Project Manager

Sandbox Banking is looking for an exceptional project manager who wants to reshape how innovative software is integrated in the financial services industry. We have rapidly growing revenue, are backed by Y Combinator (W17), and have raised seed capital. We are a remote team with employees across the continental US. Sandbox is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Product Sandbox is a universal adapter for banks and credit unions. It provides financial institutions (FIs) a better way to integrate fintech software with their existing systems. US regional/community banks and credit unions are looking to overhaul the digital experiences they deliver to customers. Increasingly, they solve this challenge by sourcing software from fintech companies that specialize in building and operating financial services software. Unfortunately, distributing new software to FIs has historically been a long and painful process because of data security and system integration hurdles. Sandbox empowers FIs and fintech vendors to quickly and safely build new integrations — our Glyue application lets anyone who can use Excel formulas connect banking systems. Furthermore, the platform's fine-grained authentication and permissions model provides FIs with strict control over which people/software can access particular banking data and operations. FIs and fintechs love the platform. FIs are able to quickly and cost-effectively leverage cutting-edge solutions without compromising on integration; fintechs don't need to spend time and money on activities outside of core product development and distribution.

They are able to dive into the details of a specific integration while also thinking about the overall project time-line. They are able to manage customer expectations while holding internal and external stakeholders accountable for tasks required per a project plan. They are multi-taskers extraordinaire and need to manage multiple projects at once. A few things we require: • Financial services experience – retail or commercial banking experience is a plus • Experience managing the delivery of complex software projects • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English • Strong deductive and inductive reasoning abilities • Highly organized and capable of tracking current status, blockers, and next steps across multiple projects • Willingness to live and work in the US There are additional requirements related to logistics and behavior: • Ability to work from our office in New York (Brooklyn) for at least two weeks at start of employment.

NOTE: We are unable to sponsor work visas at this time. • Willingness and ability to proactively and patiently collaborate with our customers and fintech partners. To succeed, this individual will need to constantly discuss/record/broadcast business processes and requirements. There are times when acquiring a single piece of critical information requires two or three conversations with different project stakeholders; this project manager must be unrelenting in such scenarios. • Fanatical passion for delivering the best possible experience to all stakeholders • Willingness to re-prioritize work as project requirements change
