• Align Treasury, Finance, Technology, brands, BHI stakeholders, and external partners around clear outcomes, accountability, and enterprise trade-offs.
• Build a high-performing leadership and delivery organization through effective delegation, talent development, succession planning, and disciplined operating cadence.

Required Qualifications

• Significant leadership experience in Treasury systems, financial systems, enterprise applications, or a closely related platform and transformation organization.
• Deep Treasury business acumen, including treasury operating processes, controls, reporting, banking connectivity, payments infrastructure, and Treasury Management Systems.
• Proven experience owning or leading multi-year, cross-functional transformation portfolios involving Finance, Treasury, Technology, and senior business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated experience establishing strategy, target operating models, portfolio governance, prioritization mechanisms, decision rights, and investment trade-offs.
• Experience leading through managers, senior leaders, and matrixed teams in a global, multi-location organization.
• Experience managing implementation partners, technology vendors, and/or banking service providers with accountability for outcomes and service quality.
• Strong judgment and experience operating in environments with complex financial, control, regulatory, audit, or policy requirements.
• Excellent executive communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to simplify complexity, challenge assumptions, influence without authority, and move senior leaders toward decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, organizational change, large-scale implementation, stabilization, and continuous improvement.
• Strong financial, analytical, risk-management, and problem-solving capability, with disciplined follow-through.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with FIS Quantum, FIS Payment Hub, or comparable Treasury Management and payment platforms.
