Role Overview

The Senior Vice President, iWeb Platform is the owner of The Bankers Bank’s proprietary correspondent banking platform—iWeb—the operational and technology backbone supporting community banks’ daily movement of funds across multiple payment rails.

This role blends product strategy leadership and engineering execution, with accountability for iWeb’s vision, roadmap, software delivery, quality, stability, and long-term evolution. Reporting to the CTO/CISO, and partnering closely with the COO, licensees, and business development leadership, the SVP serves as the enterprise bridge between technology, operations, compliance, and commercial strategy.
