Responsibilities
- Enterprise Onboarding & Delivery: Lead cross-functional plans for delivering complex integrations and systems that drive growth for enterprise partners. Own the project lifecycle from discovery to "go-live."
- Strategic Roadmapping: Partner with business stakeholders to prioritize long-term strategic initiatives against short-term tactical needs, ensuring alignment with Bankrate's financial services goals.
- Technical & Creative Orchestration: Lead meetings between engineering, product, legal and commercial teams to track milestones, manage dependencies, and ensure the "Bankrate experience" is delivered flawlessly to the customer.
- Accountability & Influence: Assertively hold all internal and external parties accountable to strategic goals. Discover the "true requirements" underlying partner requests and recommend alternative process approaches when necessary.
- Operational Excellence: Build and maintain self-organizing systems using Jira, Asana, and Dashboards.
- Risk & Bottleneck Management: Anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, and make trade-offs that balance business benefit with technical debt. Identify interdependencies across concurrent projects to prevent downstream collisions.
- Senior Leadership Exposure: Provide regular progress reporting and tracking on all workstreams to senior leadership, acting as the primary point of contact for project health
Requirements
- 5-8 years of Project Management experience, ideally in a customer-facing SaaS or Financial Services environment. Proficiency in Asana, Slack, and Google Workspace.
- Solid Understanding of the software development life cycle and creative production workflows.
- Exceptional presentation skills; comfortable navigating complex conversations with external enterprise stakeholders and C-suite executives.
- Demonstrated judgment and negotiation skills-you know when to push back and when to pivot to meet aggressive timelines.
- A motivated leader who thrives in a team environment with representatives from multiple functional disciplines.
