Why is the role important to us:

The Senior Principal Service Engagement Manager at SimCorp is responsible for managing and overseeing complex client engagements, ensuring the delivery of high-quality services that align with client expectations and business objectives. With typically 10+ years of experience in service management or client-facing roles, this position involves leading cross-functional teams to drive successful service delivery, customer satisfaction, and long-term value. The Senior Principal Service Engagement Manager works closely with clients, internal teams, and senior stakeholders to address strategic needs, optimize service offerings, and foster lasting relationships.

The Professional Services (PS) team is structured around 4 pillars: Business Consulting (BC); Project Management (PM); Service Delivery Management (SDM); and Service Engagement Management (SEM). From the early sales phase to final Go lives, this "One team" works closely together and in sync with all relevant stakeholders in APAC and Client Services to secure best project experience and value for our clients. The combination of global scale standards and best practice with strong Market Unit execution is our DNA.

As SimCorp continues to expand its service catalogue and market reach, PS Senior Managers are increasingly exposed to more complex opportunities, more frequently, and with a constant demand for faster project estimates. This requires the implementation of high-quality bid management processes, appropriate tools and systematic execution across all opportunities. The mission of the role is to ensure that the region can efficiently and effectively handle multiple complex opportunities simultaneously, with proper risk control measures in place, ultimately leading to increased success in winning deals.

As a Senior Principal Service Engagement Manager, you will be reporting to the Senior Director, Consulting Services (APAC). You will be assigned the responsibility to either take the full ownership of a PS opportunity or to provide support to the owner through execution of best practices.

Working directly with Sales, Value Advisory, CSM, and all relevant Client Services stakeholders, you will be supporting large and complex deals across APAC, orchestrating inputs related to scope, staffing, project risk and commercial. You will be responsible for consolidating these inputs and ultimately presenting Services offers that meet both our customer's request as well as our own.

Your primary objectives will be to prepare high quality offers that capture target outcomes, baseline scope, commercials and staffing requirements, while providing a transparent view of project risk. You will do so in a way that supports an accelerated sales cycle and provides best client experience.

For this role we are looking for experienced and ambitious individuals who will bring extensive client-facing experience, stakeholder management as well as both project sales and delivery experience to support our large and complex opportunities.
