  • Develop an understanding of the EMEA legal entity structure and associated regulatory payment requirements across more than 300 bank accounts.
  • Support daily intercompany cash transfers, ensuring funds are available in the correct account, currency, and timeframe.
  • Co-manage Treasury inboxes, delivering a high standard of service to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Upload bank statements into SAP to support daily operations and month-end processes.
  • Assist with audit queries and support broader Treasury and Accounts Payable activities.
  • Support cross-training initiatives within the Treasury Operations team as required.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience within a finance function is preferred.
  • Exposure to banking platforms and payment systems.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
