Job Description

We are looking for a Solutions Consultant to join our growing EMEA Asset Owner team in London - corporate pension schemes, local government pension funds (LGPS), sovereign wealth funds, and insurers, front to back office. In this client-facing, pre-sales role you will be central to how Clearwater wins and onboards complex asset management mandates — owning the technical and written deliverables that move opportunities through the sales cycle. 

You will partner with prospective clients to uncover the pain points in their current operating model and demonstrate, clearly and credibly, how the Clearwater solution solves those problems and adds measurable value. Alongside this you will build and refine the sales resources, documentation and standards the wider EMEA team relies on, continually looking for ways to strengthen our proposition. 
 

The ideal candidate is a creative, self-starting problem-solver who earns the trust of internal and external stakeholders alike, combining strong technical fluency with the commercial instinct to turn complex requirements into compelling solutions.
