Treasury Manager

The problem.

Capital held at a venue is capital exposed to that venue. Capital held away from a venue cannot trade. The distance between those two facts is a continuous decision, made under uncertainty about counterparties. It is one of the few decisions here that can end the firm on its own.

What you would do.

• Own the allocation of capital across venues and custody, with an explicit view of the counterparty exposure each allocation creates.
• Set and maintain the buffers: how much is available to move, how fast, and through which route.
• Own banking and custody relationships, including the diligence they require of us.
• Build and rehearse the contingency: what we do if a venue suspends withdrawals, and in what order.
• Report the picture to the principal in a form that supports a decision within the hour.

What we would want evidence of.

• You have managed counterparty exposure where a counterparty actually failed, or you have planned seriously for it.
• You can hold a live view of where everything is and how long it takes to move.
• You have negotiated a banking or custody relationship for a business the bank found unusual.
• You have rehearsed a contingency rather than written one.
• You are conservative in a way you can justify quantitatively.

What would make this a bad fit.

There is no treasury function to inherit. The first version of everything here is yours.

This role is a poor fit if the counterparty risk in this market makes you uncomfortable in principle. That discomfort is correct. This is still not the right role for you.
