Business Architect for UBS AG

About the Position

Business Architect for UBS AG

GFT Financial Ltd is a fintech consultancy specializing in technology systems integration across banking and financial services. We partner with tier 1 banks, asset managers, and asset servicers to modernize legacy platforms into data-driven operations. We are currently seeking a Lead SimCorp Techno-Functional Solution Architect to define the target-state architecture for the transition from SimCorp Dimension to SimCorp's modern, cloud-native SimCorp One model within an Asset Management environment at a tier 1 investment bank.

This is a hybrid role that combines architectural depth with strong business-analysis instincts. The ideal candidate will seamlessly move between the technical target-state (data models, integration architecture, platform capability) and the functional/operational reality (current workflows and data usage).

Responsibilities

• Define target-state architecture and a phased roadmap for the transition from SimCorp Dimension to a modern SimCorp SaaS/cloud-native model.
• Translate business and operational requirements into architectural and functional specifications.
• Assess the current SimCorp Dimension estate and advise on rationalization priorities.
• Design enterprise data models and integration architecture aligned with a modular, API-driven ecosystem.
• Map current-state operational and data workflows to the target SimCorp One model, identifying functional gaps and process impacts.
• Advise on data quality, governance, and operational readiness.
• Act as the bridge between business stakeholders and delivery teams.
• Provide architectural and product guidance to delivery teams.
• Collaborate with business, technology, and SimCorp/vendor stakeholders to validate decisions and de-risk the transition.
• Advise on how the surrounding Azure data platform and infrastructure should evolve alongside the SimCorp product change.

Requirements

• 8+ years in Solution Architecture, Techno-Functional Architecture, or senior Business Analysis within capital markets or asset management technology.
• Strong, current knowledge of the SimCorp Dimension Data Warehouse and platform.
• Working understanding of SimCorp One's architecture and capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to work both technically and functionally.
• Deep understanding of Asset Management and investment data.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Azure data services.
• Strong SQL and data modelling skills.
• Comfortable operating as an advisor and technical/functional authority.

Nice to Have

• SimCorp Certified Professional (Dimension and/or SimCorp One).
• Direct exposure to a live or completed Dimension-to-One (or equivalent SaaS) transition.
• Formal Business Analysis background or certification.
• Azure certifications.
• Experience with cloud-based data platforms and governance frameworks.

We Offer

• Work at the heart of a tier 1 investment bank's platform evolution.
• Direct access to senior stakeholders and real architectural influence.
• Join a consultancy built on deep financial services specialism.
• Be part of a global partner ecosystem.
• Work alongside consultants who have delivered landmark modernization and migration programmes.
