Associate Director - Treasury Architecture

About Our Client

My client is a specialist treasury advisory firm working at the intersection of technology and transformation. They've carved out a strong reputation for shaping future-ready treasury functions, not just by advising, but by rolling up their sleeves and delivering. Their clients include major global corporates tackling complex challenges across treasury architecture, systems design, and large-scale programme delivery.

This particular role sits in the Treasury Architecture function, the team that connects the strategic vision with the technical execution. It's a group that's grown and is growing in stature alongside the firm, known for bringing clarity to complicated systems landscapes and making delivery feel seamless in even the most intricate treasury environments.

Job Description

This is more than just a systems role, it's about being at the heart of transformation. The newly formed opportunity as an Associate Director of Treasury Architecture, will see you bridging the gap between treasury operations and technology design, helping clients navigate large-scale systems change. You'll bring leadership to TMS architecture and delivery, working across internal teams and directly with clients to steer major projects from blueprint to build.

You'll be hands-on with solution design, delivery frameworks, integration strategies, and cross-stream programme management. But more than that, you'll be a trusted advisor, someone clients rely on for clarity, direction, and real-world treasury insight.

• Act as the go-to architecture lead and delivery partner across treasury systems projects
• Shape integration strategies and systems design for payment and treasury platforms
• Lead project planning and delivery tracking, from RAID logs to stakeholder updates
• Offer structured guidance to clients on roadmap decisions and implementation paths
• Collaborate closely with Global Delivery Services and Treasury Consulting teams to ensure smooth execution
• Validate technical designs and troubleshoot delivery challenges as they arise
• Support project scoping and proposals with architectural insight during pre-sales
• Contribute to internal tools, frameworks, and knowledge-sharing initiatives that raise the bar internally and externally
• Help embed the firm's unique delivery model across projects and teams

The Successful Applicant

You'll likely be a seasoned treasury technology or transformation consultant or have been involved at the Treasury Manager level within a current corporate and taken the lead on a TMS implementation or two. You want to be just as comfortable in front of a client as you are mapping out system flows. You thrive in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments and are someone who's earned their stripes leading complex treasury change.

What you'll bring :

• 5+ years' experience in TMS implementation or transformation (FIS Integrity & Quantum preferable)
• A deep understanding of TMS, payment systems, and how they connect into wider finance architecture
• Hands-on project delivery experience, ideally across multiple workstreams or global programmes
• A sharp eye for risk, a steady hand for delivery, and the confidence to keep stakeholders aligned
• Strong communication skills, written, verbal, and in a boardroom
• A good handle on project management tools and methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid etc.)
• Comfortable working globally, this is a role with international exposure and occasional travel

What's on Offer

What's on Offer

• A senior role in a fast-growing, globally respected treasury consultancy
• Exposure to enterprise-level transformation projects across a range of industries
• A hybrid working model, with a base in London and the flexibility to travel when needed
• A chance to influence not just delivery outcomes, but internal innovation and best practice
• A salary in the £75,000 to £85,000 range with additional benefits, aligned to the experience and value this level brings
• A collaborative, agile culture where curiosity, clarity, and delivery excellence are genuinely rewarded
