The posting
As Scout’s Treasury Manager, you will play a key role in managing the company’s liquidity, banking relationships, financing obligations, and treasury operations across Scout’s growing portfolio of utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects. Reporting to the Vice President of Corporate Finance, you will take ownership of Scout’s day-to-day treasury activities while building the processes, controls, and reporting needed to support a growing, capital-intensive business.
You will work closely with Scout teams to anticipate funding needs, execute cash movements, administer banking and credit arrangements, and provide leadership with clear visibility into Scout’s liquidity position. You will also support project financings and other transactions by coordinating funding mechanics, closing flows, letters of credit, debt activity, and post-close treasury administration.
This role is well suited for a hands-on treasury professional who combines strong technical knowledge with sound judgment, attention to detail, and a continuous-improvement mindset. You will be expected to independently manage multiple workstreams, identify and communicate risks early, develop practical solutions, and serve as a trusted partner to internal stakeholders and Scout’s external banking partners.
