  • Analyze, monitor, and report on financial matters such as debt management (commercial paper, bond issues, short-term financing, and other borrowing structures), cost containment and avoidance, lease/purchase evaluations, and fuel hedging strategies. Work with financial advisors to evaluate proposals from investment bankers regarding bond refinancing, financial derivative products, and innovative financing techniques, making recommendations to management.
  • Collaborate with the Cash Management Manager to monitor the Authority's daily cash position, manage cash balances at financial institutions, and oversee short-term investments in accordance with the MARTA Act, Georgia Code, and Investment Guidelines. Ensure excess cash is temporarily invested in short-term, liquid instruments until it can be reinvested for higher returns or utilized for operational or capital project expenditures with minimal risk to principal.
  • Engage in special studies with diverse scopes, such as the comprehensive development of highly technical Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for financial derivative transactions and subsequent management of the RFP process, analyzing the Authority's fuel procurement strategies, contracts, and processes.
