Business Analyst - OEMS

Clearwater is hiring an OEMS Business Analyst to help shape the future of our order execution (OEMS) platform. You will be a go-to authority on trading concepts, including the FIX protocol, electronic execution, broker and venue connectivity, trader workflows, and transaction cost analysis — translating that expertise into well-designed, thoroughly tested product features. Working closely with engineers, product teams, and clients, you will make a meaningful impact both internally and in the market.

What You Will Do: Product & domain expertise Research complex trading workflows, FIX protocol behavior, and broker/venue integration requirements to propose and implement effective product solutions. Partner with engineering and product teams on feature design, ensuring domain considerations are built in from the start. Review requirements, design documents, and scope materials, providing substantive feedback across the development lifecycle. Quality & validation Develop, maintain, and execute test plans — defining edge cases, analyzing data inputs, and validating feature behavior.

Log defects, retest, and verify fixes through resolution. External voice & thought leadership Contribute to client conversations as a domain authority. Produce white papers and internal communications on methodology. Collaborate with software engineers to implement new broker and venue staging connections, FIX protocol enhancements, and execution workflow changes. Strategy & mentorship Monitor shifts in your domain, anticipate downstream impacts of product changes, and identify opportunities for product expansion.

Mentor junior team members and help build the team's collective depth of knowledge. Required Qualifications: Degree in finance, economics, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience on a buy-side or sell-side trading desk. Strong foundation in trading and execution concepts with demonstrated experience working with the FIX protocol, broker and venue connectivity, and buy-side trader workflows. Proven ability to work independently on complex, ambiguous problems. Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable leading client-facing conversations.

Collaborative working style across cross-functional teams. Systems-level thinking — you understand how decisions in one area ripple across a platform, and you take ownership of getting ahead of those risks. Nice to have: Experience writing white papers, methodology documentation, or other thought leadership content. Familiarity with OMS/EMS platforms, FIX engines, or buy/sell-side trading desk operations. Experience mentoring colleagues or leading cross-functional initiatives.
