Highspring is seeking a Manager in our Financial Services Business Solution Engineering team to lead cross-functional client engagements, define objectives, and drive executable solutions for complex transformations.

You will own problems from definition through design and implementation, guiding teams across lending, payments, and finance platforms while leveraging Azure, Snowflake, and Databricks. Travel and onsite client work are expected.

Qualifications

BA/BS in Business, Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Technology, Operations, or related discipline.
5+ years of experience in financial services consulting, business transformation, business architecture, finance, risk, operations, data, technology, or related environment.
Experience across lending, deposits, payments, treasury, finance, risk and controls, regulatory change, data, technology, M&A integration, or operating-model transformation.
Demonstrated experience leading complex workstreams, transformation initiatives, or business solution-design efforts.
Ability to take an ambiguous client problem, structure the approach, lead a team through analysis, and develop an executable solution.

Responsibilities

Lead the design of practical business solutions across people, process, data, technology, governance, and controls.
Own complex client problems from initial definition through solution design and implementation.
Lead the design and modernization of financial services platforms across lending origination, underwriting, servicing, payments, deposits, models, and treasury.
Design finance architectures spanning operational platforms, subledgers, general ledgers, consolidation, and financial and regulatory reporting.
Lead assessments and solutions for how enterprise data platforms support business processes, reporting, analytics, risk management, AI, and decision-making.
Apply an understanding of modern cloud and data platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, and comparable technologies to broader business solutions.
Identify opportunities to redesign processes using AI, enterprise agents, workflow automation, and low-code technologies such as Microsoft Power Automate.
Help clients establish OKRs, KPIs, and performance-management frameworks connecting strategic objectives to measurable business outcomes.
Lead or support risk transformation across areas such as operational risk, enterprise risk, controls, regulatory change, resilience, and first- and second-line operating models.
Lead workstreams within complex transformation programs, including M&A integration, finance transformation, regulatory change, enterprise data, AI, and technology modernization.
Evaluate solution alternatives and guide clients through decisions and tradeoffs involving business value, customer experience, complexity, risk, technology, regulatory considerations, and execution.
Serve as a day-to-day advisor to client leaders, bringing perspectives and recommendations rather than simply facilitating activities or reporting status.
Lead solution-design workshops, executive working sessions, stakeholder interviews, requirements sessions, and decision forums.
Bridge business and technology teams so that business objectives translate into clear requirements and technology solutions deliver intended business outcomes.
Anticipate cross-functional risks, dependencies, and execution challenges and proactively drive them toward resolution.
Review and challenge analyses and deliverables to ensure solutions are practical, well-supported, and communicate a clear point of view.
