The role requires strong judgment, deep experience operating in regulated financial services environments, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders across Product, Technology, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Operations, and Commercial teams.

Role Positioning Statement

This role is intentionally designed as a senior commercialization and governance position, aligned with VP level Product Launch and Product Commercialization roles at peer banks. It owns launch readiness standards, executive decision support, and cross-functional governance critical to the success of the Product Factory.

Key Responsibilities

Program & Portfolio Management

Manage a portfolio of concurrent product launches, overseeing milestones, dependencies, risks, and issues across multiple initiatives. Maintain launch logs, dashboards, and executive-level status reporting to provide transparency to PRR leadership and senior stakeholders. Proactively identify readiness gaps or misalignment and drive resolution through escalation and structured decisioning.

Executive Decision Support & Judgment

Prepare and present go/no-go readiness packages for senior management, including risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and launch recommendations. Support executive readiness and launch forums with concise, decision-oriented materials. Exercise independent judgment in assessing launch readiness and in recommending launch timing, sequencing, or deferral where readiness standards are not met. Act as a trusted advisor to PRR leadership and product partners on readiness risk and launch execution strategy.

Continuous Improvement

Capture post-launch lessons learned and translate insights into updates to PRR standards, playbooks, templates, and governance artifacts. Contribute to the evolution of PRR from an initial governance model into a scalable, repeatable enterprise launch capability. 

Required Experience

7–10+ years of progressive experience in program or project management within financial services. Demonstrated experience managing complex, cross-functional initiatives in regulated environments. Strong understanding of governance frameworks, stage-gate processes, and executive reporting. 

Preferred Experience

Experience in Treasury Management, Transaction Banking, Payments, or Cash Management strongly preferred. Exposure to product launch, commercialization, platform migration, or large-scale change initiatives. Proven experience partnering with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Technology stakeholders.
