Lead, Financial Operations

Lead, Financial Operations

Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It's hard to believe that it's 2025 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We're here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense. After deliberately keeping a stealth profile as we built up unprecedented investor support and an enthusiastic user base, we are looking for motivated individuals to help us keep our mission growing. Will you be a part of the team?

About the Role

The Treasury team develops and implements strategies to efficiently operate our business, which pays over $1 billion in customer rents each month—one of Flex's most critical functions. As part of this team, this role offers an opportunity to learn Finance, Treasury, and Risk principles, with an initial focus on financial operations such as tracking and validating payments, conducting human review for fraud detection, and reconciling data systems with bank ledgers. Additionally, the ideal candidate will be extremely detail-oriented and possess strong interpersonal skills.

This is a hybrid position with on-site expectations of 3 days per week in either our NYC Headquarters or our satellite SF office. For candidates outside of those areas, you may be eligible for our relocation assistance program.

What You'll Do

1. Execute daily treasury operations, from processing customer collections to monitoring cash activity across multiple accounts.
2. Drive the daily reconciliation process for all funds movements, proactively identifying and escalating any discrepancies.
3. Daily processing and review of incoming NACHA files for transactions related to rent payment on behalf of customers
4. Work closely with the Engineering and Product teams to onboard new products and continuously improve cash controls and reconciliation processes.
5. Support the operationalization of new product fund flows, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth implementation.
6. Maintain a robust cash controls environment by adhering to established policies and procedures.
7. Partner with the Capital Markets team to ensure seamless and adequate funding for daily operations.
8. Assist with daily cash reporting and help monitor liquidity to prevent business disruptions.
9. Support ongoing banking relationships by preparing reports, data, and presentations.

Key Qualifications

• 2+ years of relevant industry experience at a financial institution with a complex Treasury operation.
• 1-2 days per month of weekend availability required.
• Broad understanding of treasury operations, cash controls, reconciliation reporting and capital markets.
• Strong experience with Excel and SQL/Tableau is a plus.
• BA/BS degree in a quantitative discipline or equivalent work experience; MBA or CFA is a plus

The compensation range for this role will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and Flex's internal leveling guidelines and benchmarks.
