Why this role is important to us
As a Product Owner in SimCorp’s Product Division, you will work on one of our most critical front‑office capabilities — Portfolio Management. Portfolio managers at asset management firms operate under increasing pressure: volatile markets, complex portfolios, tightening risk constraints, and the need to make better decisions faster. Static reports and disconnected tools are no longer enough. Portfolio managers need software that helps them understand portfolio positioning, risk usage, and exposure in real time, translate intent into action, and support consistent decision‑making directly at the point of trade.
We are building this on the SimCorp ONE platform and our modern Portfolio Management solution helps portfolio managers monitor portfolios, analyze exposures and risk, evaluate alternatives, and act within coherent, workflow‑driven software designed for true front‑office use. Portfolio Management is a core strategic capability for SimCorp and our clients.
