Group Treasury Manager

Valeo Foods Group is one of Europe’s fastest-growing food companies, specialising in sweets, snacks and treats. We operate in over 100 countries serving major retailers, discounters, e-commerce, convenience stores, wholesalers, and foodservice operators. With revenues exceeding €1.8 billion, we employ over 5,400 people across more than 30 facilities in the UK, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovakia, Czech, and Canada.

We are committed to building a sustainable future for our people, clients, communities, and the planet. We drive efforts to reduce environmental impact, invest in health and safety initiatives, enhance training and development, and nurture an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.

An exciting opportunity for an experienced Group Treasury Manager to help shape and develop a newly formed Group Treasury function within the rapidly growing Valeo Foods Group. This role combines operational treasury with high‑impact project work, giving an experienced treasury professional the chance to make a real mark in a business expanding quickly across international markets in the food sector.

Initially, you’ll support the setup and embedding of core Group Treasury processes before moving into longer‑term projects and ongoing treasury operations. Working closely with the Group Treasurer, you’ll be part of a highly collaborative and professional head office team. You’ll play a central role in our treasury transformation, modernising our banking landscape, strengthening cash management, and improving how we manage financial risk across multiple countries.

A major part of the role involves leading our Western Europe banking transition (UK, Germany, Ireland), acting as the main point of contact with our new banking partner, and ensuring a smooth move to automated cash pooling. You’ll partner closely with tax, legal and divisional teams throughout.

Alongside this, you’ll take ownership of group cash management: overseeing cash balances, improving our 13‑week cashflow forecast, reducing idle cash, supporting smarter pooling structures, and advising countries on treasury and capital structure matters. Oversight of overdrafts and short‑term funding sits here too.

Looking forward, you’ll help shape our longer‑term roadmap, including assessing and implementing a Treasury Management System (TMS), improving intra‑group netting processes, and managing debt facility compliance in partnership with Group Finance.
