About Treasury & This Role

Treasury plays a critical role in safeguarding the company's financial health, managing liquidity, cash flow, funding, and risk across the enterprise. Through an integrated risk-stripe approach spanning market, liquidity, and capital risk, Treasury actively manages the firm's balance sheet to support sustainable business growth. In parallel, Treasury operates deeply embedded cash management and settlement functions that ensure daily obligations are met, while owning fund transfer pricing capabilities that enable the businesses to accurately attribute profitability

As Treasury continues to modernize, we are investing heavily in data, cloud platforms, and AI to elevate analyst productivity, decision-making speed, and analytical depth. This role sits at the center of that transformation.
