The business will consider both existing Treasury Managers as well as ambitious Treasury Analysts looking to step up. To be a good fit for the role, you will have proven treasury experience within an international setting and have the right level of experience to both be able to take ownership of the role and lead and develop a treasury assistant, but also to bring to the role your own ideas and vision of building the department.

In the words of the Head of Finance, this person will be getting their hands dirty from day one, but the longer term goal they'll be set is to get the function to a place where they no longer have to get their hands dirty - whether that be through adding further head count, automation or process improvement - and this hire will be given the freedom and scope to do this as they see fit.

A superb career opportunity for the right individual and a role that will in time grow into a Head of Treasury.

To be considered for this position you must have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship requirements.
