What can you expect from this position?

The Director, Treasury, is a senior finance leadership role reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). You will be the central authority anchoring the GTAA’s enterprise funding and liquidity mandate, ensuring resilient funding for both daily operations and our multi-year capital program. This is a mandate for transformation: you will be expected to lead the shift from traditional, transactional cash management to a policy-driven, automated treasury operation. This transition will free up capacity within your team for high-value strategic insight and decision support, directly influencing the organization's credit profile and capital structure. You will manage crucial external relationships with banks, lenders, and credit rating agencies, acting as a key financial voice for the organization.                                                                                              

As Director, Treasury, you will:

• Strategically lead enterprise-wide cash management, developing and maintaining robust short- and long-term cash forecasting processes to meet all operational and capital requirements.
• Directly manage the GTAA’s entire debt portfolio, including the issuance, refinancing, and optimization of bond and loan programs. You will develop and execute capital markets strategies to ensure financial flexibility and optimize the cost of capital.
• Manage relationships with credit rating agencies, articulate the company’s financial strategy and risk profile, and implement actions necessary to maintain or enhance the company’s credit rating.
• Design, implement, and maintain treasury policies, procedures, and internal controls (including debt and investment policies) to ensure compliance, risk mitigation, and data integrity across all treasury systems and banking architecture.
• Oversee banking architecture, payment, and collection processes, and lead process automation initiatives within the Treasury function to shift the team's focus toward insight and advisory.
• Deliver forward-looking analysis and recommendations to the CFO and senior leadership on critical funding, liquidity, and capital structure decisions, ensuring transparent reporting of financial risks and opportunities.
• Coach, develop, and set standards for the Treasury team while fostering cross-functional collaboration with Controllership, Capital Planning, and Risk Management teams.

This is the role for you, if you have:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in Treasury and Capital Markets, with at least 7 years leading teams and cross-functional initiatives.
• CPA and/or CFA designation.
• Proven track record managing public debt programs and credit rating agency engagement.
• Experience in capital-intensive, regulated, or infrastructure/aviation environments.
• Advanced proficiency in liquidity and cash-flow forecasting, debt portfolio strategy, covenant management, banking architecture and controls, and treasury policy design.
• Strong financial modeling and exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Ability to obtain and retain Transportation Security Clearance.
