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. This role bridges the gap between strategy and execution; you will handle and improve recurring core financial workflows alongside the team, while functionally managing the daily division of labor to ensure seamless execution.

This position is ideal for an ambitious operator who thrives on building efficient systems, enjoys the fast-paced world of FinTech, and is looking for a role with a direct, earned pathway to a Director-level position.

What You'll Do
  • Architect and implement scalable funds flows and operational workflows for new FinTech products and pilot programs, providing cross-functional support to the Capital Markets and Revenue-related areas of the business.
  • Quarterback the daily rhythm of the analyst team, managing responsibilities and the division of labor without replacing their direct connection to leadership.
  • 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.

Salary
  • Base Compensation Range: $161,000-$218,500/yr
  • 25% annual bonus target, paid quarterly
  • Company equity in the form of RSUs

This is the compensation range for the role in the United States. Actual compensation may vary based on a candidate's experience, skills, location, internal equity, and evolving business needs. While most offers are generally made within the middle of the range, final compensation is determined based on the factors above.

Benefits
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% employer-paid premiums for employees and their dependents on select plans
    Company HSA, FSA, Dependent Care FSA, 401(k), and commuter benefits
    Employer-paid life and disability insurance
