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.

Lead the project through discovery, design, and execution, developing and managing an integrated project plan, budget, schedule, and scope across all workstreams.
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.
