means agreeing re-plans, workarounds or scope trade-offs, and resetting client expectations where needed. Identify and flag risks early, and problem-solve issues and blockers so delivery keeps moving. Bring in the right engineering, product or client stakeholders to unblock them. Protect scope and commercials. Log change requests, assess their impact on scope and timelines, and raise them with the product team for prioritisation. Track time-and-materials effort against budget, and flag burn and margin risk before it lands. Partner with Professional Services leadership to manage client expectations and sentiment. Provide early warning when a relationship is at risk, align on messaging before difficult conversations, and represent delivery in account reviews and steering committees. Partner with Software Integration Engineers so that technical plans, dependencies and environment readiness line up with project milestones through UAT, client QA sign-off and production cutover. Maintain risk, issue and decision logs that give leadership a clear view of delivery health across all clients. Feed capacity planning by forecasting consultant and PM demand across active projects and pipeline, so staffing decisions are made ahead of need. Build, maintain and continuously improve the team's standard delivery framework of templates, tooling, runbooks and governance artefacts. The framework is used across all engagements so that delivery is consistent, knowledge is shared, and any PM can pick up any account. Capture delivery lessons and client use cases, and feed them into the product roadmap and repeatable implementation patterns. This is not a status-reporting role. Our Software Integration Engineers make sure the software is technically sound, matches what the client expects and works in production. You make sure the project delivers: on plan, on scope, with risks surfaced and blockers cleared.

5+ years leading multi-disciplinary teams, ideally software implementations in capital markets, electronic trading or fintech.
