Bank or credit union experience is required. Credit union experience is strongly preferred.

The Opportunity

You will serve as a central point of coordination between internal leadership, technology, business departments, Corelation, and third party vendors throughout the conversion.

What You’ll Lead

• Overall planning and coordination of the XP2 to Corelation Keystone conversion
• Project timelines, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables

• Risk, issue, action item, and dependency tracking
• Vendor accountability and follow up
• Executive level project reporting
• Conversion documentation and status communication
• Training and organizational readiness
• Cutover planning
