Requirements
• 5+ years of experience delivering complex, cross-functional programs, ideally in financial services, fintech, or a data-heavy environment • Track record of leading delivery for multiple concurrent initiatives spanning three or more cross-functional teams, including technical teams • Working knowledge of the data and model development lifecycle (data engineering, development, validation, deployment, monitoring), enough to plan work and manage dependencies with technical teams • Experience working within model governance, model risk management, or other formal review and approval processes in a regulated environment • Experience building delivery structure, processes, or standards (intake, documentation, status reporting, handoffs) that teams adopted and sustained • Clear, direct communication in writing and in meetings, with ownership, status, and next steps unambiguous • Experience calibrating escalation to senior leaders, knowing what to raise and what to resolve directly • Experience informally guiding or coaching colleagues without formal management authority • Ability to travel ~4+ times per year for high quality in person collaboration • Direct experience with 2nd line oversight or bank regulator expectations for model risk management (e.g., SR 11-7) • Experience delivering data platform, pipeline, or analytics initiatives alongside credit risk or other financial models • Experience standing up a new function or process where no established approach existed
Responsibilities
• You see delivery risk early. You notice the missing data dependency, the skipped validation step, or the sequencing conflict, trace it to its source, and bring a recommendation to the table. • You are at home in data-heavy work and know how data quality, lineage, and availability shape what can ship and when. • You understand how models are built, validated, governed, and deployed well enough to plan around the work and discuss it credibly with the data scientists, credit partners, and model risk reviewers who do it every day. • You lead across teams you don’t manage. You build trust early and bring teams to a plan everyone understands. • You make sound sequencing and priority calls as the picture develops, and you explain your reasoning clearly. • You explain the “why” behind a new way of working clearly enough that teams adopt it and keep using it. • You communicate with precision: clear plans, clear status, clear escalation, and no ambiguity about who owns what or what happens next. • You share what you know, guiding colleagues through coaching and example.
Benefits
• Annual full-time starting base salary range: $117,000 - $152,000 • This role is eligible for additional compensation in the forms of participation in our annual incentive and equity programs. • Pay is based on factors such as work experience, education, certification(s), training, skills, and competencies related to the role. Mission Lane also offers a comprehensive benefits plan, which includes paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health/dental/vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-first work environment. • Founded in December 2018, Mission Lane is a purpose-driven fintech company based in the U.S., with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. • It all started with a realization: nearly fifty percent of the adult population in the U.S. doesn’t have access to a clear line of credit. Most traditional credit card companies either overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-perfect credit scores or no scores at all. We decided this just wouldn’t do. • In partnership with our sponsor banks, we offer credit cards under the Mission Lane brand name, with better, clearer terms, and a more refined customer experience than the alternatives available to people working hard to improve their credit. To date, over four million consumers have chosen Mission Lane, earning high customer ratings on Credit Karma for its market segment and industry leading Net Promoter scores. • Mission Lane has cumulatively raised over $600 million of equity from leading investors, including Invus Opportunities, QED Investors, LL Funds, funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, and other leading investors. • Our commitment to a workplace built on respect and dignity is guided by our core value of Unity. We believe that everyone plays a vital role in our shared purpose, and we actively cultivate an environment where all individuals have the opportunity to do their best work. By fostering a culture of empathy and collaboration, we create a strong sense of belonging and support for every team member.
