Job Description

Find where you belong!

Are you ready to take the reins and shape the treasury strategy for a high-volume, dynamic business from the ground up? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can combine hands‑on execution with strategic thinking? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Your Purpose

As Head of Treasury and Investor Relations, you will own and drive Travelodge’s overall treasury strategy, balancing financial risk management with proactive value creation. Positioned as a key member of the Corporate Finance leadership team, your purpose is two-fold: executing hands‑on, high‑impact treasury operations while developing the external storytelling that articulates Travelodge’s commercial narrative to external partners.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Developing and executing treasury policy across multi‑currency cash flows, FX, daily liquidity, and cash management investment strategies applying Security, Liquidity, and Yield principles.
• Manage hedging programs for currency and interest rate risks, while maintaining operational banking platforms, bank accounts, and money market funds.
• Oversee debt, bond, and property financing structures, play a leading role in future refinancings, while embedding and optimising a new Treasury Management System (TMS).
• Build and maintain strategic and operational relationships across banking partners, fund providers, rating agencies, and industry experts.
• Craft external investor communications (including quarterly bondholder updates) and support the CFO and Corporate Finance Director with market sentiment analysis and rating agency engagement.
• Establish standard operating procedures and collaborate with Financial Planning & M&A teams, while exerting a strong influence over Accounts Payable and transactional finance operations.

Your Strengths

To thrive in this role, you will bring a combination of technical treasury rigor, commercial acumen, and the personal drive to operate as both a hands‑on self‑starter and a strategic leader. You'll demonstrate a strong background in treasury and corporate finance within a multi‑site, high‑volume environment, having led a team in a scaling business or served as a senior analyst in a FTSE 100+ corporation. Ideally holding or actively pursuing the AMCT qualification, you will have direct experience with debt raises, refinancing, or complex hedging strategies in the £50m–£200m range.

You'll leverage your deep expertise in derivatives, multi‑currency cash flows, tax and technical accounting, Treasury Management Systems (experience in Kyriba advantageous), and Excel financial modeling to drive business value. Thriving in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments, you will maintain impeccable attention to detail to translate complex financial data into broad strategic policy. Ultimately, you'll use your resilience and exceptional communication skills to elevate the treasury function internally while effectively representing Travelodge externally.

Your Perks

• Up to £110,000 Salary & Annualised Bonus
• Contributory pension scheme - auto enroll at 5% after 3 months and we contribute 8%
• Car Allowance payable at £570.00 per month
• Hybrid working - a minimum of 60% of your time should be spent in the office and or visiting suppliers
• 50% personal discount for hotel bookings and great friends and family discounts too!
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays, increasing with length of service
