Engagement Lead

What you'll do

Ship the Product

• Deploy Casca's AI loan origination platform inside Tier 1 banks — you own the outcome when legacy systems that took decades to build get replaced in months
• Make the calls on scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs — what gets accelerated, what gets descoped, and what gets escalated to Casca leadership
• Remove roadblocks across bank and Casca teams — surface risks early, kill blockers fast, and keep complex multi-stakeholder programs moving
• Own ambiguity — when stakeholders conflict or requirements are murky, you resolve it, not escalate it
• Own derisking at the portfolio level — observe patterns across engagements and act before issues compound

Evolve the Product

• Partner with Product and engineering to translate client patterns into platform decisions — shape what becomes core product, what remains bespoke, and what must evolve for us to scale
• Identify recurring gaps and systemic friction across engagements and translate them into roadmap direction

Build the Playbook

• You're not following a deployment methodology — you're writing it. The frameworks you create will scale across every bank we onboard
• Codify lessons learned, set standards, and build a repeatable deployment model that improves with every engagement
• Drive cross-functional coordination across engineering, compliance, legal, and bank leadership — turn what works into how we operate

Be the Client Wizard

• Walk into rooms with senior banking executives as the authority on AI-powered lending — you'll know their systems, their pain points, and how to move them forward
• Develop and drive the narrative around AI-native lending and digital transformation — help banks see what's possible and build conviction to get there
• Navigate complex organizational dynamics and keep executive sponsorship strong throughout the engagement. Keep every stakeholder moving in the same direction, even when they don't agree on where that is

Build the Team

• Mentor and develop the embedded Deployment Strategists working inside each bank engagement
• Set the operating rhythm for the Casca side of each engagement — how your team communicates, escalates, and collaborates with engineering
• Be the connective tissue between client teams and Casca leadership — you translate what's happening on the ground into decisions at the company level

What you bring

• 4–6 years management consulting experience at a leading firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc.) or deployment leadership experience at a top tech company
• Proven track record managing large-scale software development and / or implementation projects ($5M+)
• Demonstrated ability to manage executive-level stakeholder relationships in regulated or complex enterprise environments
• Track record of building operational frameworks, playbooks, or delivery methodologies from the ground up
