Job Description
Circit is seeking a Bank API Onboarding Specialist to join its team on a 100 percent remote basis within a US time zone.

The company offers a Verify Transactions product that enables auditors and Big Four firms to collect financial data directly from financial institutions through bank APIs, eliminating the need for paper confirmations and screenshots. This position serves as a new function designed to scale operations, with the primary objective of successfully completing one hundred client-bank onboardings within the first year. As adoption grows, the person in this role will also build and lead a team of onboarding analysts.
This role suits an organised and process-minded professional who can independently manage multiple client-bank onboarding projects simultaneously. The successful candidate will coordinate interactions between corporate clients, financial institutions, and internal teams while overseeing new bank implementations from initial contact to the first live client. Responsibilities include setting timelines, managing dependencies, addressing risks, and standardising the onboarding process for volume. The position reports directly to the Director of Banking Platform and API Solutions.

- Oversee new bank implementations in coordination with banking platform engineers and bank technical teams when a bank is not yet live
- Initiate onboardings early to align with audit calendars and ensure data covers the required audit period
- Standardise processes by updating checklists and guides, measuring time-to-live, and removing friction to support high volume
- Communicate obstacles encountered by clients and banks to the product, sales, and customer success teams
Requirements
- Reside in the United States and be able to work US business hours
- Possess four or more years of project management experience involving external clients in areas such as implementation, onboarding, or integration

- Exhibit strong stakeholder management skills to follow up persistently and politely with large corporate and banking personnel
- Write and speak clear English capable of explaining technical steps simply
- Maintain an organised, process-minded approach with a habit of documenting procedures to make them repeatable
- Display comfort using project management tools such as Jira, Asana, or Smarthsheet
Qualifications
- Knowledge of APIs and authentication protocols including REST, OAuth 2.0, client IDs and secrets, and certificates or CSRs
- Experience with banking or treasury integration encompassing corporate banking, SWIFT, host-to-host, open banking, PSD2, FDX, or ISO 20022
- Background working at an open banking, treasury-tech, or bank-connectivity company such as Plaid, TrueLayer, Tink, Kyriba, Trovata, Necto, or Embat
- Experience within audit, Big Four firms, or audit-tech
- Possession of a project management certification such as PMP, PRINCE2, CAPM, or Scrum
