Vice President, Treasury & Payments

Pebl

2d•$232,000 - $300,000

About The Position

This role demands genuine depth in payments and money movement: cross-border flows, FX, settlement mechanics, and banking economics. We also expect this person to lead Treasury's AI and automation agenda and reduce the manual work the function carries today. The Treasurer manages a team of four and works closely with FP&A, Accounting, Operations, Legal, Revenue and Product.

Requirements

8+ years in treasury, payments, or money movement, including a leadership role, with experience scaling a function as the business grows.
Management experience leading a global team, with a proven track record of cross-departmental collaboration and project and product management.
Practitioner-level command of cross-border payments, FX, and banking economics: spreads, rate negotiation, settlement mechanics, and account structure.
A track record owning cash forecasting and liquidity management, ideally in a high-volume, multi-currency environment.
Working knowledge of treasury controls, fraud prevention, and audit and compliance expectations (SOX, KYC, maker-checker).
A hands-on record of using AI and automation to cut manual work and tighten controls, and the drive to extend the efficiencies the team has already built.
Sound judgment under pressure in a role where errors are immediate and visible.

Nice To Haves

Experience in EOR, global payroll, payments, or fintech, or another high-volume cross-border money-movement business.
Familiarity with stablecoin or crypto settlement rails and the regulatory considerations that come with them.
Technical fluency with bank-integration methods and payment messaging standards: host-to-host (H2H), SFTP, APIs, and ISO 20022 XML.
Direct experience deploying LLM and AI tooling in a finance or treasury context: prompt engineering, reusable template design, and integration work that moves teams from analysis into faster decision-making.
Experience supporting M&A, financing, or sale-process diligence from the treasury side.
Hands-on experience with NetSuite, Treasury Management Stations such as Kyriba or Treasury4 and modern treasury and payments tooling.
Certificated Treasury Professional or Chartered Financial Analyst

Responsibilities

Own the payment flows that fund payroll across 130 countries and 60+ currencies so that every funding cycle clears accurately and on time.
Improve cross-border payment infrastructure including routing, settlement timing, provider mix, and payment rails such as SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, Faster Payments, and BACS.
Evaluate and pilot newer payment rails including stablecoin and crypto settlement, where they cut cost or speed delivery for clients, subject to legal and compliance review.
Own rolling 90/180-day cash forecasting that factors in AR collections, client funding timing, and operating burn, with scenario planning to avoid liquidity gaps.
Manage investment of operating and client cash through a managed portfolio balancing yield, safety, and liquidity.
Understand financial reporting and own the treasury-related income statement line items (interest income, FX gains and losses, bank fees), with accountability for the related balance sheet positions.
Own FX execution and hedging across all operating currencies, and keep spread costs and FX losses down through active provider management.
Negotiate and benchmark FX and banking rates on an ongoing basis, keeping providers in competition to protect margin.
Own primary banking relationships and the global account structure across 20+ banking partners and 150+ accounts; consolidate accounts and improve bank fees, earnings credits, and interest on idle balances.
Source and build banking partnerships that scale with the business and hold up in a future transaction or diligence process.
Own the control environment for money movement: signatory governance, maker-checker discipline, account segregation, and transaction limits.
Run fraud-prevention controls for company and client funds, including separating primary cash from operating accounts and capping exposed accounts.
Keep KYC and audit work on a forward calendar rather than reactive, and ensure controls satisfy SOX and external audit and risk committee review.
Own treasury's AI and automation roadmap and cut the manual work the function carries today, without giving up accuracy or control.
Target the highest-value use cases (forecasting, reconciliation, anomaly and fraud detection, reporting) and work with Finance Operations and Engineering to ship them.
Raise the team's AI fluency and show what a modern treasury operation can run on.
Lead, develop, and retain a treasury team of four, and set its priorities.
Partner across Finance, Legal, Product, Revenue and Operations on cross-functional work, including ERP (NetSuite) and payments infrastructure.
Provide strategic value to the executive leadership team and board, and act as a key interface with investors.
Support Revenue through RFP responses, customer and prospect calls, and strategic review of the financial risk of prospects and customers.
Own and maintain the department's policies, SOPs, and playbooks.
