The Director, Project Management & Client Coverage is the client-facing owner of implementation and ongoing delivery for our banking and fintech clients. You'll run point on complex, large-scale digital banking, card & payments platform rollouts, owning scope, timeline, risk, and cross-functional coordination. Once a client is live, you'll own the ongoing relationship: running the operating cadence, tracking portfolio health, and translating client needs into structured input for the roadmap. You are a senior level, high-energy, individual contributor.

This role is ideal for client-facing leaders who combine analytical rigor with relationship strength and want direct impact on client outcomes and portfolio growth.

Who You Are

• A trusted client-facing leader with 5-7+ years' experience across consulting & project management with a strong enterprise relationship management background.

• Skilled at engaging with senior stakeholders and managing complex, large-scale implementations.

What You’ll Do

For new client implementations:

• Own day-to-day execution of complex, large-scale digital banking, card & payments platform implementations.

• Managing scope, timeline, risk, and cross-functional coordination to deliver on time and produce a client experience strong enough to become a reference.

• Build and personally run the minimum-viable process a required for multi-workstream implementation: status cadence, RAID log, decision log. A bias toward pragmatic, minimum-viable process over heavyweight frameworks is essential.

• Own all client-facing status communication, from weekly detail to executive summary, translating engineering and product progress into business terms.

• Keep ownership of every open item unambiguous, internally and with the client.

With our existing clients:

• Own coverage for several existing clients: build and grow relationships across a portfolio of banks and fintechs.

• Run the operating cadence for each account: QBRs, roadmap check-ins, prioritization sessions. You pull in product and engineering leads to weigh in on feasibility and sequencing, while you own the agenda, follow-through, and client narrative.

• Track portfolio health (KPIs, adoption, satisfaction, support/escalation trends) and turn it into a clear read-out for internal teams and clients. You will flag risk early and package client feedback into structured input for product prioritization.

• Maintain a single source of truth per account: health status, open commitments, roadmap asks, key contacts

• Lead post-incident or post-issue reviews with clients, translating technical root cause into a business-appropriate explanation and forward-looking action plan.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven ability to build and deepen client trust & relationships in a complex, multi-stakeholder environment.

• Strong track record of building operating rhythms with clear accountability in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, not just running pre-existing processes.

• Exceptionally strong written & verbal communication skills, ability to communicate in a structured, succinct, executive ready way.

• Comfortable working through day-to-day delivery blockers and communicating status and risk to executive and board-level audiences.

• Strong analytical and critical thinking, with a data-driven decision-making approach.

• Comfort working closely with Product and Engineering teams, with data, reporting, and portfolio analytics.

• Highly self-motivated, adaptable, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, execution-focused environment.

• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong ownership, accountability, and a drive to deliver results.

Bonus if You Have

• Experience managing credit card or lending portfolios at a bank, issuer, or fintech.

• Consulting background with financial services clients.

• Experience working with AI/LLMs and collaborating closely with technical teams.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and equity.

• Remote-first workplace (Eastern Time).

• Comprehensive health plan and PTO.

• A team that treats AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.

• Real ownership - you'll shape the processes and standards that drive how we deliver customer value.
