Title: Senior Manager, Credit Card Projects - Finance (12-mo Contract)

Requisition ID: 278247

Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

Purpose

Leads and oversees the Finance workstream supporting the Velocity program, Tangerine’s migration of its core banking platform to a current cloud-based system and Credit Card launch, ensuring Finance requirements, plans and initiatives are executed and delivered in accordance with governing regulations, internal policies, procedures and established Finance control requirements. The Senior Manager, Credit Card Finance Projects will represent Finance within the cross-functional Velocity team and lead the design, validation and implementation of accounting, financial reporting, Finance data, reconciliation, control, regulatory reporting and operational readiness requirements required for launch. This is primarily a project delivery and product launch role, with responsibility for implementation readiness, launch stabilization and transition to BAU. Following implementation, the Senior Manager will provide structured and time-bound stabilization support, including initial accounting-cycle validation, reconciliation support, issue remediation, documentation and knowledge transfer. Permanent ownership of recurring credit card accounting, settlement, reconciliation, regulatory reporting, vendor oversight and related BAU activities will transition to the designated Finance and operational owners. This preserves the scope distinction in your current JD, where BAU ownership transitions to the designated owners after stabilization
