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.
- Professional qualifications such as CFA, CTP, CPA, or MBA—or demonstrated progress toward one of these professional qualifications—are a plus.
Assets:
The successful candidate will combine deep finance and accounting expertise with strong technical treasury capabilities. 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 OPT Sponsorship as a Treasury Operations Analyst
Target banks and corporate treasury departments
Large financial institutions, Fortune 500 treasury teams, and regional banks file H-1B visa petitions regularly. Focus your search on employers with established international hiring patterns rather than smaller firms without prior sponsorship history.
Confirm your CIP code qualifies for STEM OPT
Finance degrees under CIP code 52.0801 and related quantitative fields typically qualify for the 24-month STEM extension. Verify your specific degree classification with your DSO before accepting an offer to protect your timeline.
Highlight systems proficiency in your application
Treasury roles run on platforms like Kyriba, SAP Treasury, and Bloomberg. Employers sponsoring visas want candidates who reduce onboarding costs, so demonstrating hands-on system experience signals immediate value and strengthens your sponsorship case.
Apply before your OPT authorization start date
Treasury operations teams plan headcount months in advance. Submitting applications six to eight weeks before your OPT start date gives employers time to process your EAD arrival and align your start date with their hiring cycle.
Frame your international background as a risk asset
Treasury teams handling cross-border settlements and FX exposure value candidates who understand multi-currency environments. Positioning your international perspective as directly relevant to the role makes sponsorship feel like a practical business decision.
Ask about sponsorship policy before the final interview round
Confirming sponsorship willingness early saves time for both sides. Raise the question after an initial screening call, not at the offer stage, so you only advance with employers who have a realistic path to H-1B sponsorship.
Treasury Operations Analyst OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Treasury Operations Analyst roles qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Many do, but eligibility depends on your specific degree's CIP code rather than the job title itself. Finance degrees classified under CIP 52.0801 and quantitative fields like applied mathematics or management information systems typically qualify. Confirm your classification with your DSO, then verify the employer is E-Verify enrolled, which is required for any STEM extension approval.
How do I find Treasury Operations Analyst jobs where employers are open to OPT sponsorship?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for OPT-friendly employers, so you can browse Treasury Operations Analyst roles without sorting through postings that exclude international candidates. This saves significant time during a period when your work authorization timeline is already tight. Employers listed have demonstrated openness to sponsoring or hiring F-1 students on OPT.
Can I work as a Treasury Operations Analyst on OPT before my EAD card arrives?
No. You cannot begin working until you have a valid EAD in hand, even if your OPT start date has passed. Apply for OPT through your DSO at least 90 days before your intended start date. USCIS processing currently runs 3 to 5 months, so planning your application timeline carefully is essential to avoid gaps between graduation and employment.
What happens to my OPT authorization if I lose my Treasury Operations Analyst job?
F-1 students on post-completion OPT are allowed a maximum of 90 days of unemployment across the entire OPT period. If you lose your position, that unemployment clock starts immediately. Notify your DSO, update your SEVIS record, and begin your job search right away. Finding a new role within the 90-day window keeps your status intact and preserves any remaining OPT time.
Does treasury operations work count as qualifying employment for OPT purposes?
Yes, provided the role is directly related to your degree field. Treasury operations work involving cash management, financial analysis, settlements, or risk monitoring qualifies for students with finance, accounting, economics, or related degrees. Part-time roles count if they are at least 20 hours per week. Your DSO must record all employment in SEVIS, so report new positions promptly after starting.
