The Director of Premier and Branch Banking Business Management is the senior business management and executive advisory leader to Premier and Branch Banking leadership, enabling Premier and Branch Banking and the Head of Premier and Branch Banking Administration to operate more effectively. The role operates with broad enterprise visibility and accountability, converting C-suite and Board priorities into an integrated management agenda, disciplined operating rhythms, informed executive decisions, and measurable business outcomes across Premier and Branch Banking.

This leader owns the strategy, quality, and orchestration of executive presentations and business reviews for the CEO, Board, Executive Leadership, and other senior governance forums; establishes and governs key leadership routines; directs strategic planning and business-case development and leads executive communications partnership. The Director exercises significant judgment and influence, integrates enterprise-wide inputs, challenges assumptions, frames recommendations and tradeoffs, and drives senior‑leader alignment, accountability, and timely execution—without duplicating ownership of teammate experience programs or broader initiative delivery assigned to other leaders.

Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.

• C‑suite and Board presentations and business reviews: Own the end‑to‑end strategy, storyline, content governance, and delivery readiness of Premier and Branch Banking materials for the CEO, Board, Executive Leadership, and other senior forums. Determine the critical insights, decisions, risks, and tradeoffs to elevate; integrate business and financial inputs; and hold contributors accountable for accuracy, clarity, and executive‑level quality.
• Executive operating governance: Establish and govern the business operating rhythm, including Purpose to Performance (P2P), monthly Senior Leadership Team meetings, and other recurring leadership and governance forums. Set the agenda and decision architecture, direct preparation and pre‑reads, facilitate executive alignment, document decisions, and ensure commitments are executed.
• Enterprise strategic planning: Direct annual and multi‑year planning for Premier and Branch Banking, translating enterprise priorities into an integrated strategic agenda with defined outcomes, investment requirements, performance measures, dependencies, and executive decision points.
• Business cases and investment decisions: Own the governance and executive positioning of business cases for material opportunities and investments. Ensure recommendations incorporate strategic rationale, financial returns, client and teammate impacts, risks, capacity, implementation requirements, and clear choices for senior decision‑makers.
• Executive communications strategy: Serve as the senior business partner to Corporate Communications for executive messaging, talking points, organization‑wide updates, and leadership narratives. Own alignment of communications to strategy, performance, enterprise context, and leadership intent.
• Senior executive advisory: Act as a trusted strategic advisor and enterprise integrator to senior leadership by anticipating emerging priorities, structuring complex or ambiguous issues, challenging assumptions, synthesizing disparate information, and advancing clear recommendations and decisions.
• Enterprise integration and influence: Convene and influence senior leaders across Finance, Strategy, Human Capital, Risk, Technology, Legal, Communications, and the business to resolve competing priorities, secure commitments, manage dependencies, and deliver integrated outcomes without direct authority over all contributors.
• Decision, risk, and action governance: Establish visibility and accountability for material leadership decisions, commitments, risks, escalations, and interdependencies. Drive resolution of issues that could affect business performance, strategic delivery, reputation, or executive commitments.
• Executive‑sponsored priorities: Lead highly confidential, complex, and time‑sensitive assignments on behalf of senior leadership when the work requires enterprise coordination, executive judgment, senior stakeholder influence, or rapid mobilization.
• Risk, control, and governance discipline: Set expectations for data integrity, appropriate challenge, escalation, and control rigor across executive materials, reporting, strategic planning, and operating routines; ensure decisions and recommendations reflect the organization’s risk appetite and governance standards.
• Team leadership: May have responsibility for leading a team of analysts and specialists who provide analytical, planning, presentation, and business management support aligned to the role’s primary objectives. Establish priorities and quality standards, develop talent, allocate capacity, and hold the team accountable for timely, accurate, and executive‑ready outcomes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Management, Communications, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Ten (10) years of progressively responsible experience in business management, strategy, executive advisory, corporate planning, consulting, finance, or financial services, including significant experience operating with senior executives.

• Advanced strategic, analytical, and financial acumen, including ownership of enterprise planning, performance management, investment cases, and executive‑level reporting.

• Impeccable discretion and sound judgment in managing confidential, market‑sensitive, reputationally significant, and time‑critical matters for C‑suite and senior executives.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, with a demonstrated record of producing Board‑and C‑suite‑ready deliverables under tight timelines.

• Graduate degree in Business, Finance, Management, or a related discipline.
• Significant financial services experience with deep knowledge of consumer banking, affluent and premier client segments, branch banking, distribution strategy, and enterprise governance.
• Experience leading a business management, strategy, enterprise planning, executive advisory, governance, or transformation function with direct accountability for senior executive deliverables and outcomes.
