Are you a digital transformation leader ready to architect the AI-driven future of the Banking sector? This is not a standard process optimization role. We are looking for a **Lead Value Engineer** to own customer success and drive high-stakes SaaS and AI adoption across top-tier global financial institutions and regional banking enterprise accounts. You will serve as the strategic bridge-translating complex financial and operational needs into technical strategy. As a trusted advisor to C-suite executives (CRO, CIO, CFO, Head of Retail/Wholesale Banking), you will blend deep banking DNA with elite management consulting and an AI-first mindset to realize maximum customer value. **The Impact You Will Drive** - **Value Architecture:** Translate executive banking priorities into high-impact AI use cases (e.g., intelligent credit underwriting, automated fraud mitigation, hyper-personalized wealth advisory) and Value Realization Frameworks. - **Solution Blueprints:** Architect scalable, end-to-end data flows to resolve complex operational bottlenecks across legacy core banking platforms, payment rails, and loan origination pipelines. - **Financial Quantification:** Build data-backed business cases driving $10M+ in OPEX savings, risk reduction, or net-new revenue generation. - **Executive Advisory:** Deliver high-stakes value narratives to C-suite stakeholders and G-SIB (Global Systemically Important Banks) leadership to accelerate software adoption pipelines. - **Process Transformation:** Automate complex front-to-back office workflows (e.g., institutional onboarding, trade lifecycle management) using Lean or Six Sigma methodologies while maintaining bulletproof audit trails. - **Lifecycle Management:** Own the end-to-end customer value journey from technical discovery and proof-of-concept pilots through to impactful Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs). **Who You Are: The Ideal Background** You are a strategic leader with 7-10 years of experience navigating unstructured enterprise problems. To be successful in this role, you must possess a hybrid background that bridges institutional financial services and elite business strategy. We are looking for candidates who fit one of the following exact trajectories: - **The Banker turned Consultant:** You began your career in risk management, capital markets, or retail/commercial banking operations at a major financial institution, and subsequently pivoted into Management Consulting, Strategy, or SaaS Value Engineering. - **The Consultant turned Banking Digital Strategist:** You began your career at an MBB, Big 4, or elite tech consultancy, built a deep portfolio of quantified business cases in digital transformation, and subsequently specialized heavily within Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, or FinTech. **The Non-Negotiables** - **Value-Led Consulting:** Proven track record in consultative value-selling, value engineering, or account strategy for enterprise SaaS digital transformations. - **Next-Gen Tech Fluency:** Functional understanding of Generative AI, process mining, and their intersection with enterprise financial systems and core banking platforms (e.g., FIS, Fiserv, Temenos, or SAP Banking). - **Banking Domain Expertise:** Deep knowledge in 2+ areas across Credit Risk & Underwriting, Wealth Management/Advisory, Payments & Clearing, Capital Markets, Asset/Liability Management (ALM), or KYC/AML Operations. - **Back-Office & Compliance:** Strong grasp of financial services risk management frameworks, internal controls, and major regulatory mandates (e.g., Dodd-Frank, Basel III/IV, SEC, FINRA, CFPB). **Education & Certifications** - B.S. or M.S. in Finance, Economics, Financial Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or Business Administration. - LSS Black Belt, Lean/Six Sigma, or Advanced Data Analytics / CFA / FRM certifications are a major plus.
