CASH MANAGER JOB DESCRIPTION

A Cash Manager owns the daily and forward-looking visibility into how much money a company has, where it sits, and when it moves - a function that sits inside corporate treasury and reports upward to CFOs and senior finance leadership. Achieving that visibility requires building rolling forecast models (often 13-week and 52-week horizons), coordinating across legal entities, and maintaining banking relationships that keep payment infrastructure running. The role demands both the analytical rigor to reconcile actuals against forecasts and the organizational authority to hold department heads accountable for the numbers they contribute.

As the Cash Manager, you are accountable for the accuracy of enterprise-wide cash forecasting, daily positioning, and the internal controls that govern how funds move in and out of the organization. You will operate within the corporate treasury function, partnering with Accounting, Tax, and Legal while managing banking relationships and, in many organizations, a small team of treasury analysts.

Career Impact: Owning the 13-week and 52-week forecast cycles builds the kind of quantitative credibility in corporate treasury that supports a path toward Treasurer or VP of Finance.

Business Impact: When cash forecasts are wrong, payroll is at risk and acquisition financing stalls - this role is the reason neither happens.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to multi-entity structures, foreign currency hedging, and in-house bank operations gives Cash Managers the technical breadth to move into senior treasury or global liquidity roles.

Company Value: Treasury teams in this space consistently offer direct access to C-suite stakeholders, giving high performers visibility well beyond their immediate team.

• Daily reconciliation completion rate, tracking how consistently cash accounts balance within the business day.

• Base Salary Range: $90,000 to $130,000 depending on entity complexity and team size.
