Trinity House Group
We are seeking an experienced PMS Implementation Lead to drive the end-to-end delivery of a new Portfolio Management System (PMS) within a complex multi-asset investment environment. The programme is at execution stage, with the strategic design and data migration approach already approved. This role will take ownership of implementation, operational readiness, and go-live success.
The organisation is evaluating leading platforms including Dynamo Software, eFront (BlackRock), MSCI, and Solovis (now part of Allvue Systems), depending on final architecture and asset coverage requirements.
This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep operational expertise, strong systems implementation experience, and the ability to translate target operating models into live production environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the full PMS implementation lifecycle from detailed design through to go-live and stabilisation
- Own the operational readiness plan, including UAT strategy, parallel run, and cutover execution
- Coordinate across vendors, internal operations, custodians, fund administrators, and data providers
- Define and enforce front-to-back operational workflows (trade capture, pricing, reconciliation, valuation, reporting)
- Oversee data migration validation, including positions, transactions, securities master, and performance history
- Design and run parallel accounting / NAV validation processes to ensure accuracy and control
- Manage issue resolution, break management, and production readiness governance
- Ensure integration of PMS with surrounding ecosystem (pricing feeds, OMS/EMS, risk systems, reporting tools)
- Act as the operational authority ensuring the system is fit for purpose at go-live and beyond
Required Experience
- Proven track record delivering at least 1-3 full PMS / investment accounting system implementations
- Strong understanding of buy-side investment operations, ideally across multi-asset or alternatives environments
- Hands-on experience with systems such as:
- Dynamo, eFront, Solovis / Allvue, or similar investment platforms
- Experience working with or alongside analytics / risk systems such as MSCI or Barra-style models
- Deep knowledge of data reconciliation, NAV validation, and shadow accounting processes
- Strong vendor management experience in complex multi-party delivery environments
- Prior experience in hedge funds, private equity, asset management, or third-party administrators
- Comfortable operating in high-pressure cutover environments with production accountability
Desirable Experience
- Exposure to private markets, alternatives, or hybrid public/private portfolios
- Experience working in global operating models (multi-currency, multi-custodian setups)
- Familiarity with regulatory reporting and audit controls in investment operations
- Previous role in transformation programmes, not just steady-state operations
What Success Looks Like
- Clean, controlled cutover into the new PMS environment
- Stable NAV / valuation production within agreed tolerance from day one
- Fully functioning front-to-back operational workflows
- Clear reduction in manual reconciliations and operational risk
- Embedded operating model with trained BAU teams
