Purpose of the Role
This is a high impact role within a small, expert Treasury team based in Leeds. The Treasury Manager will take ownership of key risk management responsibilities — principally Counterparty Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk — across a very significant portfolio of client cash. As part of a small team, the role carries real breadth: the successful candidate will be expected to act as Treasury Dealer when required, placing deposits and managing activity within policy and regulatory limits, as well as undertaking rigorous analytical and forecasting work.
The role also demands the confidence to communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, including executive directors, and when required deputise for the Head of Treasury.
This is an exciting time to join: the team has recently implemented FIS Integrity as its Treasury Management System and is actively developing the use of AI tooling to enhance Treasury operations. The successful candidate will be a key contributor to both strategic initiatives.
