About the role

  • This is a senior leadership role - not an individual contributor position.
  • You will be the senior point of accountability for implementation quality across Bankjoy's entire client portfolio.
  • The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who has already led an implementation or professional services team at a fintech or digital banking company.

Responsibilities

  • Build and develop a high-performance implementation team - setting a high bar for delivery quality, accountability, and professional growth across Implementation Managers and Specialists
  • Lead through presence and example - you understand every process your team runs, from project kickoff to go-live, and can step in to coach or cover when needed
  • Conduct structured 1:1s, performance reviews, and coaching conversations that develop your team's capability and career growth over time
  • Build a team culture of urgency, ownership, and continuous improvement
  • Proactively identify blockers - whether client-side, cross-functional, or internal - and drive resolution before they impact timelines
  • Define, document, and continuously improve Bankjoy's implementation methodology, playbooks, and project templates - grounded in firsthand knowledge of what works in the field
  • Drive early-stage scope definition and gap analysis discipline to prevent late-stage surprises and go-live delays

Requirements

  • 8+ years of implementation, onboarding, or professional services experience - specifically within fintech, digital banking, or core banking environments
  • 5+ years of people management experience leading a team of implementation managers or project managers - this is a required qualification, not a nice-to-have
  • Proven ability to identify and remove blockers - cross-functional, technical, and client-side - with speed and ownership
  • Demonstrated track record of improving implementation delivery metrics (time-to-live, go-live rate, client satisfaction) at scale

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with credit union core banking systems (Corelation, Jack Henry, Fiserv or similar)
  • Experience with digital banking conversions or multi-product implementations
  • Experience working with credit unions or community banks
  • Experience managing multi-vendor implementation projects
  • PMP, PMI, or equivalent project management certification
  • A fast-paced and collaborative environment
  • Competitive compensation
  • End of year shutdown

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation
