  • Understanding of digital banking, core banking systems, APIs, and integration models.
  • Familiarity with regulatory frameworks in the US banking sector (e.g., FDIC, OCC, CFPB, AML/KYC guidelines).
  • Exposure to Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS), embedded finance, or open banking is a strong advantage.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with ability to work on complex and cross-functional initiatives.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to engage effectively with stakeholders across business and technology.
  • Detail-oriented yet strategic thinker—able to see both the micro and macro perspectives.
