Following a major funding reset, Treasury is seeking an experienced professional to help lead the day-to-day operation and execution of key funding initiatives.

You will:

  • Own the Group’s daily cash position and 13-week cashflow forecast, ensuring alignment with FP&A and longer-range planning.
  • Recommend and execute funding actions, including drawdowns, rollovers, repayments, commercial paper issuance and deposit placements.

  • Maintain liquidity headroom and undrawn facility capacity to support investment and portfolio-company capital requirements.
  • Manage the Syndicated Facility Agreement, bilateral facilities and capital-markets programmes, including utilisation requests, agent interactions, fee calculations and compliance deliverables.
  • Monitor S&P credit metrics, investment-grade obligations and the debt maturity, refinancing and funding-concentration profile.
  • Review and negotiate funding documentation with legal counsel and lenders, including facility agreements, negative pledge deeds, accession letters, pricing supplements and trust deed matters.
  • Coordinate engagement with lenders, arrangers, S&P, the bond supervisor, registry and internal legal, tax and accounting teams.
  • Prepare high-quality Treasury Committee, Audit & Risk Committee and Board reporting, including policy compliance, credit metrics and treasury risks.
  • Support interest rate and FX hedging strategy and execution within policy limits, and improve foreign-currency cashflow and debt forecasting.
  • Supervise and develop the Treasury Analyst, drive process improvement and automation, and deputise for the Treasurer as required.

About You

You are an experienced treasury professional who combines strong technical expertise with sound judgement, ownership and credibility in a fast-paced environment.

You will bring:

  • 6+ years’ experience in corporate treasury, banking, debt capital markets or a related finance role, ideally within an investment-grade or listed issuer.
  • Strong knowledge of cash and liquidity management, debt facilities and capital-markets instruments.
  • Hands-on experience reviewing or negotiating funding documentation and working with lawyers, lenders and arrangers.
  • Familiarity with credit ratings, ideally S&P, interest rate and FX hedging products, and treasury management systems such as GTreasury.
  • A finance, commerce or economics degree; CA, CFA or a treasury qualification such as INFINZ or ACT is desirable.
  • Advanced Excel skills and the ability to produce clear, board-quality written and presentation material.
  • A proactive, self-starting approach, with the ability to take ownership and deliver with limited supervision.
  • Strong attention to detail, a control mindset and sound commercial judgement.
  • Confidence communicating with senior management, committees and external counterparties.
  • A collaborative style, with a commitment to developing others and building strong internal and external relationships.
