Treasury Operations Manager
The Role The Treasury Operations Manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of treasury operations while driving the continued evolution of liquidity management, payment routing, and treasury infrastructure. This role combines hands-on operational ownership with team leadership, ensuring processes are robust, scalable, and aligned to a 24/7 global payments environment.
Key Responsibilities
Daily Operations Oversee the daily operations and responsibilities of the Treasury Operations team. Act as the central point of contact for treasury-related queries across the business. Build strong working relationships with adjacent functions. Ensure the team has appropriate coverage and escalation protocols to support our 24/7 network. On-call expectations will be discussed openly during the hiring process.
Team Leadership Lead and develop the individuals within the Treasury Operations team with a clear focus on building knowledge depth and expertise. Act as a mentor, providing constructive feedback, setting individual and team targets aligned with BCB’s wider objectives, and growing team culture. Serve as the primary escalation point while developing team members to operate independently.
TMS Embedding Embed our Treasury Management System. Refine configurations, build team confidence in reporting and forecasting, close gaps between system design and operational reality, and ensure the TMS becomes the trusted foundation for liquidity management rather than sitting alongside legacy workarounds.
Liquidity and Cash Management Manage liquidity across multiple currencies, jurisdictions, legal entities, and banking partners. Ensure cash positions are accurately monitored and forecast, and that supporting processes and reports are built for scale.
Operational Efficiency Drive continuous improvements in the TMS, payment processing workflows, and cash management frameworks. A strong understanding of payment routing is critical to this role: how payments flow between banking partners, the decision logic behind route selection, and the cost and risk implications of those choices. Work with Technology and Product teams to improve routing efficiency and streamline integrations.
Safeguarding Ensure all Treasury Operations activities and processes comply with internal policies and external regulations, with a thorough understanding of safeguarding obligations. Support audit requirements by ensuring the function's process documentation is always up to date.
Skills and Experience
-
You'll bring demonstrated experience leading a Treasury Operations team in a fintech or banking environment (2-3 years), or a minimum of 5 years in a senior Treasury Operations role with clear readiness for leadership.
-
Experience inheriting and stabilizing an existing team is particularly relevant.
-
You'll have a strong understanding of end-to-end payment flows, key payment rails (FPS, SEPA, Fedwire, SWIFT), and payment routing logic, including how payments flow across banking partners and the operational, cost, and risk factors behind those decisions.
-
Familiarity with digital asset or blockchain-native payment flows is a distinct advantage, but not essential.
-
You'll have hands-on experience with Kyriba or a comparable Treasury Management System, and you are comfortable optimizing configurations, interrogating system outputs, and driving adoption and refinements within the team.
Personal Qualities
-
Technically minded and highly detail-oriented with a strong instinct for spotting risk and inefficiencies.
-
Diligent and conscientious; you excel in problem-solving and driving sustainable, long-term solutions.
-
Persistent and results-oriented, comfortable working with both front and back-office functions on issues and initiatives.
-
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a passion for mentoring, knowledge sharing, and fostering a strong team culture.

Remote · South Africa | Full-time | Senior · 7+ years | Squad of 4 engineers
Mission
OfferZen exists to help South African tech talent build an awesome future by connecting them to the right teams where they can do their best work. Our next big bet, Reduce the Noise, is all about making OfferZen the place where quality wins. It’s not a volume game, it’s a value game.
“We want to make OfferZen the place where you find the right person to hire, or where you find the right job. Not more. Better.”
You’ll be building marketplace features, AI-powered tools (internally and externally), and internal tooling that makes this vision real. Your work will be felt by real candidates and real hiring companies every day.
Outcomes
- Design, build, and ship meaningful fullstack features every week across front-end and back-end.
- Act as an AI engineer on designated projects, building AI-powered features using tools and frameworks like OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.
- Own solutions end-to-end: from design and scoping through to delivery and post-ship iteration.
- Debug production issues, maintain a stable marketplace, and advocate for quality, performance, and security.
- Lead by example in AI-enabled engineering, using tools like Cursor and V0 to move faster without cutting corners.
- Mentor junior and intermediate engineers through pairing, code review, and honest feedback.
- Participate in Frontend and Backend Guilds, contributing to our component library, architecture, and testing standards.
- Document architectural decisions so new engineers can hit the ground running.
- Contribute to the technical roadmap by spotting areas to improve and making the case for them.
Tech Stack
Ruby on Rails | React | Next.js | MongoDB | PostgreSQL | ElasticSearch | Redis | AWS
We use Ruby on Rails on the backend, but if you’re a strong JS fullstack engineer, that’s absolutely fine. We’ll give you the time and space to get up to speed on Ruby. With AI, you don’t need to be a syntax expert.
Competencies
- 7+ years of production software engineering experience.
- Strong across the full stack, with a frontend bias. You have a solid grasp of modern frontend architecture, patterns, and what it takes to build a great user experience.
- 5+ years working with React (or similar) in a production environment.
- Product-minded: you think about the customer problem, not just the implementation.
- Strong instincts around patterns, responsibility separation, data modelling, and component-oriented design.
- You write unit tests, document your decisions, and write code that others can confidently build on.
- Experience with MongoDB and/or PostgreSQL.
- High confidence, low ego. You’ll back your opinions with data, but hold them loosely.
- You communicate proactively, unblock others, and make those around you better.
AI Fluency: The 4 Ds. We expect all senior engineers to be genuine practitioners of AI-enabled engineering, not just curious about it:
- Delegation: Know which tasks AI can do better or faster, and hand them off confidently.
- Description: Write precise, effective prompts that get the output you actually need.
- Discernment: Critically evaluate AI output. Catch what’s wrong, keep what’s right.
- Diligence: Use AI responsibly, ethically, and securely every time.
Background and personality
- 7+ years experience in software development.
- Used to working in small teams.
- Good communication skills.
- Driven by learning and continuously striving towards self-improvement.
- High confidence, low ego.
- Capable of backing opinions and decisions with data.
- Driven to work hard to achieve a high level of personal execution.
- Attention to detail.
What it's like to work here
We love to do fun stuff together. We are focused on building a connected tribe and a sense of belonging. We value unique and diverse approaches and ensure we create opportunities to share and learn from each other. We have regular online events, show and tells and a book club as well as regional and annual off-site events.
We're dedicated to authenticity: We treat people as people, caring personally and speaking openly. We foster low-ego behaviour - we own our mistakes as well as our victories. We're never about blame. We're always about honesty, learning and continuous improvement. We ensure lots of transparency and visibility. From OKRs and strategy to analytics and company performance numbers, it's all available for you to see and understand.
We're passionate about learning and levelling up: Everyone at OfferZen strives for a growth mindset. We read books, listen to podcasts, share expertise obsessively, then take on hard challenges with smart guidance and support. When things go wrong, we look for the learning and how to improve.
We’re all about balance: We believe that maintaining a healthy balance between home and work is the key to feeling happier and more productive. We work fully remote and also offer 24 days of leave a year which are available to use from the time you start.
