From implementing structured KPIs to strengthening processes, from acting as the senior escalation point to building a culture of accountability and support, this is a role for someone who enjoys bringing people with them. Youll also own the businesss banking relationships, becoming the primary contact for partners, ensuring smooth treasury operations and proactive issue resolution. Expense management and virtual credit card platforms will sit under your remit, requiring tight oversight and daily control. At the same time, the business is in the final stages of implementing a new ERP, a significant transformation from legacy systems. Youll be involved in training and testing, helping shape how treasury and reporting operate in the new ERP environment. This is a role with real autonomy. You are not walking into rigid structures, youre stepping into a function that is ready to evolve. Youll have the freedom to improve processes, refine controls, simplify reporting models, and put your own stamp on how cash and credit operate across the group. Theyre looking for someone with multi-entity and multi-currency experience , someone who understands working capital pressure, who has built meaningful cash flow forecasts before, and who thrives in environments where pace and ownership go hand in hand. Candidate Requirements Relevant finance qualification (AAT / ACCA / CIMA) or QBE with strong treasury experience. Proven experience in cash management or treasury within a multi-entity, multi-currency environment. Demonstrable experience building and managing 13-week cash flow forecasts. Strong people leadership experience, with a track record of mentoring, developing and performance managing finance teams. Experience operating in high-volume credit control environments with structured KPI frameworks. Strong Excel capability and experience working with ERP systems (SAP S/4HANA advantageous). Ability to operate confidently in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment where cash positions change quickly. TPBN1_UKTJ
