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.
