- Honored by the Minnesota Mortgage Association as 2025 Leaders of the Year
But the story is bigger than growth metrics and awards. Luminate Bank is building a culture designed for ambitious, high-performing people who want to shape the future of banking. We move quickly, think boldly, and invest deeply in our people. Innovation, accountability, collaboration, and customer experience are at the center of everything we do.
What began as a rapidly growing lending and banking platform is now entering its next phase: building a nationally recognized financial brand that redefines how modern banking is experienced.
For leaders who want the opportunity to build, scale, and leave a lasting impact, this is a rare moment to join a company with startup energy, national momentum, and a long runway ahead.
POSITION OVERVIEW
Luminate Bank is building a technology team that moves fast and delivers. We are looking for a Senior Technology Project Manager who owns our bank technology projects from idea to go-live. You will set the plan, assign the work, lead our core and digital banking vendors, and make sure projects finish on time and in scope.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will translate business needs into clear requirements for Jack Henry and our other core banking system providers, recommend the right technical solution, and partner with our development team when a gap calls for a proprietary application or AI agent built on vendor APIs.
