Finatal is partnering with a PE-backed manufacturing group generating approximately €1 billion in revenues, operating across more than 100 countries, and currently undergoing a significant carve-out and standalone build. As the business embarks on a high-profile value creation programme, we are seeking a Group Treasurer to establish, lead, and execute the global treasury strategy.

This is a pivotal leadership role for an ambitious, hands-on treasury professional who can combine strategic thinking with operational execution. The successful candidate will build a best-in-class treasury function from the ground up, optimise the group's capital structure, enhance cash visibility and liquidity management, and support the organisation through its carve-out, transformation, and eventual private equity exit.

Key Responsibilities

Treasury Leadership & Strategy

• Define and deliver a global treasury strategy aligned with the group's value creation plan and future exit objectives.
• Build and lead the standalone treasury function as part of the carve-out process.
• Act as a strategic adviser to the CFO, Executive Leadership Team, Board, and investors on treasury, financing, and risk management matters.
• Develop treasury policies, governance frameworks, and controls to support a newly independent organisation.

Cash & Liquidity Management

• Establish global cash visibility and liquidity reporting across an international footprint operating in more than 100 countries.
• Optimise working capital, cash pooling structures, and liquidity deployment across multiple jurisdictions.
• Implement best-in-class cash forecasting and treasury reporting processes to improve decision-making and control.
• Lead all aspects of debt management, refinancing activities, covenant compliance, and lender relationships.
• Support financing workstreams associated with the carve-out and broader value creation initiatives.
• Drive capital structure optimisation to maximise flexibility and shareholder value.
• Design and implement FX, interest rate, and broader treasury risk management frameworks.
• Manage exposures across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, ensuring robust controls and reporting.
• Partner with key stakeholders to mitigate financial and operational risks across the organisation.

Treasury Transformation & Exit Readiness

• Lead treasury transformation initiatives, including systems selection, implementation, automation, and process improvement.
• Reduce reliance on manual processes through enhanced controls, reporting, and technology.
• Provide treasury leadership on M&A activity, carve-out execution, integration projects, and exit planning, ensuring transaction readiness throughout the investment lifecycle.

Candidate Requirements

• Proven experience operating within private equity-backed businesses, ideally in manufacturing, industrial, engineering, or similarly complex environments.
• Strong track record managing cash, liquidity, debt, refinancing, FX, and treasury risk across multiple jurisdictions.
• Experience building, transforming, or professionalising treasury functions, particularly within carve-out, separation, or standalone environments.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence Boards, lenders, investors, and executive teams.
• Commercially minded, hands-on, and execution-focused, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced transformation environment.
• Flexible to travel across Europe as required.
