• Build strong cross-functional and leadership relationships to expand opportunities and grow platform usage across business lines.
• Maintain clear documentation, program updates, dashboards, and executive-level communications.

Required Qualifications

• Mandatory experience in banking, with preference for cards, consumer lending, or customer onboarding/acquisition.
• Proven track record of managing client-facing delivery, including running governance cadences and executive-level communications.

• Ability to influence and collaborate across engineering, product, data, compliance, and business teams.
• Strong analytical skills with experience converting KPIs and platform metrics into insights and action.

Preferred Skills
