The Treasurer (VP) is a key leadership role with significant responsibilities in Capital Markets, Cash Management and Financial Risk Management. This role will report to the Chief Financial Officer and will focus on driving financial results through developing and performing the Company’s securitization and other funding sources, including credit facilities and asset financings.
