Senior Treasury Manager

£120,000 – £160,000

London

 

Have you built and scaled a full treasury function in a fast-growing business and want to take something to the next level on an international stage? Aila Recruitment is exclusively supporting a global renewable energy business in the search for a Senior Treasury Manager on a permanent basis.

 

About the Company:

• A clean energy developer, owner and operator backed by a global group with decades of infrastructure expertise, active across the UK, Europe and Australia
• Scaling at pace: the operating portfolio is set to grow more than twentyfold as projects already under construction complete
• A lean, high-calibre function with real autonomy and strategic ownership

 

The Role:

The foundations are in place as the Director of FP&A has built treasury into a working function, but the business is growing rapidly and it’s now time to for a Treasurer to establish clear ownership of the function and build a coherent Group Treasury capability.

 

Your job is to take it from working to scalable: deepening the banking relationships, building out the FX and hedging framework, strengthening policies and controls, and making sure treasury is compliant across every jurisdiction the business operates in.

 

This will suit someone who has done this before in a fast-growing business, knows what good looks like at the next stage of scale, and is confident enough to challenge how things are done today.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Take full ownership of the Group’s banking relationships and structure, developing it as the business scales, including account openings, KYC, mandates, signatories and treasury facilities
• Develop and formalise the FX management framework, setting how the Group identifies, measures and manages currency exposure across multiple currencies and entities
• Build out the hedging programme for FX and interest-rate risk, from execution and ISDA documentation, through to confirmations, settlement, collateral and reporting
• Strengthen and embed treasury policy, delegated authorities and controls, making sure treasury activity is compliant, authorised and auditable across every jurisdiction
• Own Group cash and liquidity visibility, with a rolling forecast across entities, SPVs, JVs and currencies, including restricted cash and project-finance constraints
• Set up cash-management structures as the Group scales, including intercompany funding, pooling and concentration
• Take ownership of bank guarantees, parent-company guarantees and letters of credit, with full visibility of headroom, expiries and fees
• Manage surplus cash and counterparty exposure within policy limits
• Define the treasury operating model and systems, leading treasury’s role in the ERP implementation

 

The Ideal Candidate:

• ACT, ACA, ACCA or CIMA Qualified
• 10+ years’ experience in corporate treasury, infrastructure, energy, banking or a closely related finance role
• You’ve built or scaled a treasury function in a scale-up or rapidly growing business before.
• Hands-on experience developing banking relationships, an FX framework and hedging as a business grows, not only maintaining a mature function
• Experience of treasury compliance across multiple jurisdictions, legal entities and currencies
• Confident leading senior relationships with banks and financial counterparties
• Able to turn financial exposures into clear, practical recommendations for senior management
• Experience in an energy or renewables business is highly desirable

 

What they Offer:

• £120,000 – £160,000 salary
• Private Medical Insurance

5% pension

• Unlimited annual leave
• Hybrid and flexible working
