A well established, large scale UK manufacturer is looking for a Treasury Manager to help run and shape its Treasury function during an exciting period of change. Following a recent shift in ownership, the business has a newly appointed board and a fresh transformation agenda underway, making this a rare chance to join right at the start of a new chapter, with real influence over how the function develops.

What you'll be doing

You'll join a small, tight knit Treasury team of four, two experienced analysts and two more recent joiners, reporting into the Head of Treasury.

It's a hands on role rather than a purely strategic one: you'll be running the day-to-day cash and payments operation while also taking on line management responsibility and helping develop the team beneath you.

Duties

• Keeping on top of the group's cash position and short term forecasting, making sure funding is where it needs to be
• Getting payments (international transfers, SAP invoice runs, manual payments) out the door accurately and on time
• Handling trade finance paperwork , letters of credit, guarantees, bonds, export collections
• Keeping bank accounts, intercompany balances and financial instruments properly reconciled
• Acting as the day-to-day point of contact for the company's banking partners, including KYC and account admin
• Contributing to how Treasury policy and risk controls evolve
• Pulling together reporting and dashboards for senior stakeholders
• Supporting audit requests as they come in
• Coaching and supporting junior members of the team

What we're looking for

ACCA, CIMA or ACT qualified, or well into their studies (roughly 70%+ complete) with a clear finish line in sight.

Beyond that, we're really looking for:

• Real transactional experience — someone who has actually run cash and payment processes, not just reviewed them
• A working grasp of funding structures and hedging
• Confidence reconciling bank and treasury positions
• Trade finance exposure — candidates from a banking or financial services middle-office background
• A background in management accounting or cashflow work management
• The people skills to genuinely manage and get the best out of a small team
• Strong organisation, attention to detail, and solid Excel skills
• A down to earth, collaborative manner

What's on Offer

• Up to £60,000 base salary
• Company pension scheme
• 27 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Life assurance
• Company sick pay scheme
• Health cash plan
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Family friendly policies including enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave
• The opportunity to be part of a business entering a genuinely new and stable chapter
