In partnership with the Client/Partner Account Manager, formulate and execute strategies to accelerate customer integrations and ongoing growth.

Technology leadership experience in the financial services industry, or customer-facing technical leadership roles servicing the financial services industry. 10+ years leading and developing teams in infrastructure, database, data warehousing, software development, and enterprise architecture disciplines. 5+ years leading the implementation of enterprise-scale IT programs. Practical knowledge of Agile project management and software development methodologies such as Scrum and SAFe. Broad-based understanding of cloud platform services, cloud-native architectures, and cloud infrastructure. Bachelor's Degree in STEM or equivalent experience. Hands on development skillsHow to Stand Out
- Highlight concrete fintech delivery wins: in your résumé or interview, quantify end‑to‑end projects you led that launched payment or loyalty services (e.g., “Reduced onboarding time for 15 enterprise merchants from 12 weeks to 5 weeks, generating $3M incremental revenue in 6 months”). Use these numbers to demonstrate you can scale “never‑been‑done‑before” solutions.
- Showcase mastery of the tech stack that powers SYW’s platform: prepare a short case study (1–2 slides) showing your experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), API‑first architecture, micro‑services, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform). Emphasize any work integrating card‑issuing APIs or rewards engines, and be ready to discuss how you ensured security and compliance.
- Prove remote leadership fluency: list the collaboration tools you use daily (e.g., Slack, Zoom, Miro, Asana/Jira) and share a documented remote workflow that includes daily stand‑ups, KPI dashboards, and async decision‑making. Cite examples where you managed cross‑functional teams (product, engineering, compliance) across time zones and kept delivery on‑track.
- Prepare a “Client Delivery Playbook” as a portfolio piece: a 2‑page PDF outlining your methodology for client onboarding, SLA definition, risk mitigation, and scaling delivery operations. Include screenshots of dashboards, stakeholder maps, and a brief testimonial or metric from a previous employer to give interviewers a tangible artifact of your process.
- Arm yourself for salary negotiation with data: research US remote Head of Delivery compensation in fintech (e.g., base $180‑220k, target cash‑plus‑equity $250‑300k). Align your ask with measurable impact you can deliver (e.g., “My last role drove a 20% YoY increase in merchant activation, translating to $5M net new revenue”), and be prepared to discuss equity vesting cadence and performance‑based bonuses specific to SYW’s growth stage.
