Client Engagement Director
Client Engagement Director
Precise Resource, Inc. is a leading privately held Women's Business Enterprise specializing in Executive Search and head-hunting services for Fortune 500 clients across the United States. We have been asked to assist our client in locating a Client Engagement Director.
Our client is a powerhouse quietly transforming how banks and credit unions connect with their customers across mobile, in-branch, and online, regardless of their core system. With a client list that includes the top three mobile banking apps in the U.S., this innovator is shaping the future of digital finance.
Their platform? An expansive ecosystem of ready-to-deploy tools and plug-and-play integrations. Their secret sauce? An API-first architecture and robust developer toolkit that lets financial institutions build smarter, move faster, and serve customers better wherever they are.
We seek a Client Engagement Director to serve as the primary point of contact for a select group of banking and credit union clients, leading the end-to-end delivery of complex, high-impact digital and branch transformation initiatives. This strategic, business-savvy leader will play a dual role—program delivery owner and relationship manager, ensuring a seamless client experience while managing timelines, dependencies, and cross-functional coordination with internal teams.
As part of a broader team supporting our top 75 clients, this role is crucial in driving adoption, satisfaction, and business impact for large financial institutions. The Client Engagement Director partners closely with a Digital Sales Manager (DSM), who co-owns the relationship and leads incremental sales. Together, you’ll create a unified client experience while keeping a laser focus on successful project execution and long-term engagement. This position blends program and project management expertise, relationship leadership, and a deep understanding of the digital banking landscape.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Serve as the primary relationship owner and delivery lead for 5–7 strategic financial institution clients, ensuring projects and services are executed with precision and quality.
- Own program-level delivery oversight, including defining scopes, managing implementation plans, setting timelines, and coordinating internal and client-side resources.
- Lead cross-functional project teams, collaborating across Product, Engineering, Support, and Operations to ensure seamless delivery from onboarding through expansion.
- Monitor delivery metrics such as on-time/on-budget, backlog of support issues, mean time to resolution, and client satisfaction scores (CSAT, NPS).
- Facilitate executive-level touchpoints (QBRs, roadmap reviews, check-ins) with the DSM to align on client strategy, delivery progress, and value realization.
- Actively track account health, risks, and project dependencies using CRM and collaboration tools; deliver insights to internal stakeholders and clients while mitigating risks and escalating issues as needed to maintain project momentum
- Oversee key technical implementations including core banking integrations, teller system upgrades, and digital self-service launches.
- Act as a program escalation point, quickly resolving delivery challenges and communicating impact and solutions to senior stakeholders.
- Contribute client feedback to product roadmap planning and serve as a voice of the customer in internal forums.
- Support the DSM in identifying cross-sell, upsell, and co-innovation opportunities, driving long-term account growth.
Qualifications
- 6–8+ years of experience in enterprise client leadership, program management, or implementation delivery in SaaS, fintech, or financial services technology.
- Proven track record of leading multi-phase, large enterprise cross-functional programs involving technical implementation, stakeholder management, and post-launch support.
- Strong understanding of core banking platforms, SSO/API integrations, digital onboarding, and teller infrastructure upgrades.
- Deep knowledge of financial services, digital transformation, and customer experience trends in both retail and commercial banking environments.
- Expertise in project delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid), and tools like Jira, Asana, MS Project, and Salesforce.
- Executive presence and excellent communication skills, capable of interfacing with C-level executives and translating technical details into business value.
- Ability to manage competing priorities and multiple complex programs simultaneously, while delivering high levels of client satisfaction.
