About the Role

We are seeking a Director of Treasury & Fin Ops. As a key member of the team, you'll own the company's cash from where it sits, to where it moves, what it earns, and what protects it.

• Manage payment processor relationships and economics: processing and interchange costs, settlement timing, reserve requirements, and contract negotiation
• Oversee corporate insurance and manage the broker relationship and annual renewals
• Evaluate and monitor debt facilities and working capital financing as the business needs them, and own lender reporting and covenant compliance
• Own the treasury technology stack (TMS or bank portal strategy, payment controls, approval workflows, and segregation of duties) and build the fraud controls that keep a payment from leaving without two people knowing
