About the role A leading insurance client is looking for a hands-on contractor to strengthen and modernise its investment data and reporting. The work centres on Clearwater Analytics: making sure investment data flows cleanly from source to subledger to general ledger to final report. You'll find where the data breaks and fix the cause, and build repeatable, automated controls in place of manual effort. Please note: hands-on Clearwater Analytics experience is essential for this role. We can only consider applicants who have worked directly in Clearwater. What you'll do Own investment data quality in Clearwater, covering data validation, attribute and entity mappings, and the business rules that feed downstream finance reporting. Design and run reconciliations from general ledger to investment subledger to report, and between other systems (for example IBOR, ABOR and SBOR). Investigate variances, find the root causes and resolve breaks before they reach the close. Find and deliver process improvements and transformation work across the reporting cycle, including better data flows, fewer exceptions and less manual effort. Build and improve reporting and data models in Power BI and SSAS, and explore AI and agent-based tools that make review and exception handling more efficient. Research and resolve data and operational exceptions, including daily transaction processing issues, and fix the cause so the same break doesn't come back. Work with Finance, Investments, Operations, ALM, Risk, Technology and external service providers on recurring deliverables and change initiatives. Essential requirements Clearwater Analytics (mandatory): 3-5 years of hands-on experience working directly in Clearwater, ideally covering data validation, reconciliations and reporting for an insurance investment portfolio.
