Symetra has an exciting opportunity to join us as a Treasury Director!
About the role
As the Treasury Director, you will lead Symetra’s enterprise treasury operations and shape our cash and liquidity strategy. You’ll oversee cash management, liquidity planning, banking relationships, and key treasury processes while partnering closely with internal teams and external banking institutions.
You’ll guide a high‑performing team and drive transformation across our treasury function—modernizing systems, strengthening controls, and elevating strategic decision‑making. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a regulated life‑insurance environment while supporting Symetra’s financial strength and long‑term success.
What you will do
- Lead end‑to‑end treasury operations—including cash forecasting and positioning, bank administration, payment processing, unclaimed property, cash accounting, and reporting—while ensuring strong internal controls, regulatory compliance, and effective treasury policies and operational frameworks.
- Develop and lead a high‑performing treasury team, setting goals, managing performance, and fostering a collaborative, service‑oriented culture that balances daily deliverables with project work and continuous improvement.
- Lead treasury transformation and operational improvement initiatives, including system implementations, banking technology enhancements, requirements definition, vendor selection, testing, and post‑implementation stabilization, while partnering cross‑functionally with IT, Finance, external vendors, and banking partners to deliver successful outcomes.
- Advance future‑state treasury capabilities through data‑driven insights, including researching new technologies and standards, defining and monitoring critical metrics, identifying operational inefficiencies or control gaps, and driving continuous improvement across treasury operations.
- Serve as Symetra’s primary banking relationship owner, building and maintaining strong partnerships while acting as the enterprise-wide expert on cash, liquidity, and treasury matters.
- Provide strategic cash and liquidity leadership, partnering with senior leaders, Actuarial, and Symetra Investment Management (SIM) on forecasting and enterprise liquidity planning, while maintaining accountability for cash forecasting and related insights.
