Treasury Systems (TMS) Manager Recruiters

Who builds the bank API connections to your ERP? Who manages the TMS configuration for cash forecasting? Who fixes the system when data pulls fail?

They oversee the bank connectivity architecture and user access controls. They translate business requirements from the treasury team into technical configurations within Kyriba, GTreasury, or Trovata. They own the upgrade cycles and integration testing during every system patch.

How do you map payment files to a new bank API connection? When a bank feed breaks, what specific logs or status codes do you check to isolate whether the error is in the middleware or the ERP? How do you audit user permission levels to verify internal controls during a software rollout?

Focus your initial scoping conversation on how they handle technical failures within the treasury stack. Do not ask about project outcomes. Ask for specific evidence of their process when a production interface between the bank portal and the ERP stops transmitting. You want to hear them detail the exact log files they check or how they verify the mapping of ISO 20022 messages against the receiving database schema. If a candidate cannot walk you through a specific debugging sequence for a failed BAI2 file import, they will struggle with the operational realities of this role. Ask them to describe a time they had to reconfigure a bank connectivity protocol because of a change in security requirements or provider standards. Press for details on how they documented the change and verified the security of the new endpoint. A strong candidate provides a clear answer regarding the trade-offs between manual intervention and automated script-based corrections. Look for signs that they consider the impact on the accounting close and cash position reporting when they initiate a system change. Many applicants focus on the tool itself, but you need someone who focuses on the flow of the data. If they talk about vendor support handling all their technical troubleshooting, they lack the hands-on control required for this role. Ask them to explain a situation where they had to audit user access permissions after a system upgrade to identify potential gaps in segregation of duties. Evaluate their response based on their technical understanding of the system architecture. A candidate who relies on external IT support for basic user management or file routing will not provide the level of oversight you need. They must demonstrate enough technical depth to manage the system environment independently while knowing when to escalate complex vendor-side issues. Confirm their capacity to translate complex regulatory requirements into functional configurations that do not hinder the daily treasury workflow.
