Perplexity AI is seeking a Global Treasury Manager to build and own the foundational treasury function as the company scales. This is a hands-on role that bridges Accounting and Strategic Finance, reporting directly to the VP of Strategic Finance.
You will own day-to-day cash positioning across operating accounts and entities, maintaining rolling cash forecasts and managing bank account administration globally. Responsibilities include overseeing payment controls with proper approval workflows and segregation of duties, managing the company's investment portfolio (money market funds, bank deposits, separately managed accounts), and designing an in-house investment and hedging program including direct fixed income and compute price hedging.
Key responsibilities also encompass developing management reporting on portfolio performance and policy compliance for leadership and the board, monitoring FX exposure from international entities and vendors, and supporting hedging analysis and execution. You will automate repeatable treasury work using AI and workflow tools while maintaining rigorous controls over money movement. Additional duties include preparing FBAR filings, managing letters of credit and bank guarantees, and supporting audit requests.
This is a foundational role where you will build the function from the ground up rather than inherit an existing one. The company commits significant capital to compute and infrastructure, making this a high-impact position within a rapidly growing AI company.
Qualifications:
- 4-7 years in corporate treasury, cash management, banking, audit, or strategic finance (high-growth technology or startup experience preferred)
- Experience developing and managing an in-house investment program and market hedging
- Working knowledge of cash forecasting, bank operations, payment rails, and short-duration fixed income
- Strong controls mindset and attention to detail; accuracy in money movement is non-negotiable
- Clear written communication, sound escalation judgment, and ability to build processes from scratch
- Nice to have: FX hedging, treasury management systems, debt or credit facilities, IPO and SOX readiness, or progress toward CTP, CFA, or CPA certifications
