  • Oversee reconciliations, controls, and reporting to ensure accuracy, resilience, and scalability.
• Run Treasury Operations at Scale:
  
  • Lead Treasury Operations across cash management, payments (wires/ACH), bank account administration, short-term investments, and daily liquidity positioning.
  • Deliver timely, decision-ready liquidity reporting and cash forecasts to support business growth and strategic initiatives.
  • Drive process improvements, automation, and system enhancements as transaction volumes and complexity increase.
• Build External Partnerships:
  
  • Lead key banking relationships and negotiate pricing and services to support growth efficiently.
  • Support lender and rating agency engagement as the firm scales.
• Lead and Develop Talent:
  
  • Lead, mentor, and develop Treasury Operations professionals.
  • Foster a high-performance, growth-oriented culture with strong risk awareness and accountability.

What You Need to Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required.
• 8-10+ years of progressive treasury experience, ideally within financial services, broker-dealer, asset management, or similarly regulated environments.
• Proven experience leading cash management, cash forecasting, and managing banking relationships in a complex organization.
• Strong understanding of capital markets, debt structures, investor/lender relations, and interest rate risk management.
• Track record of partnering effectively across Finance, Risk, Legal, Compliance, and Operations.
• Ability to balance growth, efficiency, and control in a regulated environment.
• Strong financial modeling, forecasting, and analytical skills.
• Clear, confident communicator with the ability to influence senior leaders and external partners.
