01
What does this hire really come down to?
This hire hinges on someone who owns the cash cycle and debt compliance. You need a person who manages banking portals and treasury configurations directly. They must translate daily cash volatility into projections for leadership.
They should handle bank relationship maintenance, including covenant compliance tracking and managing FX or interest rate hedging. Ask them to describe a specific time they resolved a banking error or payment control failure. Question their experience in building or rebuilding a 13-week forecast model from raw data sources.
Assess their comfort level with system integrations. Ask how they audit TMS data to confirm accuracy between banking outputs and internal accounting records. They must explain exactly how they manage signatories and bank account structures to keep controls tight.
Start your scoping session by defining the exact source of your cash reporting data. Ask the candidate to explain their process for reconciling automated TMS daily outputs against bank statements. If they describe a manual reconciliation as standard practice, dig into why they avoid system-level matching. You need evidence of their handling of specific banking protocols. Ask them how they handle non-standard payment exceptions or urgent liquidity needs when banking portals are down or under maintenance. Press them on their specific role in debt covenant calculations. Do they pull the numbers, or do they build the logic for the compliance dashboard? If they cannot explain the impact of interest rate movements on your specific debt structure, they lack the necessary depth. Ask for a walkthrough of a bank account structure audit they personally initiated. If they describe it as a static process, they do not understand the dynamic risk of unauthorized signatory access. Challenge them on their strategy for integrating a new treasury software module into an existing ERP environment. Look for a balance between data integrity and speed. They must prove they can manage bank fee analysis without needing outside consultants. Focus your inquiry on how they document treasury controls for internal or external audit scrutiny. If they focus on theory rather than their own actual document trail, stop the interview. You are looking for a practitioner who treats audit readiness as a byproduct of their daily work. Ask if they prefer a centralized or decentralized approach to cash management and why their experience suggests one is superior for your current debt profile.
02
What do we check before you see anyone?
We verify current CTP or CFA status to check for a baseline understanding of treasury mechanics. We review their history with treasury management software like Kyriba, GTreasury, or Trovata to match your infrastructure. We confirm they have managed debt covenants in a live environment to avoid training them on compliance reporting. We validate their background in managing bank portals and payment control systems. We check if they have executed hedging strategies for FX or interest rate risk. We confirm they have held responsibility for daily cash positioning and liquidity reporting.
03
Where do we find them?
We target treasury professionals in similar sized enterprises with complex bank account structures and active debt portfolios. We look at candidates in industries with high transaction volume where liquidity management is a daily survival function. We identify people currently acting as second-in-command in treasury departments who are blocked by tenured leadership.
Candidates move when their current firm migrates to a new ERP or TMS and they are sidelined during the implementation. Others move when the treasury function is centralized and their site-level control is removed. We also contact people whose firms have reached a debt maturity wall and the treasury team is being restructured or downsized.
04
Which hiring mistakes should you watch for?
- 01Hiring a candidate who only understands high-level strategy but cannot execute a daily cash position or manage a banking portal.
- 02Selecting someone who relies on manual spreadsheets for treasury operations when your firm requires full TMS automation and audit trails.
- 03Focusing on accounting experience that lacks specific treasury risk management or debt compliance exposure.
05
The search in three steps
- 01We screen candidates against your specific TMS environment and current bank relationship requirements.
- 02We introduce only those who possess relevant debt compliance experience and have successfully managed payment controls.
- 03We schedule interviews where you evaluate their technical proficiency using your actual data workflows and system challenges.
How your Senior Treasury Manager search runs
How does The Six-Step Search work?
One sequence, from a well-defined seat to a shortlist you can judge.
Search Calibration
We start with a call about the seat, the books, the owners and the people the hire will work with. We learn what the role must fix in the first year and what would make a candidate wrong even if the resume looks right.
You get: A written search brief: scope, must-haves, deal-breakers and the pay range, agreed with you.
Market Mapping
We map the companies and institutions where the right people already work: similar size, similar ownership, similar complexity, in your market and in others.
You get: The target list of companies and institutions we will search, reviewed with you before outreach.
Professional Contact Intelligence
We find direct ways to reach the people on the map. Most are employed and not reading job boards, so reaching them takes real research.
You get: Direct routes to people who are not on job boards, researched for your search.
Persistent Personalized Outreach
We call and write to people individually and follow up. Interest varies, so we discuss the actual opportunity rather than promising a particular response.
You get: One-to-one conversations about your actual role, followed up, never a mass email blast.
Live Candidate Qualification
We speak with every candidate before you do. We check scope, systems, reporting lines, compensation expectations, location and why they would move.
You get: Only candidates we have spoken with, checked on scope, systems, pay, location and motive.
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
You receive a short written brief on each finalist covering what they have done, where they are thin and what they want. Then we help with interviews, references and the offer.
You get: A short written brief on each finalist, plus help with interviews, references, counteroffer risk and the offer.
