Role overview

Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Location: Vaughan, ON (Hybrid)

Salary: $185,000 – $225,000

About the Opportunity

Our client is a large-scale, publicly listed enterprise with global manufacturing and distribution operations spanning approximately 70 countries. With a multi-billion dollar revenue base and significant operational presence across North America and internationally, this organization offers the stability of an established enterprise paired with the energy and urgency of a company in active transformation.

The treasury function is at a pivotal inflection point. The organization is investing in building a best-in-class treasury operation, strengthening internal controls, modernizing payment and FX processes, and improving cash forecasting accuracy.

Reporting to the VP, Tax and Treasury, the Director of Treasury will own global treasury operations end-to-end, lead a growing team, and play a central role in shaping the function from the ground up. This is a high-visibility role with a clear successor path to Treasurer for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

Own day-to-day global cash management, including bank positioning, liquidity monitoring, and intercompany financing across multiple jurisdictions and currencies.
Lead cash flow forecasting and working capital management, driving material improvements in forecast accuracy and real-time cash visibility.
Manage credit facility activities, covenant monitoring, and debt reporting; serve as the primary relationship manager with banking partners.
Oversee hedging administration across FX, interest rate, and commodity exposures, and partner with accounting to ensure accurate treasury-related postings and hedge accounting compliance.
Build and strengthen treasury policies, governance frameworks, and internal controls in preparation for a future public listing.
Lead the evaluation and implementation of a treasury management system, driving automation and reducing reliance on manual, spreadsheet-based processes.
Develop and mentor a team of two direct reports, with plans to expand the function as the organization scales.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A, Legal, Accounts Payable, and senior leadership on capital allocation, deal structuring, and strategic treasury initiatives.

What You Bring

Progressive treasury experience within a large, complex, multi-currency, and multi-jurisdiction organization.
Proven track record owning cash management, FX hedging, banking relationships, and covenant compliance.
Experience building or significantly modernizing a treasury function, including policy development, internal controls, and process redesign.
Exposure to IPO readiness, public company transition, or PE-backed environments considered a strong asset.
Familiarity with treasury management systems and enterprise ERP platforms; SAP experience an asset.
Strong negotiation skills, particularly in the context of banking relationships and credit facility management.
A collaborative, people-first leadership style with experience managing and developing treasury teams.
The gravitas and executive presence to represent treasury independently in senior-level discussions.
Comfort operating in a high-volume, fast-paced environment where processes are still being built and improved.
