Portfolio Management System - Product Specialist

Join to apply for the Portfolio Management System - Product Specialist role at Clearwater Analytics (CWAN).

This team combines expertise across the PMS core functions, ranging across client front, middle, and back office. It has deep knowledge of Enfusion PMS tools and workflows that generate trades and orders, and integrates that with P&L, NMV calculations and a fundamental understanding of basic accounting principles. New joiners can pick their areas of strength and develop them further, while seasoned members can solve complex PMS issues that overlap across functional areas.

Those interested in front‑office trading workflows spend time advising traders and PMs, rebalancing portfolios to defined targets, remodeling portfolio weightings toward benchmarks, and supporting other niche ad‑hoc trading workflows. Those more inclined towards P&L and accounting focus on P&L, NMV, and exposure calculations, position accruals and payments management, total return swap and short borrow agreement configurations, tax lot analysis, and complex general ledger accounting queries.

The overarching skill is an innate ability to confidently navigate across the natively linked PMS / Accounting System and recognize patterns and relationships that allow solution of client requests. The team also overlaps with the Val & Risk team, particularly decomposing P&L on bonds, credit instruments, and other OTC products.

• Assist clients in creating intelligent and flexible order creation workflows that fit client specific requirements.
• Develop a strong understanding of PMS Trade Creation Tools, such as Position Transfers, Corporate Action Processing, Option Processing, Futures Rolls, etc., and assist clients in booking these internal trades ensuring correct P&L updates.
• Take ownership of Trade Allocation and Trade Commission set‑ups.
• Decompose P&L for listed products, breaking down unrealized and realized components to justify system calculations or identify and address root issues for a P&L query.
• Calculate NMV, exposure, and monetized Greeks.
• Develop a holistic understanding of the PMS GL relationship to take on high‑complexity GL queries regarding financial statement investigations and PMS/GL breaks.

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field. Additional experience in mathematics or other high‑level quantitative experience is a bonus.
• 3+ years of experience in client support for Portfolio Management Systems for asset managers, or experience in middle office/operations at either an asset manager, bank, or administrator.
• Superior analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to handle and prioritize multiple tasks and work independently.
• Confident and calm demeanor.
• Experience in financial services is a strong bonus.
• Previous client‑facing experience and experience handling client escalations is a strong bonus.
