WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT FOR US

The Head of Operations & Accounting is a senior executive leadership role responsible for defining and driving the strategic direction of SimCorp's post-trade and accounting product portfolio - the operational backbone that institutional investors depend on for mission-critical processing, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting.

This role shapes the strategic vision, market positioning, and execution excellence across post-trade processing, reconciliation, corporate actions, settlement, fund accounting, investment accounting, and our managed services offerings - ensuring SimCorp remains the institutional-grade standard for operational excellence.

As a member of the Product executive leadership team, you partner with Engineering, Sales, Client Success, and Service Delivery to translate operational realities into scalable solutions that drive client retention, expand wallet share, and open new revenue streams through managed services.
