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 2,800+ colleagues with a broad range of nationalities, educations, professional experiences, ages, and backgrounds.

SimCorp is an independent subsidiary of the Deutsche Börse Group. Following the recent merger with Axioma, we leverage the combined strength of our brands to provide an industry-leading, full, front-to-back offering for our clients.

SimCorp is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated into 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 optional; it is essential.

Why this role is important to us

SimCorp EMEA is building out our Project Management Service Line, with a focus on improving commercial and delivery management of SimCorp’s offerings.

• Managing handovers from Presales to Onboarding and from Onboarding to Run
• Facilitating business requirements gathering workshops
• Contributing to improvement and documentation of best practices for implementation projects globally in collaboration with Global PMO
• Creating and maintaining required project artifacts such as project plan, reports, and RAID change requests
• Effectively monitoring customer feedback and reporting
• Actively identifying and mitigating risk
• Motivating the project team and ensuring continuous improvement within the team
