• Own the enterprise cash forecast and liquidity position, including forecasting methodology, assumptions, and reporting to the CFO and Board; own operating banking relationships, treasury structure, and cash management policy; and partner with the CFO and VP, Capital Markets on debt compliance, covenant monitoring, and capital structure planning.
