Let's Go Beyond the Hype_
GFT Financial Ltd is a fintech consultancy specialising in technology systems integration across banking and financial services. We work at the centre of some of the industry's most complex modernisation programmes — partnering with tier 1 banks, asset managers, and asset servicers to turn legacy platforms into modern, data-driven operations. This role sits inside one such programme, for a tier 1 investment bank navigating the transition from SimCorp Dimension to SimCorp's modern, cloud-native SimCorp One model.
We're not looking for someone to just implement a spec — and we're not looking for a delivery or programme lead either. We're looking for someone with genuine platform and product depth, whether their background reads “Architect” or “Business Analyst,” who can turn a complex product evolution into a credible target-state plan that others can build against.
Role Summary
Seeking a Lead SimCorp Techno-Functional Solution Architect to define the target-state architecture for the transition from SimCorp Dimension toward SimCorp's modern, cloud-native operating model (SimCorp One or equivalent SaaS architecture), within an Asset Management environment at a tier 1 investment bank.
This is a hybrid role by design: architectural depth combined with strong business-analysis instincts. The person needs to move fluently between the technical target-state (data models, integration architecture, platform capability) and the functional/operational reality (how IBOR, accounting, compliance and trading workflows actually run today, and what breaks or changes as the platform evolves). The emphasis throughout is platform and product knowledge, not hands-on configuration or coding.
