About this role
Cross River is seeking an experienced relationship manager to serve as the primary point of contact for fintech and enterprise banking clients navigating cross-border payments and related financial products. You'll own the full client lifecycle—from retention and growth strategy to quarterly business reviews—while identifying expansion opportunities across product lines and working closely with internal teams to solve problems and implement solutions. The role requires you to stay deeply informed about each client's business model and competitive landscape, interpret complex data to inform decisions, and advocate effectively across the organization.
This position demands six or more years managing relationships in payments, fintech, or banking, with particular depth in cross-border payments, BIN sponsorship, and banking-as-a-service models. You'll need to balance regulatory knowledge (AML/BSA compliance, contract review with legal) with commercial acumen, moving comfortably between strategic planning conversations with senior executives and operational problem-solving with internal departments. Success here means thriving in a fast-moving environment where you manage multiple priorities independently, communicate clearly across functions, and genuinely enjoy untangling client challenges.
Based in Fort Lee, New Jersey, this hybrid role offers a salary range of $150,000 to $170,000 and includes periodic travel to deepen client relationships.
