For Banks & Financial Institutions

Two banks just merged. Do your job descriptions agree on what a “branch manager” actually does?

A governed, audit-ready job description library for financial institutions — built on SAP® SuccessFactors®.

JDMS® is an award-winning job description management solution. For financial institutions, that means standardized, defensible job content across every branch, business line, and legal entity — not conflicting legacy templates from the last acquisition.

Built for teams navigating every merger

Somewhere in your organization, two branch managers who used to work for different banks are comparing notes after last year’s merger — and discovering their “branch manager” job descriptions don’t agree on pay grade, supervisory scope, or who’s actually responsible for flagging suspicious activity. Multiply that by every title the acquisition brought in, and HR is left reconciling a job architecture nobody fully owns.

The Reality Financial Services HR Teams Live With

None of this shows up on an org chart — until it does.

Mergers and acquisitions stitching together different job architectures, pay grades, and titles overnight
Regulated, compliance-critical roles — BSA/AML, fair lending, SOX-controlled functions — where the job description is the evidence of proper segregation of duties
Licensed and registered roles where the job description must reflect what’s actually required
Wage-hour exposure on roles like loan officers and personal bankers, where duties on paper don’t match duties in practice
Specialized expertise — trust administration, commercial underwriting — walking out the door with almost no one behind it
The Turning Point

Eventually, someone asks the question your job library can’t answer.

An examiner asks whether your BSA officer’s documented duties create a segregation-of-duties conflict. A SOX auditor can’t tie a control to a job description that matches what the role actually does. A wage-hour claim turns on whether a “loan officer” was ever accurately classified. For a financial institution running thousands of descriptions across branches, business lines, and legal entities inherited through acquisition, it isn’t a matter of if — it’s when.
