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.

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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship as a Treasury Analyst
Target large corporations with dedicated treasury functions
Fortune 500 companies, multinational banks, and major insurance firms run structured treasury departments that regularly hire OPT students and have established H-1B sponsorship pipelines. Smaller companies often lack the legal infrastructure to sponsor.
Highlight your quantitative and systems skills upfront
Treasury roles require proficiency in Excel modeling, ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, and sometimes Bloomberg Terminal. Listing these tools explicitly in your resume signals you can contribute immediately, which matters when employers weigh sponsorship cost against productivity.
Frame your OPT timeline clearly in applications
Be upfront that you have 12 months of OPT work authorization available immediately. If your degree is STEM-eligible, mention the potential 24-month extension. Employers with H-1B experience appreciate candidates who understand their own timeline.
Pursue relevant certifications to strengthen your candidacy
The CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) designation is the industry standard. Even being enrolled in the program signals serious commitment to the field and can differentiate you from candidates without finance-specific credentials when employers weigh sponsorship decisions.
Focus your outreach on employers with prior H-1B filings for this role
Employers who have previously sponsored Treasury Analysts for H-1B visas are far more likely to do it again. DOL disclosure data and Migrate Mate filter sponsored roles so you can prioritize companies with a proven sponsorship track record.
Connect with treasury professionals at target companies
Many Treasury Analyst hires come through internal referrals. Reaching out to analysts or managers at companies you want to join, and asking specific questions about their treasury function, builds relationships that often surface unadvertised openings before they're posted.
Treasury Analyst OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a Treasury Analyst on F-1 OPT?
Yes. Treasury Analyst is a professional finance role that qualifies for F-1 OPT work authorization. Your position must be directly related to your degree field, typically finance, accounting, economics, or a related discipline. If your degree falls under a STEM-designated CIP code, you may also be eligible for a 24-month OPT extension after your initial 12 months.
Do Treasury Analyst jobs commonly offer H-1B sponsorship?
Many do, particularly at large corporations, banks, and multinational firms with established treasury departments. These employers are familiar with the H-1B process and regularly sponsor analysts. Smaller companies or startups without a legal team are less likely to sponsor. Migrate Mate filters Treasury Analyst listings by sponsorship history so you can focus on employers who have actually done it before.
Is a Treasury Analyst role STEM OPT eligible?
It depends on your specific degree's CIP code, not the job title itself. A Bachelor's in Finance under CIP 52.0801 is STEM-designated, making you eligible for the 24-month extension. A general Business Administration degree may not qualify. Check your degree's CIP code against the DHS STEM OPT Hub list, or ask your DSO to confirm eligibility before accepting an offer.
What industries hire Treasury Analysts who need OPT sponsorship?
Corporate treasury departments at Fortune 500 companies, large commercial banks, insurance firms, and asset managers are the most active hirers. Technology companies with significant international cash operations also maintain treasury teams that frequently hire and sponsor. These employers process high volumes of H-1B petitions annually and are generally comfortable extending offers to OPT candidates.
How far in advance should I start applying for Treasury Analyst roles on OPT?
Start applying three to four months before your OPT start date. Treasury roles often have structured onboarding timelines, and employers running H-1B sponsorship need lead time before the April lottery registration window. Applying early also gives you room to negotiate a start date that aligns with your authorization period. Browse current Treasury Analyst openings on Migrate Mate to gauge how competitive the market is before your OPT begins.
