Follow us on Glassdoor and LinkedIn! We're looking for a Sr Value Engineer to join our fast-growing Customer Success team at MANTL. In this role, you'll lead meaningful work to listen and learn from our credit union partners, and co-create joint value plans that maximize the impact they achieve from their partnership with MANTL — measured by direct ROI, reduced back-office toil, increased branch efficiency, and stronger experiences for MSRs, lending officers, and member-facing staff. Ultimately, your work will drive deeper adoption of MANTL solutions within each credit union, improve partner health, and surface expansion opportunities that help our customers better serve their members. You'll bring a strong credit union or broader financial services background, sharing experience and perspective that allows you to lead with deep empathy and understanding — and to carry the voice of the credit union into every corner of MANTL. You'll quickly grasp each credit union's strategic objectives — whether that's accelerating member growth, expanding share of wallet, improving operational efficiency, or competing more effectively with larger FIs and fintechs — and consult on best-practice onboarding, implementation, adoption, change management, and engagement approaches to achieve measurable, value-based results.

Requirements

5+ years of experience working within credit unions, with a deep understanding of their operating model, member service expectations, and multi-channel member engagement across digital and in-branch experiences
Hands-on experience supporting the rollout or adoption of a new technology platform at a credit union — ideally an account opening, digital banking, or member-facing solution spanning both in-branch and online channels — including the change management and process redesign required to drive successful adoption
Strong consultative mindset, with the ability to align technology solutions to a credit union's strategic objectives — member growth, share and deposit growth, operational efficiency, and digital transformation
Familiarity with credit union back-office operations (account opening workflows, funding processes, core integrations) and working knowledge of relevant compliance considerations such as KYC, BSA/AML, and fraud prevention
Demonstrated ability to build trusted relationships and communicate effectively with credit union stakeholders at every level — from C-suite and volunteer boards to MSRs, lending officers, and operations staff
Experience collaborating cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Operations teams to advocate for customer needs and drive measurable outcomes
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate member and operational data into actionable insights, plus the organizational chops to manage multiple credit union engagements in a fast-paced fintech environment
Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills, with high initiative and the ability to work independently while keeping internal and external stakeholders aligned

Responsibilities

Consult with credit union partners on industry best practices — guiding them through technology adoption, change management, and operational transformation while honoring their member-first service models and principles
Develop success criteria tailored to each credit union's strategic goals — examples include share and deposit growth, new member acquisition, increased back-office automation, reduced manual effort per application, and improved funding rates
Partner with our Service Delivery/Implementation and Account Management teams to build credit union scorecards that track value realization over time
Serve as the voice of the credit union across MANTL, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and GTM teams to ensure their unique needs are represented in everything we build and bring to market
Create a best-practice playbook for operationally launching MANTL's omnichannel platform within a credit union, including a checklist of processes that will require updating across digital, branch, and back-office operations
Develop training plans and enablement resources for frontline, lending, and back-office staff to drive confident adoption from day one
Partner with Product Marketing to develop case studies, whitepapers, and thought leadership that resonate with credit union audiences and can be leveraged by Sales, Marketing, and Account Management teams
Represent MANTL at key industry events (CUNA GAC, league conferences, CUSO gatherings, etc.), building relationships and surfacing emerging trends to inform our roadmap and go-to-market strategy
