SME - Regulatory Reporting

Job description

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. This is an exciting opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance and technology.
