About the Job:

We are a physical goods business, which means cash management is the operational heartbeat of the company. On top of that, being bootstrapped means cash plays an even bigger role in our strategy. Our Treasury Manager will own the full cash picture: understanding when sales turn into cash, how inventory buys affect our liquidity and translating all of it into a forward-looking view that gives leadership real decision-making confidence.

This is a build role. We have almost no treasury infrastructure today, so your first 90 days will be spent creating the systems, processes, and models from scratch. If that energizes you, read on.

Responsibilities:

Cash Flow Forecasting & Modeling

Own and continuously refine the company's 13 week cash flow model to within 95% accuracy–this is your primary deliverable

Synthesize the inventory purchase calendar, PO commitment schedule, payroll cadence, tax schedule and all other inflows and outflows into a forward-looking cash needs picture

Translate model outputs into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership–you're not just a modeler, you're the person who explains what the numbers mean and what we should do about them

Maintain daily cash positioning and monitor actual vs. forecast, tightening the model over time based on variances

Cross-Functional Partnership

Work closely with our finance and operations teams to ensure cash flow inputs are accurate and timely

Partner with the procurement and ops teams to stay ahead of inventory purchase cycles and PO commitments

Collaborate with accounting to align on tax payment timing, accruals, and reconciliations

Be the connective tissue between functions

Banking & Liquidity Management

Manage day-to-day banking relationships and ensure adequate liquidity across accounts

Execute and authorize wires, ACH payments, and other treasury transactions with precision and appropriate controls

Monitor credit facilities and report on covenant compliance

Optimize idle cash–know when to sweep, when to hold, and when to draw

Controls, Process & Documentation

Design and implement treasury policies, procedures, and internal controls from the ground up

Maintain meticulous documentation for all treasury transactions, approvals, and decisions

Ensure compliance with applicable regulations, tax payment requirements, and audit standards

Proactively Identify process gaps and close them

Risk Management

Identify and flag cash flow risks proactively

Manage basic FX exposure relevant to our business through a practical hedging strategy

Support insurance and counterparty risk monitoring

Requirements

You Have:

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field

5-8 years of treasury or finance experience, with meaningful time inside a physical-goods or inventory-driven business (retail, CPG, manufacturing, distribution, or similar)

Advanced Excel / Google Sheets modeling skills; experience with NetSuite a plus

Hands-on experience owning or co-owning a cash flow model. You've run it under pressure, explained it to a CFO, and improved it based on real outcomes

Demonstrated ability to work across functions (ops, procurement, accounting) to pull the inputs you need

Deep comfort with banking operations: wires, ACH, account management, online banking platforms

Experience building or significantly improving financial processes, not just operating inside established ones

You Are:

A strong communicator: able to translate a complex cash model into a clear two-minute update for a busy executive

Trustworthy and discreet: you will have access to sensitive financial information and you understand what that means

Process-oriented and detail-obsessed: reconciliation and documentation are not overhead for you, they are how you operate

Comfortable owning a decision and defending your analysis: you don't hedge everything

Energized by ambiguity and blank-sheet-of-paper problems: you see building as an opportunity, not a burden

Benefits

Our competitive compensation package includes:

Competitive Salary + Equity Package

401K matching

Wellness, learning, and home-office budgets

Health, Dental & Vision Medical Plans

Tremendous autonomy to set the direction of your work

Unlimited PTO
