Why This Role Matters
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:
ICS Implementation & Cycle Ownership
Own and drive the ICS implementation roadmap across all in-scope key risk areas
Operate the annual ICS cycle end-to-end: planning, delivery coordination, effectiveness confirmation, and sign-off
Lead ICS effectiveness monitoring, including spot testing and qualitative review
Stakeholder Enablement & Business Partnering
Act as the senior ICS business partner to Risk Partners and business functions across the organization
Design and deliver upskilling and enablement initiatives to build control ownership in the first line
Communicate with senior stakeholders across departments and leadership levels in a credible way and lead the effort
Sell the value of an effective internal control environment and actively shift the perception of the controls function from oversight to enablement
AI & Digital Enablement
Lead the delivery of AI use cases in the ICS domain — automated control documentation, execution monitoring, and AI-assisted testing
Define and govern how AI and digital tooling enters internal controls work across the organization
Drive continuous improvement in assurance methodology and digital ways of working
Promote a culture of AI adoption and innovation within the team and beyond
Quality & Reporting
Ensure ICS deliverables meet governance body requirements and internal quality standards
Support senior and executive reporting on internal controls effectiveness
Contribute to material preparation for leadership and supervisory reporting where required
What We Value
University degree in Business Administration, Economics, Finance, or equivalent professional qualification
Senior GRC, internal controls, or internal audit professional — Big Four or in-house
Demonstrated senior-level experience implementing internal control systems or risk and control frameworks
Experience operating in a complex, international, multi-stakeholder environment
Knowledge of relevant frameworks and standards (COSO, COBIT or equivalent)
Skills & Capabilities
Senior stakeholder presence - able to engage, lead, and raise questions at the leadership level across cultures and functions
AI-capable: demonstrated ability to apply AI and digital tools in a controls or assurance context, with a genuine drive to innovate
Solid enablement and change management mindset motivated by maturity…
