Job description

You bring at least five years of experience supporting transaction coordination initiatives, project planning, and deliverable execution. Combined with your proven ability to lead multifaceted initiatives in dynamic environments, quickly master new systems, and embrace new responsibilities, you'll thrive as a member of this team.

As a Vice Presidentwithin the Wholesale Loan Services (WLS) team at JPMorganChase, you will be responsible for driving strategy, execution, and adoption of operational initiatives in the Transaction Coordination space – primarily focused on North America.

• Partner with regional stakeholders (EMEA/APAC counterparts, process owners, and control partners) to align on a “common core” and manage local/regulatory exceptions transparently.
• Create governance mechanisms to sustain standardization (e.g., playbooks, process ownership, change intake, update cadence, and adoption measures).
• Build a capability framework for Transaction Coordination roles (skills/behaviors/knowledge by role and job grade).
• Design and implement learning journeys (onboarding→ proficiency→ advanced) including training paths, practice/on-the-job components, and simple assessment/checkpoint approaches.
• Define role progression expectations across job grades: what “ready for next level” looks like (experiences, mastery indicators, scope, and leadership behaviors), in partnership with NA leaders and HR/Talent where applicable.
• Improve coaching and feedback routines through playbooks and manager enablement tools (even without direct reports).
