Associate Director, Treasury & Risk Management (Clayton, MO)

Here’s What All The Hype Is About…

BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE: BRBR) is a $2 billion (revenue) publicly traded holding company and a rapidly growing leader in the global convenient nutrition category offering ready-to-drink shake and powder protein products. Our subsidiary, Premier Nutrition Company (PNC), sells the brands Premier Protein, Dymatize, and PowerBar, which is sold internationally.

BellRing Brands has a simple, yet powerful, formula for its success, which we’ve been nailing since we went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2019. We are super-intentional about designing a people-centric culture where everyone feels like they truly connect and belong. We have found that our purpose-driven, connected employees who are consistently mastering new skills and flourishing will deliver amazing business results. And winning companies with amazing people and thriving cultures attract and retain top talent, which means the cycle becomes self-reinforcing or what we call our regenerative culture.

We don’t mind sharing our secret formula since we think the world would be a better place if more workplaces treated adults like adults and gave them the platform to do the best work of their lives—alongside some truly amazing teammates. Why don’t more companies do this? Well, it takes deep-in-your-bones conviction to your people, products, and purpose to pull it off. It also takes resisting the urge to try to control people and instead trusting them to make the right decisions and by keeping time-consuming processes and rules to a minimum. Our rewards and success focus more on the We than the Me to avoid the silos that often characterize companies of our size; and we find that assuming positive intent and focusing on our shared purpose of building great brands and a great company is why people love working for us and we get so many workplace awards year after year.

We have a long list of ways we take care of our people, but here are some crowd-pleasers that our teammates often say they love most: Year-round ½ day Fridays, 6% 401k match after 1 year, all positions bonus-eligible, Costco or Sam’s membership reimbursement, monthly phone and internet reimbursements, on-site gym access, generous paid family leave regardless of gender, company-wide volunteer days, company-matched charitable donations, no employee handbook, no dress code, and coaching conversations instead of performance reviews.

BellRing Brands seeks individuals who will flourish in this type of work environment and will add to our culture and help build this high-growth company for the next phase in our amazing journey. Does this sound like you? Then read on…

The Role…

The Associate Director, Treasury & Risk Management will be an integral member of the team supporting both treasury and cash management activities, as well as risk management coordination. This role will possess exceptional analytical, organizational and communication skills - with the ability to both distill complex financial topics and drive continuous improvement. This role is based at BellRing’s office in Clayton, Missouri. Occasional travel may be required. This role will report to the Senior Director – Investor Relations & Corporate Finance.

The work environment…

So, what’s it like to work here? If you’re based in the greater St. Louis area, you’ll walk into our new, modern Clayton, Missouri headquarters each Tuesday morning and start the in-person portion of our hybrid work week at our weekly all-company meeting live-streamed along with our colleagues at our flagship subsidiary, Premier Nutrition Company, which is headquartered in Emeryville, California. During that time, we watch one of our newer teammates tell their personal life and career journey followed by short updates on any hot topics that might be relevant to the week ahead such as product news, culture events, and ringing the bell (i.e., things to celebrate).

We are a true hybrid workplace with aligned days in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. What this means in practice is you will have more flexibility and time to do focused work at the beginning and end of the workweek, and the middle portion will be filled with connecting in person for things like innovation, impromptu collaboration, having respectful challenges to get to better decisions, leadership role-modeling, and culture building. Great work cultures are built on the stories about what great looks like in practice, and, if you think about it, no one ever told a great culture-building story about something that happened off-camera on a Zoom or Teams meeting. The expected pay scale for this role is $155k to $165k, which may vary based on relevant experience, qualifications, geographic area (if applicable), and internal equity for the role.

Here’s the deal with our not-so-standard, um…standard interview process because we know you are the curious type, which is why you’re still reading this…

• Quick 30 min phone chat with a high energy member of our Talent Acquisition team to do a quick overview of your background and answer any burning questions you have
• Team interviews are kept to a minimum to foster a more efficient, candidate-friendly process (too many interviewers yields little value and drags out the process for you—and who wants that, right?):
• A short series of in-person or video interviews in a 1:1 setting; these are usually with the hiring manager, one or two other team members, and a person from another team to get broader perspectives (note: we don’t do panel interviews because they don’t give interviewers a chance to ask you unique questions, and we assign interviewers different roles so we’re probing different capabilities)
• Once your interview concludes, the team will meet for an in-depth consultative process to ensure we are hiring the right person for the right job. Interviewers must come in with a strong yes or no vote beforehand to avoid groupthink with supporting reasons. The collective thoughts on your candidacy will be discussed in an environment of safety to challenge ideas respectfully, debate, and be open to all important qualifications of the candidates. A trained, disinterested bias blocker will be present to help mitigate bias so the team can make a sound hiring decision. The moment of truth arrives when the hiring manager makes the big decision. If you nailed the interviews, guess what? The offer is all yours! And the ball is in your court. Will you accept? We sure hope so because this place is the real deal, and don’t just believe us—just ask the 93% of our people who said this is a great place to work in our most recent employee survey.
