Treasury Manager

A well established, large scale UK manufacturer is looking for a Treasury Manager to help run and shape its Treasury function during an exciting period of change.

What you'll be doing

You'll join a small, tight knit Treasury team of four, two experienced analysts and two more recent joiners, reporting into the Head of Treasury.
