For over 50 years, our client has worked closely with investment and asset managers to become the world’s leading provider of integrated investment management solutions. They make up a team of 2,500+ colleagues with a broad range of nationalities, educations, professional experiences, ages, and backgrounds in general. They are committed to building a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated in their everyday work.

While striving to deliver client value, they believe it is vital to consider their people and their planet in every business decision they make. Acting responsibly is not optional – it is essential.
Our client assists some of the biggest financial institutions in the world to be fruitful by simplifying their investments, accounting, and operations.
Their flagship product, called Dimension, is a fully integrated front-to-back investment management solution, used by more than 200 end clients located all over the world. It includes front office, middle office, back office data, and reporting solutions.
Our client continuously enhances the portfolio of offerings to remain at the forefront of industry technology and trends. On top of this, over the last few years, they have been honing their service delivery and support model to implement their solutions to its end clients and take ownership of running installations in the best possible way.
This is why their Advanced Delivery Center (ADC) has been forged. First established in 2016 in Warsaw, Poland and extended to Manila, Philippines in 2021 and now kicking off a new location in Mexico. Business Consultants in the ADC work, in close collaboration with their market units, on business functionality and solution workflows to tailor and deploy configuration of the Dimension product to their end customers.
About the role:
