Senior Treasury Operations Manager

Senior Treasury Operations Manager

United Therapeutics seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter's pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant.

The Senior Treasury Operations Manager serves as a subject-matter expert and strategic resource within the Treasury function. This role combines deep hands-on ownership of treasury operations with high-impact analytical and modeling responsibilities — including investment portfolio analytics, financial risk management, working capital analytics and treasury performance reporting. The Senior Treasury Operations Manager brings wide-ranging expertise in treasury, accounting, and quantitative finance, working independently to resolve complex, non-precedented problems with minimal supervision. This role serves as the "go-to" expert within the Treasury function, influences strategy, and leads initiatives that advance Treasury from a primarily operational function to a strategic finance partner. The role requires an exceptional ability to build, own, and continuously improve quantitative models, interpret complex data sets, and communicate actionable insights to senior leadership.

Monitor short-term investment strategies across external managers and deposit accounts with a focus on principal protection, liquidity, and yield within established investment policy guidelines. Perform quantitative analysis of portfolio yield, duration, credit quality, and counterparty exposure, and develop recommendations for repositioning and for investment policy enhancements within approved parameters. Prepare and maintain monthly and quarterly investment control reports, including NAV validation, fair market value reconciliation to Refinitiv or FACTSET, impairment assessments, and 1940 Act compliance calculations. Maintain short- and long-term cash flow forecasts incorporating inputs from FP&A, Tax, Accounting, and AP, and perform variance analysis comparing forecasted results to actual outcomes for distribution to senior leadership. Partner with FP&A and Accounting to support fair value assessment, classification, and disclosure of investments for GAAP and SEC reporting including 10-Q and 10-K tie-outs and footnote support. Ensure strong internal controls aligned with SOX requirements; coordinate SOC 1 report reviews, segregation of duties assessments, and internal and external audit support. Coordinate quarterly debt compliance certification activities, share-based program support, and monitoring of revolving credit facility covenant calculations. Support financial risk management activities related to interest rate sensitivity, counterparty/credit risk exposure, and liquidity risk through data analysis, monitoring, and reporting to senior leadership. Develop and maintain liquidity stress-testing models and contingency funding plans, including defined escalation protocols and liquidity backstops; deliver scenario analyses to inform investment policy updates, debt structure decisions, and capital return programs. Provide technical guidance and day-to-day support to Treasury team members and assist with responses to external auditor and audit-related requests. Collaborate closely with Accounting, FP&A, Tax, Legal, and AP teams and support relationships with banking partners, investment managers, and auditors to ensure timely execution of treasury activities.
