We are seeking a Senior Treasury Analyst to support the Company’s global financial risk management and corporate finance activities, with primary responsibility for developing and executing foreign exchange hedging programs. The role requires deep finance and accounting knowledge to identify and quantify financial exposures, evaluate hedging strategies, execute hedging and spot transactions, assess hedge accounting implications, and support insurance, corporate finance, capital markets, and other treasury projects. This role reports to the Treasury Director, Corporate Finance and Global Credit.
How You Will Contribute:
- Manage financial risk: Identify, quantify, monitor, and report financial risks, with an emphasis on balance-sheet and cash-flow foreign exchange exposures across global operations.
- Develop and execute FX hedging programs: Develop hedging strategies and execute foreign exchange forward, spot, and other approved transactions with global banks through electronic platforms and the treasury management system.
- Prepare risk and hedge reporting: Report foreign exchange mark-to-market and counterparty-risk exposures, prepare hedge documentation, and analyze hedge effectiveness.
- Provide corporate finance analysis: Provide project-based financial analysis supporting capital structure and corporate financing decisions.
- Assist with capital markets transactions: Support debt financing and other capital markets activities through financial analysis, transaction execution support, coordination with banks and internal stakeholders, preparation of materials, and completion of related documentation.
- Support global insurance activities: Assist with global insurance placements, quantify insurance-risk exposures, process applications and claims, and support relationships with insurance brokers.
- Coordinate treasury operations: Coordinate with other treasury operational areas, including cash management and cash investments.
- Support compliance and controls: Assist with applicable global banking regulatory compliance, internal SOX processes, and treasury policy compliance.
The Must Haves:
- 4 or more years of relevant experience in corporate treasury, financial risk management, banking, capital markets, financial accounting, or a related field.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline.
- Deep knowledge of corporate finance and accounting principles, including financial statements, cash flows, foreign currency transactions, and the financial-statement impact of treasury activities.
- Strong technical knowledge of foreign exchange markets, derivative instruments, exposure measurement, hedging strategies, mark-to-market valuation, and hedge effectiveness.
- Experience with preparing or supporting hedge accounting documentation and related accounting analysis.
- Advanced analytical and financial-modeling skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and communicate conclusions clearly; Microsoft Excel Macro or Microsoft Copilot skills are a plus.
- Experience with treasury management systems, electronic trading platforms, ERP systems, or market-data tools; Bloomberg skills are a plus.

The individual should be intellectually curious, highly analytical, and detail-oriented, with the judgment to evaluate complex exposures and transactions independently.

Programming or data-automation skills and experience with Oracle, Bloomberg, Kyriba, or another treasury management system are a plus.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Risk Management Analyst
Frame your degree field precisely
USCIS evaluates whether your specific degree directly relates to risk management functions. A finance or statistics degree maps cleanly. An unrelated degree requires a detailed equivalency argument from your employer's attorney before the I-129 is filed.
Check LCA filings before applying
Use the OFLC Wage Search to confirm an employer has filed Labor Condition Applications for Risk Management Analyst roles before you apply. Employers without recent LCA history often lack the internal process to sponsor, regardless of intent.
Target E-Verify enrolled employers early
STEM OPT doesn't apply here, but E-Verify enrollment signals an employer's comfort with work-authorization compliance. Risk-averse financial institutions that are already enrolled tend to move faster through the H-1B filing process.
Use Migrate Mate to filter by sponsorship history
Search Risk Management Analyst roles on Migrate Mate to see which employers have active H-1B filing records by occupation code. This lets you skip outreach to companies that have never sponsored this specific role type.
Get the prevailing wage level confirmed before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify your salary at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your level and location. Look up the wage levels for SOC code 13-2099 using the OFLC Wage Search so you know the floor before any offer conversation.
Build your case around O*NET job zone requirements
Risk Management Analyst sits in O*NET Job Zone 4, which supports the specialty occupation argument. Ask your employer's attorney to reference the O*NET profile explicitly when documenting the degree requirement in the H-1B petition.
H-1B Visa Risk Management Analyst: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Risk Management Analyst role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. Risk Management Analyst roles qualify because they typically require at least a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, statistics, mathematics, or a closely related quantitative field. USCIS evaluates whether the specific duties, not just the job title, require that level of specialized knowledge. A role focused on model validation, credit risk, or regulatory compliance is easier to qualify than a generalist analyst position.
Which types of employers sponsor H-1B visas for Risk Management Analysts?
Banks, insurance carriers, investment management firms, and management consulting companies are the most consistent H-1B sponsors for this role. Regulatory pressure on financial institutions creates ongoing demand for risk talent, which translates into more frequent sponsorship. You can find employers with verified H-1B filing history for this occupation on Migrate Mate rather than guessing from job postings alone.
How does the H-1B prevailing wage requirement affect Risk Management Analyst offers?
Your employer's Labor Condition Application must certify your salary at or above the DOL prevailing wage for Risk Management Analyst in your work location, mapped to one of four wage levels based on experience and responsibility. Level I covers entry-level roles; Level III and IV apply to senior or lead positions. You can verify the applicable wage tier using the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Risk Management Analyst role without restarting the process?
Yes, H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer once the transfer petition is filed, without waiting for approval, as long as your prior H-1B was approved and you've maintained lawful status. The new employer must file a fresh I-129 with a new LCA reflecting the new role and location. The specialty occupation requirement applies again, so the new job duties still need to support the H-1B classification.
Does the type of risk management specialty affect H-1B eligibility or approval odds?
It can. Credit risk, market risk, and quantitative risk roles with clear degree requirements in finance or mathematics are straightforward to document as specialty occupations. Operational risk and enterprise risk management roles are sometimes broader in scope, which means the employer's attorney needs to tie specific duties back to a directly related degree field. USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence if the connection between the degree and the duties isn't explicit in the petition.
