Responsibilities
Why Join Us
Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is one of the nation's largest publicly owned electric utilities, serving more than 855,000 people across 13 counties in Nebraska. Joining OPPD means joining a mission-driven organization where your work directly benefits our customers, our communities, and the future of energy in Nebraska. We are guided by strong values, a commitment to innovation, and an unwavering focus on public service.
At OPPD, you'll have the opportunity to help shape the future of the energy industry during one of the most transformational periods in our 80 year history. On a relative basis, OPPD has had more peak demand growth than Texas and California - combined. As our region experiences unprecedented growth and increasing energy demand, OPPD is making one in a generation investments in infrastructure and grid modernization to support long-term reliability and economic development in Eastern Nebraska. This is a chance to play a key leadership role in helping a financially strong, community-owned utility navigate that future.
We are committed to developing exceptional leaders who embrace collaboration, innovation, accountability, and stewardship. Our culture encourages strategic thinking, continuous improvement, and building lasting relationships - both within the organization and across the communities we serve.
The Opportunity
OPPD is seeking an accomplished and forward-thinking Director, Treasury & Financial Operations to lead the organization's treasury, capital financing, investment, and financial operations strategies during a period of historic growth and transformation. This executive leadership role partners closely with the Chief Financial Officer, senior leadership team, Board of Directors, investors, financial institutions, and rating agencies to ensure OPPD maintains exceptional financial strength while delivering on its long-term strategic objectives.
The Director will provide stewardship over approximately $8.6 billion in total assets, $6.5 billion in current and long-term debt, and total operating revenue close to $2B, while helping OPPD navigate the opportunities and challenges created by rapid load growth, evolving capital markets, and the changing energy landscape.
This role goes beyond traditional treasury management. The successful candidate will help shape enterprise-wide financial strategy, lead complex financing initiatives, maintain and strengthen investor and rating agency relationships, provide governance over retirement and investment trusts, and ensure OPPD remains well-positioned to support the region's future energy needs.
- Provide strategic leadership and foster a high-performing, people-first culture aligned with OPPD's values and mission.
- Lead OPPD's treasury and financial operations functions, including debt management, cash management, investments, liquidity planning, and financial risk management.
- Steward and strengthen the District's AA (S&P) and Aa2 (Moody's) credit ratings through disciplined financial management and proactive engagement with rating agencies and investors.
- Direct the issuance and administration of corporate debt (tax exempt and potentially taxable), evaluating traditional and emerging capital funding structures to support OPPD's long-term capital investment strategy.
- Develop and execute investor relations strategies while serving as a trusted financial representative to underwriters, investors, financial institutions, and external stakeholders.
- Oversee the responsible custody and investment of District funds to optimize returns, preserve liquidity, and protect financial assets.
- Lead corporate cash management and corporate receivables strategies.
- Chair and provide fiduciary oversight for retirement and benefit plan investment committees, including the Retirement Fund Trust, 401(k)/457 Plans, OPEB Committee, and Retirement Board.
- Represent OPPD in key financial, regulatory, and governance matters while building collaborative relationships across the organization and with external partners.
Qualifications
What We Desire in a Candidate
- Progressive leadership experience in investment banking, treasury, corporate finance, capital markets, investment management, or financial operations within a complex organization.
- Demonstrated success leading large-scale financing transactions, debt issuance programs, investor relations, and strategic financial planning.
- Experience building trusted relationships with executive leadership, Boards of Directors, rating agencies, financial institutions, and external stakeholders.
- Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
- Strong understanding of liquidity management, corporate investments, financial risk management, and governance practices.
- Outstanding communication, executive presence, and strategic thinking skills, with the ability to translate complex financial issues into actionable business decisions.
- Experience within the utility (public or private), energy, infrastructure, public finance, or similarly capital-intensive industries is strongly preferred.
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, or a related field required; advanced degree and/or professional certifications are preferred.
Additional Requirement: The successful candidate must be eligible to obtain a Nebraska Issuer/Dealer Security License within six (6) months of hire.
The Impact You'll Have
Your leadership will help shape the financial foundation that powers Nebraska's future. In this role, you will influence critical investment decisions, guide OPPD through one of the largest capital expansion periods in its history, and ensure the organization maintains the financial strength and flexibility needed to serve its customers and communities for decades to come.
You will serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership and the Board, balancing long-term strategic investment with financial stewardship, protecting OPPD's exceptional credit quality, and positioning the District to capitalize on emerging opportunities in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
Why Omaha?
Omaha consistently ranks as one of America's best cities for families and professionals, offering a vibrant arts scene, nationally recognized schools, an affordable cost of living, and a welcoming Midwestern community.
