Vice President, Treasury & Payments

Role Overview

• Own the payment flows that fund payroll across 130 countries and 60+ currencies so that every funding cycle clears accurately and on time.
• Improve cross-border payment infrastructure including routing, settlement timing, provider mix, and payment rails such as SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, Faster Payments, and BACS.
• Evaluate and pilot newer payment rails including stablecoin and crypto settlement, where they cut cost or speed delivery for clients, subject to legal and compliance review.
• Own rolling 90/180-day cash forecasting that factors in AR collections, client funding timing, and operating burn, with scenario planning to avoid liquidity gaps.
• Manage investment of operating and client cash through a managed portfolio balancing yield, safety, and liquidity.
• Understand financial reporting and own the treasury-related income statement line items (interest income, FX gains and losses, bank fees), with accountability for the related balance sheet positions.
• Own FX execution and hedging across all operating currencies, and keep spread costs and FX losses down through active provider management.
• Negotiate and benchmark FX and banking rates on an ongoing basis, keeping providers in competition to protect margin.
• Own primary banking relationships and the global account structure across 20+ banking partners and 150+ accounts; consolidate accounts and improve bank fees, earnings credits, and interest on idle balances.
• Source and build banking partnerships that scale with the business and hold up in a future transaction or diligence process.
• Own the control environment for money movement: signatory governance, maker-checker discipline, account segregation, and transaction limits.
• Run fraud-prevention controls for company and client funds, including separating primary cash from operating accounts and capping exposed accounts.
• Keep KYC and audit work on a forward calendar rather than reactive, and ensure controls satisfy SOX and external audit and risk committee review.
• Own treasury's AI and automation roadmap and cut the manual work the function carries today, without giving up accuracy or control.
• Target the highest-value use cases (forecasting, reconciliation, anomaly and fraud detection, reporting) and work with Finance Operations and Engineering to ship them.
• Raise the team's AI fluency and show what a modern treasury operation can run on.
• Lead, develop, and retain a treasury team of four, and set its priorities.
• Partner across Finance, Legal, Product, Revenue and Operations on cross-functional work, including ERP (NetSuite) and payments infrastructure.
• Provide strategic value to the executive leadership team and board, and act as a key interface with investors.
• Support Revenue through RFP responses, customer and prospect calls, and strategic review of the financial risk of prospects and customers.
• Own and maintain the department's policies, SOPs, and playbooks.

Requirements

• 8+ years in treasury, payments, or money movement, including a leadership role, with experience scaling a function as the business grows.

• A track record owning cash forecasting and liquidity management, ideally in a high-volume, multi-currency environment.
• Working knowledge of treasury controls, fraud prevention, and audit and compliance expectations (SOX, KYC, maker-checker).
• A hands-on record of using AI and automation to cut manual work and tighten controls, and the drive to extend the efficiencies the team has already built.
• Sound judgment under pressure in a role where errors are immediate and visible.
