Location: EMEA Region - London Reports to: EMEA Regional Treasurer Company: Global Multinational Corporation (USD 25bn+ turnover)

Role Overview

The Treasury Manager – Cash Management (EMEA) will play a pivotal role in shaping and optimising the region’s cash infrastructure within a highly complex, multinational environment. Sitting within the EMEA regional treasury team, this role focuses on the strategic and operational management of the region’s banking structure, cash pooling framework, and cash centralisation processes. The EMEA region currently operates six cash pools and centralises cash from global entities. The successful candidate will lead a comprehensive review of the existing banking and pooling architecture, redesigning it into a more efficient, scalable, and strategically aligned structure that supports global treasury objectives and banking relationship strategies. This role requires a hands‑on cash specialist with strong project management capabilities, deep knowledge of cash pooling and centralisation tools, and the ability to drive automation and process improvement across a largely manual environment. The Treasury Manager will also manage a team of two based out of Poland, responsible for daily operations, providing training, guidance, and technical upskilling.

• Support global treasury in aligning EMEA banking activities with global relationship strategies and wallet distribution
• Ensure banking services meet operational, regulatory, and commercial requirements
• Negotiate enhanced banking solutions that support working capital objectives, including supply chain finance, dynamic discounting, and receivables finance where appropriate
• Team Management, Development & Knowledge Transfer
• Direct line management of two treasury managers based on Warsaw, Poland
• Provide training, coaching, and technical guidance to the Cash Manager responsible for daily operations
• Build treasury capability within the team and foster a culture of learning and continuous improvement
