Onsite in Houston, this Treasury and Finance Operations Analyst position offers a stable, hands-on role at the operational core of the finance function. You will oversee daily treasury activities, cash management, and finance operations across a multi-entity real estate portfolio, ensuring funds stay accurate and compliant. Expect frequent interaction with leadership, banking partners, and an offshore accounting team as you help keep payables, funding, and reporting running smoothly.
Role overview
The analyst will own the day-to-day treasury, cash, and finance operations across multiple entities.

You will serve as the operational backbone for cash accuracy, timely payments, entity compliance, and consistent reporting for leadership and stakeholders.
