Treasury Director

About the Role

We are seeking a contractor to provide hands-on execution support across the FR 2052a book of work as well as Recovery & Resolution Planning initiatives. The role will help ensure data used for liquidity and resolution reporting is well-controlled, traceable end-to-end, and supported by clear documentation and governance.

Project

Primary FR 2052a deliverable:

• Manage the execution of the FR 2052a Traceability Document, including end-to-end data lineage, regulatory interpretations, define governance model and document controls across technology, maker/checkers and report owners (e.g., ownership, attestations, issues, change management).

RRP support:

• Coordinate data and documentation inputs (e.g., liquidity & funding metrics, playbooks), input RRP liquidity stress assumptions with integration from ILST/capital stress testing, develop liquidity stress projections aligned to financial forecasts, outline key indicators and document treasury governance and escalation triggers.

Candidate Value Proposition

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to: drive visible, regulatory-facing deliverables; work at the intersection of liquidity reporting, data governance, and operational resilience; and partner closely with Finance, Treasury, Technology, and Risk to improve data quality and control discipline.

Typical Day in Role

• Maintain the FR 2052a Traceability Document:
  • refresh lineage diagrams/narratives, source-to-report mappings, key calculations, material assumptions, and known limitations
  • ensure version control and audit-ready evidence.
• Partner with data owners, SMEs, and technology teams to validate lineage, document regulatory interpretation, and map processes to governance and controls (controls inventory, control descriptions, testing artifacts, issue management).

Candidate Requirements/Must Have Skills

1. 8+ years supporting regulatory reporting, liquidity/treasury reporting, finance transformation, or data governance/control initiatives within a financial institution.
2. Demonstrated experience creating/maintaining traceability and data lineage documentation (source systems, transformations, controls, and reporting outputs); strong attention to detail and documentation quality.
3. Knowledge of governance and control concepts (RCSA, control design/operating effectiveness, issue & action tracking, evidence management) and ability to map processes/data to the control environment.
4. Strong knowledge of RRP regulatory requirements, deliverables and concepts.
5. Strong stakeholder and project coordination skills; comfortable driving working sessions, documenting decisions, managing dependencies, and escalating risks/issues.
6. Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills; ability to synthesize complex processes/data into clear narratives for management, auditors, and regulators.
7. FR 2052a experience (data sourcing, interpretive guidance and key schedules/segments).

Nice-To-Have Skills

1. Exposure to Recovery & Resolution Planning, liquidity contingency frameworks, or operational resilience (e.g., playbooks, dry runs, capability testing).
2. Familiarity with data tooling and artifacts (SQL, data dictionaries, Jira/Confluence, SharePoint)
3. CPA, CFA, FRM, PMP, CBAP, or data governance/control certifications (e.g., CDMP) or equivalent practical experience.

Soft Skills Required

1. Clear, concise written communication; able to produce regulator/audit-ready documentation.
2. Highly organized; can manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, and dependencies with minimal oversight.
3. Confident facilitator who can challenge constructively, drive consensus, and escalate appropriately.

Education

1. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Information Systems, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).

Best VS. Average Candidate

Top candidate will have/be someone who: quickly becomes the "go-to” owner for traceability and control documentation, anticipates questions, and proactively closes gaps in lineage, interpretation, and evidence.

1. Can translate regulatory requirements into clear, testable documentation (what the rule expects, how the firm implements it, and where the evidence resides).
2. Brings a structured approach to each deliverable (data dictionary, transformations, reconciliations) and connects it to controls (ownership, frequency, thresholds, issue triggers).
