The TMX GTS Office governs the project management practice within an environment that executes multiple projects across a diverse set of portfolios (SDLC, Infrastructure and integration of 3rd party products). We achieve excellence and quality in delivery to our customers by standardizing our project management services and consolidating project oversight for project performance metrics. The GTS Office endeavors to improve project performance via establishing standards of practice and lowering project costs by minimizing project overhead, reducing process redundancies and by leveraging our specialized project management skills and expertise. The GTS Office educates our PMs on TMX PM practices and ensures that they fully understand and execute upon the expectations of the role.

The Program/Project Manager (PM) is responsible for planning, delivery and execution of projects for the entire delivery life cycle, applying established TMX standards and best practices. The PM plays a leadership role to ensure projects are successfully delivered on time, on budget, with good quality while making certain clients are put first and the goals of the program are met.
