  • build a scalable structure supporting both 'keep the lights on' operations and new product and platform innovation
  • act as the bridge between business, product, and technology teams
  • ensure all initiatives align with both immediate business needs and long-term architecture goals
  • define and track ROI and IRR metrics for platform investments
  • partner with Information Security to enforce best practices across platforms
  • ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, BSA/AML standards, PCI and Non-Public Information (NPI) protections
  • own resilience strategy including business continuity and disaster recovery
  • lead a team of ~40 (4–6 direct reports)
  • redesign organizational structure for scale and efficiency
  • coach and develop talent to align with evolving technical and business needs
  • play a key role in leadership succession planning

Requirements

  • 15+ years in banking, financial services, or fintech
  • 10+ years of relevant experience across technology, operations, or platform leadership
  • 5+ years of leadership experience managing teams
  • deep expertise across core banking platforms and multiple lines of business
  • strong understanding of Event-Driven Architecture (EDA)
  • CQRS patterns
  • distributed systems and modern integration patterns
  • experience modernizing legacy monolithic systems into modular architectures
  • knowledge of Customer 360 / Operational Data Stores
  • transaction processing systems
  • payment hubs (e.g., Fiserv EPP)
  • experience building observability practices (telemetry, tracing, monitoring)
  • proven ability to address scalability constraints in legacy environments
  • balance modernization with ongoing delivery
  • align infrastructure investments to business outcomes
  • experience navigating complex environments with multiple stakeholders
  • track record of improving speed to market (target: 50% reduction in lead time)
  • system reliability (target: 99.99% uptime)
  • strong cross-functional collaboration skills
  • ability to influence without direct authority in complex organizations

Nice to have

  • Experience across multiple institutions or environments
  • background with core providers (Fiserv, FIS, Thought Machine, etc.)
  • exposure to M&A or platform consolidation initiatives
  • certifications such as Lean Six Sigma, PMP, or banking/finance credentials

What we offer

  • Comprehensive health, financial, and wellness benefits
  • 401(k) with immediate vesting
  • annual bonus target 25% of base salary with potential payout up to 150% of target
  • profit sharing
