About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Director of Treasury & Financial Operations to drive coordination, cross-functional collaboration, and operational efficiency for our growing team.

• Own daily treasury operations, ensuring the flawless execution of high-volume wire transfers, ACH movements, cash reconciliations, and remittance reporting.
• Drive automation of the remittance reporting process through collaboration with our Servicing & Data teams
• Further strengthen and enhance treasury-related controls in a public company & SOX-compliant environment
• Identify operational bottlenecks in current wire processes and build efficiencies to optimize overall team capacity.
• Serve as a proactive communication bridge, translating day-to-day technical challenges upward to leadership and distilling strategic goals downward to the team.
• Support the execution of TopCo capital raising and investor engagement initiatives

What We Look For

• 8–10 years of experience in financial operations or treasury, specifically within a fast-paced FinTech or high-growth financial services company; deep FinOps experience, particularly in the mortgage servicing space, preferred.
• Proven experience designing payment infrastructure, new product operational flows of funds, and navigating modern payment rails (Wires, ACH, etc.).
• Demonstrated capability to mentor and guide team workflows through functional leadership and collaborative influence.
• A hands-on professional who thrives "in the weeds" of daily execution and possesses sharp risk judgment under tight daily deadlines.
• Experience in SOX-compliant environments
• The ambition and operational execution required to quickly step up into a broader leadership capacity.
• Adhere to all company security policies and data handling procedures.
• Complete mandatory security awareness training within required timeframes.
• Promptly report any suspected security incidents or suspicious activity to the Security team.
