NEW DIGITAL BANK MISSION STATEMENT:

Join us on our mission to create a completely new, 100% digital bank that truly serves customers’ best interests. We are a close knit and fun-loving team of seasoned financial services professionals who came together for the challenge of building a bank from scratch – and we are committed to doing it all the right way (from technology infrastructure to modern marketing to customer experience).

We work with the flexibility and speed of start-up. But we also have significant stability and capital from being part of the SMBC Group (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation). SMBC is the 2nd largest bank in Japan, and the 12th largest bank in the world with operations in over 40 countries. And SMBC is committed to disrupting the US marketplace with ground-breaking products.

It’s the best of both worlds, and we are seeking proven marketing leaders to propel us towards national launch. We have both the ambitious growth plans and the “patient capital” necessary to execute a multi-year plan. Join us on the journey to deliver an exciting concept of evolved banking.

JOB SUMMARY:

Reporting to the SVP, Deposit and Lending Operations Executive, this position will support the insourced operational needs of the Deposits, Lending, Call Center, and Account Application Operations Leaders.

The Challenge: At launch, our data warehouse will not yet be in place. You will source data from various de-centralized sources to create reporting and visualizations.

As the Data Warehouse is built, you will be our key source of report building and analysis from this environment. Your skills with analysis and lean thinking will now come into play as you apply DMAIC to identify and improve processes. Eventually, this positions journey will lead towards Machine Learning and Robotics, with tools such as Automation Anywhere or Blue Prism, to automate functions and build efficiency.

Who you are: You likely have a couple of years of experience and are a fan of data and data analysis tools and continuous improvement. You have these skills and certifications as a minimum. You might already be on a Six Sigma or Lean certification path. You know the future is automation, and you either have skills in this field, or plan to have them on your educational journey.
