SimCorp Dimension Lead SaaS Migration

Position Type:
Contract / Permanent

Location:

Onsite at Atlanta /Herndon

Position Overview: We are seeking an experienced Sim Corp Dimension Specialist to lead and execute User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for our migration from an on-premises/ self-hosted environment to the Sim Corp SaaS Cloud platform. The ideal candidate will possess deep domain knowledge of Sim Corp Dimension workflows, multi-fund accounting structures, and front-to-back asset management operations. You will design, build, and execute comprehensive UAT test cases to ensure seamless data integrity, parallel run validation, and business continuity before go-live.

• Test Strategy & Planning:
  Define the UAT test scope, acceptance criteria, and execution timelines specifically for the Sim Corp SaaS migration.
• Test Case Development:
  Design comprehensive UAT test scenarios covering multi-fund setups, investment operations, accounting, and third-party integrations.
• Data & Position Reconciliation:
  Lead the validation of the Security Master, live/historical positions, cash balances, and historical NAV calculations between legacy and SaaS environments.
• End-to-End Workflow Testing:
  Execute test cases for trade execution, settlement, corporate actions, compliance rules, and automated batch processing.
• Defect & Triaging Management:
  Identify, log, and prioritize software configurations, environment issues, or data discrepancies, coordinating directly with Sim Corp support and internal IT.
• Business Liaison:
  Act as the core bridge between the technical migration team, external Sim Corp engineers, and internal business users (portfolio managers, operations, and accounting teams).

• Sim Corp Dimension Expertise:
  Minimum 3–5+ years of hands‑on configuration or testing experience with Sim Corp Dimension (specifically modules like Portfolio Calculation, Asset Manager, Investment Accounting, or Batch/DFS).
• Migration
  
  Experience:
  
  Proven track record participating in a Sim Corp upgrade, data migration, or transition to a Cloud/SaaS delivery model.
• Domain Knowledge:
  Deep understanding of buy‑side investment operations, asset management, multi‑fund accounting structures, and financial instruments (Fixed Income, Equities, Derivatives, or Private Markets).
• Reconciliation Expertise:
  Advanced skills in data validation, ledger matching, and auditing complex financial datasets.
• Testing Tooling:
  Familiarity with test management tools (e.g., Jira, Azure Dev Ops, ALM) and automated regression testing tools used alongside Sim Corp.

This role is a hybrid, but it leans heavily toward a Business Analyst (BA) / Operations kind of resource. In the world of Sim Corp Dimension, this is commonly referred to as a Functional or Business Consultant, rather than a technical IT developer.

• They test business outcomes:
  An IT tester checks if code crashes; a Sim Corp BA checks if the NAV (Net Asset Value) calculation is correct down to the penny after migration.
• They understand the market:
  The resource needs to understand financial instruments, trade life cycles, and corporate actions.
• They speak the users' language:
  They bridge the gap between your portfolio managers/accountants and the underlying system configurations.

While they aren't writing software code, they still need strong technical data skills, including:

• Advanced Excel & SQL:
  To extract data from the legacy system and the new SaaS system to run complex match-and-reconciliation macros.
• System Configuration:
  Understanding how Sim Corp’s internal logic, batch jobs, and Communication Channels (DFS) move data around.
