JOB DESCRIPTION

Summary/Objective

The Director of Retail Excellence is responsible for the end-to-end operational health, physical infrastructure, and human capital efficiency of the bank’s retail division. You will serve as the primary architect for how products and services are delivered to our clients, ensuring that every branch and ATM operates with precision, every employee is equipped to succeed, and every square foot of our physical footprint is optimized to deliver top quartile returns.

Strategic Operations & Governance Excellence

  • Training & Development: Direct retail training to create robust onboarding and continuous education programs for branch personnel.
  • Incentive Design: Collaborate with Finance and HR to design, implement, and track incentive structures that drive the right behaviors and reward high performance.


Process Excellence

  • Fulfillment Efficiency: Identify bottlenecks in account opening, lending, and service workflows, utilizing Lean or Six Sigma methodologies to streamline delivery.
  • Reporting & Analytics: Establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the retail line of business and provide monthly performance reports.
  • Understanding of Client Experience: Work closely and communicate often with Chief Client Experience Officer to understand issues addressed raised by clients and develop proactive preventative solutions.
