We're a team of 170+ across 26 states and 7 countries, headquartered in New York City. Lithic's Treasury Operations team owns the movement of money across our card issuing infrastructure — network settlement, sponsor bank transfers, and the reconciliation that keeps it all provable. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who wants to learn the inner workings of payments and fintech infrastructure, not just observe them from a reporting layer. You'll be running a critical, time-sensitive engine every day — and at the same time, working alongside the Head of Treasury Operations to improve how that engine works as the function scales. You’ll also work cross-functionally across a wide range of teams (Finance, Treasury Engineering, Risk, Analytics, Processing, Customer Success, Bank Operations) — this role sits at the center of a lot of different workflows, not off in a silo. What you'll do: Execution (50%) - Own day-to-day execution of network settlement transfers (Mastercard, Visa) and related treasury transfers across sponsor banks - Operate in a time-sensitive environment where errors or delays have immediate downstream consequences - Support reconciliation and ensure transfers tie out against expected activity - Be a reliable, detail-oriented operator of an existing process — accuracy and consistency matter as much as speed Process Optimization (20%) - Take existing workflows and make them better: fewer manual steps, stronger controls, cleaner audit trails - Identify friction or risk in current processes and propose (and build) improvements - Balance improvement work against the need for strong financial controls — nothing gets streamlined at the expense of auditability Project Support (30%) - Support the Head of Treasury Operations on larger initiatives as the function scales - Contribute analysis, documentation, and execution support to new treasury infrastructure, reporting, or process builds Ongoing - Run ad hoc data analysis (SQL, Excel) to answer operational and financial questions on the fly - Support downstream audit and reporting needs tied to settlement and reconciliation activity - Be available outside normal business hours in rare emergency situations (e.g., a failed settlement or bank-side issue) What you'll learn: This role is a front-row seat to the nuts and bolts of card issuing and payments infrastructure — network settlement mechanics, sponsor bank relationships, and the guts of how money actually moves through a modern fintech stack. You'll come out of this role with a depth of operational fintech knowledge that's hard to get anywhere else. What you'll bring: - 2–4 years of relevant experience in treasury operations, funds transfer/money movement operations, cash management, or a closely adjacent operational finance role - Experience with reconciliation and financial controls — you understand why the numbers need to tie out, not just how to make them tie out - Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills, including comfort with (or willingness to learn) Google Apps Script for automating recurring workflows - SQL proficiency for querying and validating data (we use Snowflake and Metabase); Python or other scripting is a plus, not a requirement - Working comprehension of accounting concepts and financial operations / money movement (ACH, wires, card settlement, or similar) — you should be knowledgeable about how transfers and reconciliation tie back to the books - Familiarity with Jira and Slack, or similar ticketing and collaboration tools, for tracking progress and coordinating across teams - Comfort shifting flexibly between fixed process workflows and operating in an agile enrivonment (sprints, tickets, iterative process improvement) - Interest in operating in a fast-moving startup/fintech environment — this isn't a traditional back-office treasury seat The annual US salary range for this role is $80,000 - $110,000 plus equity. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Lithic and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.
