Bank API Onboarding Specialist

Circit Limited • New York, NY

11d • Remote

About The Position

Circit is a Central Bank of Ireland-regulated Account Information Service Provider (PSD2). Its Verify Transactions product enables auditors, including Big Four firms, to verify financial data directly from banks through bank APIs, replacing paper confirmations and screenshots with data sourced directly from banks.

The Bank API Onboarding Specialist owns onboarding projects that connect corporate clients to corporate bank APIs. Each project involves the corporate client, the bank and Circit. The specialist manages multiple projects from kickoff through first live data and handover, coordinating stakeholders, timelines, risks and technical setup. For banks not yet live on Circit, the specialist coordinates implementation with Circit's Banking Platform team and the bank's technical team, from initial contact through the first live client.

This is a new function intended to scale, with a target of completing 100 client-bank onboardings in the first 12 months. As Premium APIs are adopted and onboarding demand grows, the specialist will build and lead a team of onboarding analysts. The role is 100% remote and requires working US business hours. It reports to the Director of Banking Platform & API Solutions.
