Who we are
For over 50 years, we have worked closely with investment and asset managers to become the world’s leading provider of integrated investment management solutions. We are 2,300+ colleagues with a broad range of nationalities, education, professional experience, ages, and backgrounds in general.
SimCorp is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated in our everyday work. We believe in the continual growth and development of our employees, so that we can provide best-in-class solutions to our clients. While striving to deliver client value, we believe it is vital to consider our people and our planet in every business decision we make. Acting responsibly is not just optional, it is essential.
Why this role is important to us
In SimCorp, we assist some of the biggest financial institutions in the world to be efficient by simplifying their investments, accounting, and operations. We do this through IT systems, processes, and financial knowledge. Implementing our software solutions by way of high-quality projects is at the core of what we do. To introduce our software to our clients and help enable them to reach their desired outcomes, business consultants are essential to us.
As a Senior Business Consultant, you will be part of our team in EMEA Professional Services. The main purpose of the role is to contribute to the successful implementation of our software platform SimCorp Dimension®. You will own tasks throughout the implementation phases and be a trusted advisor to the client. You will mainly work remotely for projects in Switzerland or other EMEA locations. In addition, you will work with at least two process domains in the Investment and Front Office Service Line, including portfolio management, trading and order management, compliance, regulatory and internal restrictions, performance measurement and attribution, risk management (market and liquidity), regulatory topics such as Solvency II (incl. ORSA), as well as instrument valuation and analytics (theoretical pricing).
During the three-week SimCorp Dimension® Academy, ‘hands-on’ experience with our software system will be a part of your onboarding. You are or will become a specialist within several areas in SimCorp Dimension.
What you will be responsible for
- Contributing to all aspects of SimCorp Dimension implementation projects
- Leading workstreams covering all required tasks, dependencies, and time/resource estimation
- Mapping to SimCorp Dimension functions and processes, as well as designing and configuring a customised solution
- Assisting the client in developing an overall test strategy, test plans, and in carrying out test cases
- Facilitating workshops to gather requirements for new and existing clients
- Mentoring, coaching, and helping colleagues to secure the project deliveries
What we value
Most importantly, you can see yourself contributing and thriving in the position described above. How you gained the skills needed for doing that is less important. We expect you to excel at several of the following skills and be able to - and interested in - learning the rest.
- Effective consulting skills
- Experience with working in projects, e.g., software implementation projects
- Knowledge of financial instruments or the asset management business and processes
- Know-how in at least two of the following areas: portfolio management (equity and fixed income), trading and order management, compliance, regulatory and internal restrictions, performance measurement and attribution, risk management (market and liquidity), regulatory topics such as Solvency II (incl. ORSA), instrument valuation and analytics (theoretical pricing)
- Enthusiasm to learn and use new software
- Desire to act as a mentor and coach to less experienced colleagues
- Good German skills and good English, as English is our corporate language
