Banking Integration Project Lead

Context

We’re looking for a dynamic Project Lead to drive the integration of a new banking partnership from strategy to full operational rollout. You’ll coordinate cross-functional teams, run the RFP and contracting process, lead the technical and operational setup, and ensure seamless delivery of new financial services and payment capabilities.

You will lead the end-to-end delivery of a new banking partnership: defining the project scope and strategy, running the RFP process, coordinating Legal, Compliance, IT and Operations, managing the relationship with the banking partner, and overseeing the full operational and technical rollout (payments, cash-management, integrations, APIs, system developments, testing) while ensuring compliance, risk alignment, and successful handover to business teams.

What You Bring

• Exposure to treasury or cash-management environments is a plus.

Project Leadership

• Proven experience running complex, multi-team projects end-to-end.

• Strong skills in planning, steering, tracking, and delivering on commitments.
