About the Opportunity:
Catapult Staffing Group is partnering with a leading financial technology provider that serves banks and credit unions across the country. They need two Deposit Operations specialists to help financial institutions move to new core banking systems. You’ll work alongside the client team through every phase of a conversion: design, data mapping, training, testing, and go-live. If you know how deposit operations work behind the scenes and you like being the person a bank leans on during a big change, this role is a good fit. It also comes with a clear path to a permanent position.
What You’ll Do:
Support core conversions and implementations from design through post-conversion
Review conversion data and mapping for deposit/DDA products
Configure and validate deposit account parameters
Train financial institution staff on new core software
Run testing and validation, and resolve operational issues as they come up
Travel to client sites for implementation and go-live support (usually 1–2 trips a month, 6–9 days each)
What You Bring About 5–7 years of banking experience, with hands-on DDA or back-office deposit operations work
Strong knowledge of deposit account parameters and configuration
Experience with one or more of these core platforms: SilverLake (strongly preferred), CIF 20/20, Core Director, or Symitar
Experience with testing, validation, and implementation work
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and comfort working on your own in a fast-paced setting
Clear, confident written and verbal communication
Willingness to travel 50–60% and to work extended hours during testing and go-live, including evenings, weekends, and some late nights
Nice to Have EIP (Electronic Image Processing) experience
Core conversion or bank merger experience, on any core platform
Experience preparing clients for system implementations
Education A bachelor’s degree in finance, business, or a related field is a plus. Equivalent banking operations experience is also considered.
$35-$40/hour (W-2)
All business travel expenses covered: airfare, lodging, meals, and transportation
Hands-on training: you’ll shadow a senior analyst, work through simulated conversions, and take structured classes
Expected conversion to a full-time role after 18 months
