Job Description

Role

As a core member of the Group Treasury central team, this role owns the end-to-end reliability and strategic development of the treasury infrastructure (bank connectivity, payment infrastructure, treasury systems, bank relationships). The role is accountable for enabling the treasury function to operate at the highest level of efficiency, control, and business impact across all geographies.

Responsibilities

• Own the functional roadmap of treasury systems (SIX, Cegid): prioritise enhancements, manage upgrades, and ensure the platform evolves in line with business needs
• Lead vendor relationships strategically: negotiate SLAs, challenge roadmaps, and ensure the Group extracts maximum value from its technology investments
• Define and enforce access governance: user rights, segregation of duties, and audit trail standards across all treasury systems
• Oversee bank connectivity and payment processing (e-banking, SWIFT), ensuring operational continuity, security, and resilience at all times
• Build and maintain high-quality relationships with banking partners and financial institutions
• Drive cash centralisation initiatives (cash pooling, in-house banking, Connexis Guarantee) to maximise liquidity efficiency across the Group
• Manage trade finance activities end-to-end - guarantees, letters of credit, project financing - ensuring strict compliance with Group policies and regulatory requirements
• Own the market data intelligence framework: ensure the accuracy, timeliness, and governance of exchange rate, interest rate, and benchmark data used across treasury and finance (IFRS 16, forecasts)
• Partner with Finance, IT, and middle office teams to continuously streamline processes, improve system usage, and align treasury operations with corporate objectives
• Define and enforce Group-wide operational standards: procedures, controls, and best practices that apply across all entities and geographies
• Support local treasury teams in the effective use of treasury tools (placements, cash forecasts) - acting as a centre of excellence, not just a helpdesk
• Own the delivery of transformation projects: scope, planning, budget, stakeholder management, UAT, and post-go-live stabilisation
• Lead the treasury onboarding of newly acquired entities, ensuring rapid and seamless integration into the Group framework

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or related field; Master's or treasury certification (ACT, CFA, CTP) preferred
• Significant experience in treasury, ideally combining operational and project / transformation exposure.
• Strong understanding of treasury products and payment systems (e-banking, SWIFT, EBICS)
• Hands-on expertise with treasury systems (e.g., SIX, EXALOG) and integration with financial platforms
• Experience in trade finance (guarantees, LCs) and/or market data governance is a strong differentiator
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with advanced Excel and financial modeling abilities.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with banks, investors, and internal teams
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of delivering under tight deadlines in a dynamic environment.
