This is an excellent opportunity for someone with treasury experience who wants to develop a wider skill set across capital financing, long-term financial planning and strategic financial management.
This is far more than a traditional treasury role.Whilst treasury management will be a key part of your responsibilities, you will also gain exposure to a broad range of high-profile financial activities, making this an ideal move for someone looking to accelerate their professional development within local government finance.

• Maintain prudential indicators and support statutory treasury and capital reporting requirements.
