The Treasury and Payments Solutions (TPS) Client Advocacy and Events Manager leads client advisory engagement, Voice of Customer (VOC) insight, and TPS industry event strategy. This role ensures client feedback and external market engagement inform strategic decisions, product evolution, client experience priorities, and industry presence. The role partners with TPS leadership, Product Management and Strategy, Sales, Marketing, and Payments partners to translate client sentiment, market themes, and event opportunities into actionable direction for senior and executive leadership.

The role owns strategic Client Advisory Groups, aligns VOC findings to business priorities, and guides event participation decisions across TPS product and sales partners. This includes recommending investment levels based on budget, participation goals, audience relevance, strategic fit, and appropriate bank attendees.

• Serve as a trusted client advocacy voice in strategic discussions and decision forums.

Industry Event Strategy & Participation Planning

Insight Synthesis, Analytics & Storytelling

• Synthesize input into themes, trends, risks, market signals, and opportunities.
• Produce dashboards, executive summaries, and narrative insights that translate client sentiment into leadership-ready materials.

• Track key themes, action status, and outcomes without owning execution.
• Communicate progress internally and externally to reinforce that feedback leads to action.
• Capture post-event insights and follow-up commitments as visible next steps.
