The Federal Reserve Bank of New York seeks an enterprise leader to serve as the Head of Treasury Debt Financing (TDF) —a critical function that executes Treasury auctions and settlement activities as fiscal agent to the U.S. Treasury Department. Reporting directly to the Head of the Markets Group, you will lead a team stewarding one of the most vital operational relationships in the U.S. financial system by leading the execution of Treasury auctions and all auction settlement activities, including delivering analytical support, as fiscal agent to the U.S. Treasury Department.

• Collaborate closely with the Treasury and Bureau of the Fiscal Service leadership to influence strategic decision-making for the business line that considers market developments, evolving financing needs, customers, and overall business risk profile. 

• Serve as the primary strategic liaison between the Federal Reserve System Treasury Support (TRSO), the Board, and cross-functional business lines across Markets and the FRBNY, driving proactive collaboration to assess, forecast, and communicate the fiscal impact and overall scope of emerging Treasury initiatives that shape organizational priorities.
