WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US
SimCorp is on a journey to mature its Internal Controls System across all key risk areas, in line with group-level governance requirements. This role is the senior execution owner of that journey — leading implementation, embedding control ownership across business functions, and leading the shift toward AI-enabled assurance.
This is a change role as much as a controls role. You will work across a complex, international organization to make internal controls meaningful and owned - shifting the perception from compliance obligation to genuine business enablement. You thrive in environments that are still being shaped, and you bring the seniority and credibility to take others with you.
We are looking for someone who combines senior stakeholder credibility with a self-driving, action-oriented mindset - someone who can shape the agenda, manage their own workload, and genuinely enjoys delivering results.
WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
SimCorp's financial reporting controls environment is undergoing active strengthening and expansion. This role leads defined parts of the second-line monitoring, testing, and oversight cycle and acts as a senior day-to-day partner to Finance and Tax control owners across the organisation.
This is not a maintenance role. You will bring the professional judgment to assess whether financial reporting controls within your areas are fit for purpose, provide constructive challenge, and drive first-line owners to implement improvements where they are not. You will need the stakeholder skills to bring Finance and Tax along on that journey while maintaining clear accountability for control design, execution, evidence, and remediation in the first line. You understand that effective financial reporting controls are a foundation for trust, and you know how to make that case.
We are looking for someone who combines strong financial reporting controls expertise and senior stakeholder credibility with a well-organized, hands-on mindset — someone who can work with strong self-management, maintain momentum across competing priorities, hold the line on standards, and genuinely enjoys following through.
Key RESPONSIBILITIES
Controls Review & Implementation
Lead defined parts of the second-line financial reporting controls monitoring and testing cycle across SimCorp's global operations, working with control owners across financial and non-financial reporting domains while preserving clear first- and second-line accountabilities.
Assess the adequacy of financial reporting controls within the relevant reporting domains, escalating significant or environment-wide gaps to senior management.
Provide constructive challenge and methodological guidance where control gaps or documentation issues are identified, and lead first-line owners to implement required improvements and remediation, and monitor agreed actions through to timely completion.
Lead control design quality assurance and walkthroughs with Finance and Tax control owners.
Provide controls methodology and quality assurance support for external audit activities, while Finance and Tax control owners remain responsible for responding to evidence requests, explaining control execution, and participating in walkthroughs.
