About the Opportunity

Clearwater is experiencing exceptional growth across the DACH region, with a rapidly expanding client base. As we deepen our footprint in one of Europe’s most sophisticated investment markets, we continue to build out a dedicated local team - and this role sits right at the heart of that expansion. We're looking for Lead Implementation Associates to join our EMEA team and help us deliver a world-class service to some of the region's most sophisticated investors.

This is an exciting opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance and technology. You'll work directly with clients (asset managers, insurers, pension funds and more) to configure and deploy Clearwater's leading SaaS platform, ensuring it's tailored precisely to their trading, accounting, compliance, performance and reporting needs.

Whether you're a few years into your finance career, or a seasoned professional with years of investment operations or back-office experience behind you, we'd love to hear from you.

We've recently opened a brand-new office in Frankfurt's Opernturm, home to a brilliant and rapidly growing local team, a clear signal of our long-term commitment to the DACH market, where a growing number of organisations are choosing our cloud-native, front-to-back platform for investment management.

What You'll Do

• Lead the end-to-end onboarding of new clients onto Clearwater's platform, acting as a trusted guide throughout their implementation journey.
• Conduct engaging training sessions that empower clients to get the most out of the Clearwater platform from day one.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal Clearwater teams to assess requirements and design tailored solutions across accounting, compliance monitoring, performance measurement, risk analysis and reporting.
• Liaise with internal production teams to support Data migration, Interfaces, Trading workflows, troubleshoot P&L and accounting issues.
• Be the go-to person for clients during implementation - troubleshooting issues, resolving queries and keeping stakeholders informed with clear, transparent communication.
• Act as a consultative partner, helping clients align their goals with project plans and ensuring delivery milestones are met.
• Proactively identify and escalate risks and issues, keeping project momentum strong.
• Champion Clearwater's value proposition - you'll know the platform inside out and communicate its benefits with confidence and credibility.
• Coach and mentor more junior team members

• A degree in a relevant field such as financial markets, accounting, economics or audit; a Master's is advantageous.
