The Treasury Manager sits at the front line of the company's funding operations — sourcing quotes, negotiating terms, and closing transactions with banks and select debt market counterparties on a day-to-day basis. The role requires constant coordination with banking partners to secure timely sanctions, competitive pricing, and adequate headroom to meet the business's funding needs, while keeping the Head – Treasury updated on relationship health, pricing trends, and emerging funding opportunities.

Because the role is front-office facing, the jobholder needs to combine strong relationship-building skills with the discipline to execute transactions accurately and within approved limits, escalating pricing or structuring decisions that fall outside a pre-agreed mandate.

Funds raising and execution

• Source competitive quotes for working capital and term borrowing from banks
• Execute borrowing transactions (bank term loans, cash credit/OD lines, NCDs, CPs) within approved mandates and limits
• Negotiate pricing, tenor, and terms within the framework set by the Head – Treasury
• Coordinate documentation, disbursement, and settlement of borrowing transactions with internal Treasury Operations and legal teams
• Track upcoming redemptions/maturities and flag rollover requirements well in advance

Market and relationship intelligence

• Monitor short-term interest rate movements, bank pricing trends, and peer borrowing costs
• Share regular updates with the Head – Treasury on funding market conditions and relationship developments
• Flag opportunities for cost reduction or diversification (e.g., new lenders, new instruments) for the Head – Treasury's consideration

Operations and compliance support

• Ensure all borrowing transactions are processed per SOPs, with accurate transaction records and disclosures
• Support the Head – Treasury with data for internal MIS on bank-wise borrowings, COB, and limit utilisation
• Assist with statutory, internal, and concurrent audit requirements relating to bank borrowings
• Ensure adherence to RBI/FEMA guidelines applicable to bank borrowings

Critical Skill Sets

• Strong, established relationships with banking relationship managers and treasury desks
• Good understanding of bank borrowing instruments (term loans, CC/OD, NCDs, CPs) and pricing conventions
• Strong negotiation and communication skills
• Ability to work within defined mandates while managing multiple relationships and deadlines simultaneously
• Comfort with basic financial analysis and market tracking

Major Challenges in the Role

• Securing timely sanctions and adequate limits as the business scales
• Maintaining competitive pricing across a growing set of banking relationships
• Balancing relationship-building with disciplined, within-mandate execution
• Keeping documentation and compliance current across multiple active lenders
• Spotting early signs of pricing or relationship risk and escalating promptly

  Education & Experience
