Join some of the most innovative thinkers in FinTech as we lead the evolution of financial technology. If you are an innovative, curious, collaborative person who embraces challenges and wants to grow, learn and pursue outcomes with our prestigious financial clients, say Hello to SimCorp!

At its foundation, SimCorp is guided by our values — caring, customer success-driven, collaborative, curious, and courageous. Our people-centered organization focuses on skills development, relationship building, and client success. We take pride in cultivating an environment where all team members can grow, feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Visit our career pages to learn more about working at SimCorp.

Why This Role is Important:

We’re seeking a Director to lead and evolve the Service Delivery Management function for our SaaS clients across the APAC region. As a key member of the Client Operations Leadership Team, you will shape and execute the strategic direction of service delivery, ensuring operational excellence, client satisfaction, and alignment with SimCorp’s global goals.

Please note: This is not a traditional IT Service Delivery Management role. This role is not focused on operational ticket delivery, incident queues, or ITIL-based service management. It is a senior client relationship and governance role. The successful candidate will regularly engage with C-suite and senior client leaders, acting as a trusted advisor who ensures SimCorp delivers on its commitments and drives measurable value for clients. If your background is primarily in IT service desk management, platform operations, or technical support leadership, this role is likely not the right fit.

What You Will Be Responsible For

Strategic Leadership

• Define and execute the Service Delivery Management strategy to align with global business objectives.

• Articulate the team's goals and guide execution in ways that support engagement, streamline operations, and benefit clients.

• Collaborate with Senior Leadership to define and refine delivery models and contribute to broader Client Operations strategy.

• Design and optimize workflows, processes, and governance models to ensure seamless execution and achievement of goals.

Stakeholder and Relationship Management

• Act as the primary point of accountability for all service delivery matters across APAC, managing expectations and ensuring alignment with client needs.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with C-suite and senior client stakeholders, including CIOs, CFOs, and COOs at institutional financial services clients such as asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, and central banks.

• Represent SimCorp credibly in complex client conversations, including escalations, service reviews, and contract-related discussions.

• Work closely with Commercial teams to align on client success planning, participate in renewal conversations, and identify opportunities for business development.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key internal stakeholders including Product Development, Consulting, and Commercial teams to ensure effective service delivery.

Commercial and Contract Management

• Review and interpret client contracts, ensuring service commitments are understood and delivered against across the team.

• Participate in renewal conversations alongside Commercial teams, bringing operational and delivery credibility to the discussion.

• Oversee the financial performance of the service delivery function, ensuring alignment with budgetary targets and corporate objectives.

• Forecast and track client revenue, ensuring targets are consistently met. Identify opportunities for revenue growth through service adoption, usage, or new offerings.

• Manage costs effectively, ensuring that the Service Delivery function operates within budget while delivering value to clients and the business.

People Leadership Excellence

• Lead diverse, effective teams across multiple regions, cultivating a culture of collaboration, clear communication, and continuous improvement to drive high-quality service delivery outcomes.

• Champion the development of team members by providing ongoing learning opportunities, promoting skill-building, and enabling career progression through mentorship and personalized development plans.

• Leverage cutting-edge technologies, including automation and artificial intelligence, to expand the team's capabilities, streamline workflows, and enhance both individual and organizational performance.

Operational Excellence

• Translate strategic goals into measurable operational targets for Service Delivery Management teams.

• Oversee the end-to-end service delivery function in a post-implementation, managed services context, ensuring alignment with business objectives and client outcomes.

• Identify areas for process optimization and continuous improvement to enhance efficiency and performance.

• Develop and monitor KPIs and performance metrics to track service delivery and drive insights for continuous improvement.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement

• Implement innovative delivery practices and leverage technology to streamline operations, reduce manual processes, and improve time-to-value.

• Drive a culture of learning, versatility, and collaboration within the Service Delivery Management team to support high client satisfaction and operational effectiveness.

What We Value

• Experience: 10+ years managing C-suite client relationships and leading enterprise-level service delivery teams in a post-implementation, managed services, or SaaS operational context — not project or consulting delivery.

• Industry Background: Experience engaging with institutional financial services clients including asset managers, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, or central banks is strongly preferred.

• Leadership: Extensive experience leading high-performing teams across complex regions and cultures, with a focus on delivering innovative service models.

• Expertise: Deep understanding of service delivery processes including SLAs, KPIs, and contract management, with a focus on optimizing outcomes for clients. Experience reviewing and interpreting client contracts and managing service commitments against contractual obligations is essential.

• Communication and Client Engagement: Proven ability to operate as a senior client-facing leader with strong executive communication skills. Must be able to influence, challenge, and align C-suite stakeholders, manage complex conversations, and represent the service delivery function with credibility.

• Commercial Acumen: Extensive financial acumen with experience managing budgets, forecasting, tracking revenue, and participating in contract renewal conversations alongside commercial teams.

• Collaboration: Extensive experience collaborating across global, cross-functional teams, especially with Product Development, Global Support, and commercial groups.

• SaaS Knowledge: In-depth knowledge of the SaaS business model and how it applies to enterprise service delivery and client success.

• Personal Attributes: Resilient and commercially grounded - able to hold firm on commitments, navigate difficult client conversations with confidence, and push back constructively when needed without compromising the relationship.

Working arrangement:

• Flexible APAC working hours (with few hours of overlap with EMEA timings)

• Hybrid work arrangement - 2x/week
