WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US

At SimCorp, we facilitate the streamlining of investments, accounting, and operations for major global financial institutions. We do this through IT systems, processes, and financial knowledge.

• Instruct, support, and mentor less experienced colleagues on project tasks, solution design, configuration, and implementation best practices.
• Contribute to improving implementation methods, data integration standards, reusable delivery assets, and best practices across projects.
• Actively participate in knowledge sharing with colleagues across regions and contribute to the continued development of SimCorp’s global consulting capability.
