What we are looking for:

Our banking client is seeking a senior-level Project Manager with deep banking/financial services experience to lead the Deposit Regional Pricing project—a strategic initiative to enable region- and channel-based deposit pricing across both Consumer and Business lines. This capability emerged as a critical dependency during the SAFE integration effort, specifically the need to price California members differently, and is now essential to competing for deposits at a marginal cost of funds and preparing for a future national pricing strategy.

The successful candidate will own this project end to end, from discovery and design through execution, and will be accountable for aligning a wide range of cross-functional stakeholders around a shared plan, timeline, and set of deliverables.

Project Success Measures

• Increased deposit growth
• Improved member retention
• New member acquisition
• Higher net interest margin
• Improved rate competitiveness
• Greater market share in expanded markets

Key Project Dependencies

• Origination and core systems capable of supporting regional and channel-based pricing
• Clear member/market segmentation
• Dynamic rate sheets and disclosures
• New deposit products
• Governance and compliance approvals
• Frontline training
• Website capability to display region-specific pricing

What you will do:

• Lead business discovery and requirements-gathering activities with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Define, prioritize, maintain, and govern the project backlog throughout the implementation lifecycle.
• Translate business requirements into epics, features, user stories, and detailed acceptance criteria.
• Facilitate backlog refinement sessions, stakeholder reviews, and requirement-validation discussions.
• Partner with the Project Manager to manage scope, dependencies, risks, assumptions, and delivery milestones.
• Serve as the primary business liaison between internal stakeholders, technology delivery teams, and vendor partners.
• Ensure requirements and delivered solutions align with business objectives, operational needs, and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Support user acceptance testing, including test-scenario development, defect triage, stakeholder coordination, and validation of completed functionality.
• Support implementation planning, readiness activities, and post-implementation stabilization as needed.
• Maintain clear documentation of decisions, requirements, priorities, and changes throughout the project lifecycle.

What makes you a good fit:

• Lead the project through discovery, design, and execution, developing and managing an integrated project plan, budget, schedule, and scope across all work streams.
• Drive alignment across cross-functional stakeholders and teams—including Finance/Treasury, Deposit Products, Marketing, Digital/Web, Core/Origination Systems, Risk, Compliance, and Frontline training—to a shared timeline and set of deliverables.
• Maintain systems dependency awareness across origination and core platforms,…
