Director of Treasury

Director of Treasury & Collections

Are you a strong candidate who enjoys managing teams, improving processes, and driving results? Do you come from a background in banking, operations, or project management and want to step into a high-impact leadership role?

A large, mission‑driven organization in Buffalo, NY is seeking a Director of Treasury & Collections to lead a critical division responsible for managing revenue operations and collections strategy. This role offers a salary of up to $125,000 and is ideal for a hands‑on leader who can bring structure, accountability, and new ideas to an established team.

This role is best suited for someone with a background in banking, operations, or project management — not a traditional accounting role. You’ll oversee both treasury operations and collections efforts, including managing the flow of funds, tracking financial activity, and working closely with a third‑party collections agency to improve recovery of past‑due balances.

The Director will lead a team of approximately 20 employees, providing guidance, structure, and leadership while working closely with senior leadership. The ideal candidate is self‑sufficient, decisive, and able to figure things out independently, while also improving processes and driving performance across the team.
