2. Loan agreements & WCDL lifecycle management:

• Lead end-to-end working capital and term loan processes from term sheet evaluation, covenant analysis, and loan agreement negotiation with banks to documentation closure.

• Build and maintain short-term (daily/weekly) and medium-term (monthly/quarterly) cash-flow models at entity and group level.
• Monitor daily liquidity, anticipate funding gaps, and recommend deployment of surplus funds or drawdown of facilities to optimize interest cost.

• Provide actionable insights on cost of funds, idle cash, and utilization efficiency; suggest optimization levers.

8. Audit management:

• Lead preparation of treasury schedules and evidence for internal, statutory, and tax audits.
• Proactively close prior-period audit observations related to treasury and strengthen controls to target nil observations in subsequent audits.

• Flag potential covenant breaches, document lapses, or operational risks in advance to the Finance Head and help implement mitigating actions.

10. Banking & stakeholder management:

• Act as the primary treasury interface with banks and financial institutions for limits, pricing, documentation, and issue resolution.
