• Ensure solutions meet regulatory, operational, security, and business requirements.
• Communicate risks, decisions, milestones, and program status to senior technology and business leadership.

• Strong experience leading enterprise integration and platform modernization initiatives.
• Hands-on end-to-end API integration experience is mandatory.

• Experience leading M&A or acquisition integration programs.
• PMP, PgMP, Agile, Scrum, or SAFe certification is a plus.

Ideal Candidate

We're looking for a hands-on Technical Delivery Leader with deep banking and financial infrastructure experience-not a traditional Project Manager focused only on Jira, RAID logs, or status reporting.

The ideal candidate has delivered complex banking integration programs involving APIs, deposits, treasury platforms, payment ecosystems, cloud-native technologies, and enterprise financial systems while working closely with architects and engineering teams.
