Head of Treasury

Overview

The Treasurer will lead the firm's Treasury and Financing function, with accountability for its strategy, execution, day-to-day management, and overall direction. This senior leadership role requires deep expertise in broker-dealer financing - including A-6, JBO and self-clearing structures, a strong understanding of risk-based haircut (RBH) financing, enhanced financing and swaps.  The Treasurer should have experience partnering with prime brokers and clearing firms, optimizing liquidity, funding, collateral, and capital management across sophisticated trading and financial-markets businesses.   As the firm’s senior financing expert, the Treasurer will bring a commercial and strategic perspective to how GTS funds its businesses, deploys capital, manages liquidity, and develops relationships with banks, prime brokers, clearing firms, and other financing counterparties. GTS has an expectation that Senior Leaders operate as player | coaches. The successful candidate must be both a strategic leader and a hands-on practitioner: someone who can define the future-state vision, translate it into an executable plan, and be held accountable ensuring success of the plan.  This is not an oversight-only role; the Treasurer will be expected to drive change, execute, take ownership of outcomes, solve problems directly, and ensure the function delivers consistently. The Treasurer will also modernize the function through technology, automation, data, analytics, and artificial intelligence - creating a scalable, sophisticated, and forward-looking Treasury organization.
