Treasury Managers Are On The Rise & Why Specialized Recruitment Is Key

Recently, LinkedIn data caught my eye: in the U.S., Treasury Manager is among the top 25 fastest-growing roles on the Jobs on the Rise list. In Europe (particularly in Sweden and Switzerland) it’s also a top pick. This is not just a passing trend; treasury is gaining strategic importance, increasing the demand for specialized treasury recruiters for hiring these roles. This trend can be ascribed to several reasons:

  • Economic uncertainty – This remains a major concern in 2025, and experts are needed in crisis and risk management.
  • Digital transformation – Technical developments are accelerating (AI and automation for example)
  • Regulatory complexity – Upcoming changes across technology, data risks, investor protections, risk management and more.
  • Strategic elevation of treasury – Treasurers are taking on more strategic responsibilities and acting as advisors.

The Value of Specialized Treasury Recruiters

As the demand for Treasury managers continues to rise, the need for specialized treasury recruiters is higher than ever. These bring in-depth knowledge of the field. For instance, we explain in our blog  “Treasury Recruitment: Outsource for Efficiency and Savings” that working with recruiters who focus solely on treasury provides distinct benefits:

  • Reduced time to fill
  • Higher Quality Hires
  • Lower Employee Turnover
  • Cost Savings compared to In-House Recruitment

At Treasurer Search, we are committed to being your long-term partner in identifying the best talent for your treasury team. Our aim is not just to fill a role, but we strive to build lasting, meaningful relationships that help your business thrive over time.
