• Developing productive relationships with banking partners, money managers, trustees, and other stakeholders to enhance the organisation’s position within the financial community.
• Implementing policies for the treasury function including guidelines for leverage ratios, debt maturities, liquidity targets, and other key metrics tailored to each fund’s needs.
• Monitoring all aspects of cash flow management to achieve operational efficiencies while delivering insightful reports and recommendations on treasury activities to senior management.
