Partner with Treasury Ops to align data outputs with accounting records and maintain reliable cash visibility

Comfort making judgment calls and documenting decisions clearly
Strong 'no surprises' communication and documentation habits
Experience improving processes, automating workflows, and supporting audits
You care deeply about the mission of direct aid and supporting anyone who needs help
