Working as a Treasury Analyst here at Saga you will be key to looking after the financial health of our organisation by mitigating risks, keeping assets safe and returns optimised. It is truly a very critical role sitting in the fast-paced operation of Treasury and is a central point of contact of a small dynamic team.

Our Treasury department manages the Group’s cash, debt, currency and commodity hedges and investment strategy. We are an Enterprise function and have internal stakeholders across the Group and external stakeholders including lenders and auditors.

We work in a hybrid way at Saga both at home and in the office. In this team we work mainly from Folkestone, Kent alongside home-working.

Main Responsibilities

The Treasury Team’s objective is to look after the financial health of our organisation by mitigating risks, keeping assets safe and returns optimised. As a Treasury Analyst, you’ll play a critical role in the daily operation of Treasury and be a central point of contact within a small team.

You’ll support the management of the Group’s cash, debt, currency and commodity hedges and investment strategy. Working closely with colleagues across Finance and Group Professional Services, you’ll assist with Treasury operations, reporting and banking activities while developing strong relationships with external partners including banks, financial service providers and auditors.

In this role, you will:

• Manage Enterprise-wide cash balances each day, ensuring there are no overdrawn balances and that surplus funds are invested in line with policy, ensuring regulatory capital is ringfenced where required.
• Ensure all bank transfers are accurately recorded in the general ledger (Workday).
• Assist with implementation of process improvement and automation of daily processes, especially cash management.
• Complete FX settlement on behalf of the Travel business, in line with Group policy, including coordination and trading of weekly requirements.
• Prepare and process manual payments, including coordination of the authorisation process.
• Maintain the bank account register, monitor account usage and support the opening, amendment and closure of bank accounts as business requirements evolve.
• Lead online banking and portal administration, including maintenance of user and contact lists.
• Take ownership of bank mandates, coordinating changes with the Company Secretarial Team and various banks, and maintaining a master database.
• Assist with month-end Treasury processes, such as FX reconciliations, intercompany funding transfers and preparation of Treasury reporting.
• Act as a key point of contact for our banking and other partners, with responsibility for KYC requests.
• Manage the Treasury inbox, providing appropriate responses in a timely manner and escalating queries where appropriate.
• Support ad hoc projects and tasks as required.

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll have:

• A sense of urgency, with the ability to role‑model the Saga value of "Make it happen".
• The ability to work autonomously.
• Excellent accuracy and the ability to self-review, particularly given the exposure to material transactions and executing foreign exchange trades with banks.
• The ability to identify training needs to resolve gaps in knowledge and skills.
• Have a treasury, economics, or accounting background.
• Familiarity with banking and payment mechanisms beneficial.
• Experience with Workday.
