Job description

About the Role:

OSTTRA - HEAD OF TREASURY

OSTTRA is a leading provider of post-trade solutions for the global OTC market. In April 2025, the current Shareholders, CME Group and S&P Global, entered into an agreement to sell the company to KKR for a total enterprise value of $3.1 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments pursuant to their 50/50 joint venture.

As Head of Treasury for OSTTRA, you will be responsible for managing the company's cash flow, liquidity, and financial risk profile across the group, with a focus on maximizing value for our Shareholders. OSTTRA has over 30 entities across multiple geographical jurisdictions, including key locations in the UK, US, Sweden, India, Singapore, and Malaysia, among others. You should be able to navigate complex international landscapes, manage compliance, and contribute to strategic planning, particularly within the context of our Shareholders' Investment Strategies. This involves ensuring the company can service its debt, optimize overall cash management, and support OSTTRA's investment strategy. You will need a strong understanding of cash flow management, financial risk management, and capital structure management, and should be able to communicate effectively with various stakeholders, analyze financial data, identify risks, and develop appropriate solutions.

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of working in a changing environment, with international experience preferred (but not essential), ideally within private equity or a regulated business.

The role is based in our London office near Liverpool Street Station, with a minimum of 3 days a week in the office (although the contract states 5 days). There is no prescribed overseas travel requirement, but candidates must be able to travel as required in the performance of their duties.

Key Responsibilities and Experience

• Cash Flow Management: Monitor and optimize cash inflows and outflows, ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet debt obligations and operational needs. Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure transparency and reliability of cash flow management and debt servicing.
• Financial Risk Management: Identify, assess, and mitigate financial risks, including interest rate risk, currency risk, and credit risk, through strong treasury controls and reporting.
• Capital Structure Management: Work with the CFO to manage the company's capital structure, ensuring compliance with financial covenants while optimizing debt financing aligned with the investment strategy.
• Reporting and Compliance: Provide regular reports to management, shareholders, banks, and other stakeholders, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
• Strategic Planning: Participate in planning related to capital expenditures, acquisitions, divestitures, and other major financial decisions.
• Technology and Automation: Leverage technology to streamline treasury operations and improve efficiency.
• Stakeholder Management: Manage relationships with the finance team, management, shareholders, lenders, and other stakeholders.

Specific Context for OSTTRA:

• Leveraged Experience: Understand tax implications of a leveraged business, including debt structure, interest deductibility, and impacts on cash flow and taxes.
• Mergers and Acquisitions: Provide tax advice on structuring acquisitions and divestitures, including VAT implications and tax planning.
• Investment Strategies: Collaborate with the CFO to develop tax-efficient investment strategies for shareholders.
• Global Tax Implications: Manage tax risks and opportunities in a cross-border context, including partnerships and M&A.

This role requires a combination of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership skills to navigate our multinational organization and maximize value for OSTTRA and its shareholders. Flexibility and adaptability are essential as we undergo significant change.
