Senior Treasury Analyst (Asst. Treasurer Track), Kyriba Implementation (NYC Hybrid)
14 hours ago
New York
You've built a career in treasury. You know the mechanics, you understand the strategy, and you've earned the right to own something bigger than your current title allows. But at your company, the path from Senior Analyst to the next level runs through years of waiting, layers of approvals, and a promotion timeline someone else controls. โ What if you could skip the line? โ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฌ Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a fast-growing insurance carrier backed by a major private equity firm. This company was built from scratch by senior leadership recruited from some of the most respected names in insurance and financial services, and it has scaled rapidly with significant capital behind it. โ The treasury function is brand new. The Treasurer is building a team of three, and this Senior Treasury Analyst role is the centerpiece: the person who drives the analytical engine, leads the TMS implementation, and sets the standard for how treasury operates as the business grows. โ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก This is not just a Senior Analyst title. You will function as a de facto Assistant Treasurer, building treasury operations alongside the Treasurer with direct access to the CFO and CEO daily. The Treasurer described it this way: "You're going to be on the ground floor building treasury with the Treasurer from the ground up, effectively acting as an assistant treasurer. If you've got a decent amount of experience, this could be a real way to move up your career quickly and get a ton of experience you wouldn't get at a large shop." โ The company just signed with Kyriba for their Treasury Management System. The implementation hasn't started yet. You would lead that buildout from the operations side, working with the implementation consultant to configure and launch the platform. That is your project from day one. โ ๐ช๐๐ฌ ๐ง๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฌ Most insurance companies are running on decades-old technology, buried in technical debt. This company is building a modern, cloud-native platform from scratch, designed to scale rapidly while redefining how policyholders experience financial products. โ The PE backing isn't just money. The firm behind this company has a track record of building industry-leading businesses across financial services, consumer brands, and technology. The thesis: take a proven operator, give them a blank slate, back them with serious capital, and let them build the company they always envisioned. โ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฅ๐ง๐จ๐ก๐๐ง๐ฌ You will report directly to the Treasurer in a three-person team. There are no VP or SVP layers between you and the C-suite. The company runs a flat, collaborative structure where titles are simple and access is real. โ Your scope covers the analytical and strategic side of treasury: liquidity forecasting, capital and collateral management, investment portfolio support, treasury analytics, and reporting. You will also supervise daily treasury operations run by the Treasury Analyst, mentoring them as processes mature and the function scales. โ ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ก ๐๐ก-๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ง This role requires four days per week in-office in Midtown Manhattan (Monday through Thursday), with Fridays remote. This is firm and comes directly from leadership. If a hybrid schedule with four days onsite does not work for you, this is not the right fit. We want to be upfront about this so neither side wastes time. โ ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ'๐๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ โข Lead the Kyriba TMS implementation: work with the consultant to configure the platform, define workflows, test integrations, and drive adoption across the treasury function, โข Own cash flow forecasting across multiple time horizons, gathering inputs cross-functionally from accounting, investments, and operations and presenting to the Treasurer and CFO, โข Manage liquidity monitoring, collateral management, and capital requirement reporting as the insurance platform scales, โข Support capital markets activity including FHLB program administration, credit facility management, and external counterparty interaction, โข Supervise and mentor the Treasury Analyst on daily treasury operations (cash positioning, wire processing, bank reconciliation), ensuring quality and consistency as processes scale, โข Build treasury analytics and reporting frameworks from scratch, including board-level and investor-facing deliverables, โข Manage banking relationships end-to-end: lead conversations with banking partners, optimize account structures, drive fee negotiations, and handle the operational plumbing of bank forms, controls, and file configurations, โข Develop and document treasury policies, SOPs, and internal controls where none currently exist โ ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ฆ Let's be direct: you're good at what you do. But at a large company, you're going to get strung along for a long time before you get real visibility or ownership. โ Here's the alternative: join a company backed by a major PE firm, led by leadership with decades of industry credibility, and build treasury from scratch alongside the Treasurer. You will get years of compressed experience, direct C-suite interaction, and the kind of resume line that separates you from everyone else at your level. โ If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to make a move, this is it. โ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ This is a startup. Right now, even the Treasurer is moving cash. The hiring manager said it directly: "I need somebody that's really excited, that wants to work on things. The job will get interesting, but right now it's a lot of rolling up your sleeves." โ There are no inherited playbooks. You will write the playbook. If you need established processes and clear guardrails to do your best work, this isn't the right fit. If ambiguity energizes you and you want to build something you can point to and say "I did that," keep reading. โ You also need to understand how insurance companies make money. That is not negotiable. The team recently passed on a candidate specifically because they could not articulate the basic insurance business model. Come prepared to talk about how insurers generate revenue, manage float, and think about risk. If you haven't done the homework before the interview, you won't get past the first conversation. โ ๐ค๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ: โข 6 to 12 years of corporate treasury experience with demonstrated breadth across multiple functions. This is critical: if your career has been concentrated in a single treasury function, even if you've done it well for a decade, this role requires someone who has touched cash management, forecasting, capital markets, banking operations, and reporting. The CFO recently passed on a candidate whose experience was deep but narrow., โข Insurance or regulated financial institution background strongly preferred. Insurance experience is a near-firm requirement from leadership, not just a preference. Candidates from banking, asset management, or other regulated financial services will be considered if exceptional across every other dimension., โข CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) certification strongly preferred. CFA or MBA also valued, but CTP carries the most weight for this role., โข Hands-on experience with cash flow forecasting, liquidity management, and treasury reporting, โข Working knowledge of capital markets instruments: FHLB, revolving credit facilities, commercial paper, or debt programs, โข TMS experience as a daily user (Kyriba preferred). Understanding of how treasury management systems work is required; implementation experience is a strong plus but not mandatory., โข Direct banking relationship management experience, and not just transacting within systems someone else manages. You need to speak the language of bank operations: forms, controls, file configurations, account structures. The Treasurer needs someone who can pick up the phone with a banking partner and own the conversation., โข Ability to commute to Midtown Manhattan 4 days per week, no exceptions โ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐: โข Experience from a middle market insurance carrier, reinsurer, or PE-backed insurance platform (teams of 5 to 20 people are the sweet spot), โข Kyriba implementation involvement (configuration, testing, go-live, not just managing the consultant), โข JPMorgan Access or Oracle Financials experience, โข Experience mentoring or supervising junior treasury staff, โข ALM, collateral management, or investment portfolio support exposure โ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ๐: $140,000 to $160,000 ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐: 10% to 15% annual target ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ณ๐ณ: 20 vacation days, 5 sick days, 14 paid company holidays ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ: Multiple plan options with 100% employer-paid medical and dental available (varies by zip code; 8 to 10 plans depending on state).
