1What this role really is

This role is about keeping our global cash flowing smoothly and safely, making sure we've got enough money where and when we need it, and that we're not losing a fortune on currency swings. You'll be right in the thick of our international operations, owning key processes, spotting problems before they become crises, and helping the newer folks learn the ropes. It's a critical role, frankly, because if we get this wrong, the whole business grinds to a halt.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Daily Cash Position Accuracy
How closely your daily cash position forecast matches the actual opening balance across all key accounts.
Target · >99.5% accuracy on average

If the forecast said £10M and actual was £9.96M, that's 99.6% accurate. We want to see that consistently.

FX Exposure Reporting Timeliness & Accuracy
Ensuring our consolidated FX exposure reports are delivered on time for hedging decisions and that the underlying data is spot on.
Target · 100% on-time delivery by 10 AM GMT on reporting days; <0.1% error rate on underlying data

Getting the weekly exposure report out by 9:30 AM with all intercompany balances correctly captured and no manual adjustments needed.

Hedge Accounting Effectiveness
The success rate of our designated hedging relationships in meeting the strict criteria for hedge accounting under IFRS 9.
Target · Maintain hedge effectiveness for >95% of designated hedges

Successfully documenting and testing 15 out of 16 FX forward contracts to qualify for hedge accounting treatment in Q2.

Process Automation & Efficiency Gains
Identifying and implementing improvements to treasury processes that save time or reduce manual effort.
Target · Save 5-10 hours per month through process optimisation

Automating the consolidation of 10 bank statements using Power Query, reducing a 4-hour task to 30 minutes each month.

Bank Relationship Management
How effectively you manage day-to-day interactions with our banking partners, resolving issues and maintaining a positive working relationship.
  • Banks proactively reach out for non-urgent matters. Issues are resolved quickly and without escalation. Positive feedback from bank relationship managers (e.g., in annual reviews). You're seen as a reliable point of contact.
Internal Stakeholder Confidence
The level of trust and reliance internal teams place on your treasury expertise and deliverables.
  • Business units come to you for advice on international payments or FX questions. Your reports are accepted without constant challenge. You're included in discussions about new international projects early on. The Treasury Manager trusts you to handle complex issues independently.
Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing
Your willingness and ability to guide and develop junior team members, sharing your knowledge and helping them grow.
  • Junior analysts regularly seek your advice. You provide constructive feedback on their work. You lead informal training sessions or document best practices. You help unstick them when they hit a roadblock.
Risk Identification & Mitigation
Your ability to spot potential financial risks (e.g., payment fraud, compliance breaches) and take steps to prevent them.
  • You proactively flag unusual payment requests. You suggest improvements to existing controls. You identify discrepancies in bank statements that others might miss. No significant compliance breaches or fraud incidents occur under your watch.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Protecting the Business

You get a genuine sense of satisfaction from knowing your work directly safeguards the company's financial health. Catching a potential fraud attempt or successfully executing a hedge that saves us millions feels like a real win.

Successfully identifying and preventing a phishing attempt that targeted a large vendor payment, saving the company a significant loss.

Solving Complex Puzzles

You enjoy unravelling why a cash flow forecast isn't aligning with actuals, or figuring out how to account for a tricky FX derivative. The intellectual challenge of treasury keeps you engaged.

Developing a new reconciliation process to fix a long-standing discrepancy between the TMS and ERP for intercompany loans.

Building & Improving Systems

You're always looking for a better, more efficient way to do things – automating a manual report, streamlining a bank reconciliation, or documenting a process so it's clearer for everyone. You like leaving things better than you found them.

Leading a small project to automate the weekly FX exposure report, cutting down manual effort by 75%.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Forecast Chase': Spending the first week of every month hounding 30 different subsidiaries for their cash flow forecasts, only to receive back-of-the-envelope guesses that you then have to defend.
  • The KYC Nightmare: The soul-crushing, bureaucratic black hole of opening a new bank account in Brazil or India, which can take 6+ months and require notarized documents from your CEO's great-grandmother.
  • 'Urgent' Wire Ambush: The 4:30 PM email from a business leader demanding an 'urgent' same-day wire for an unbudgeted expense, completely bypassing all payment controls and deadlines. You'll be the one saying 'no' or figuring out the impossible.
  • Bank Portal Blackouts: The unique terror of your primary bank's portal going down for 'unplanned maintenance' 30 minutes before the payment cut-off on payroll day. It happens more often than you'd think.
  • Explaining FX to the Uninitiated: Trying to explain to a sales manager for the 10th time that the 'FX loss' on their P&L is an accounting revaluation, not a reflection of their performance. Patience is a virtue here.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine: Expect urgent requests and market volatility to disrupt your plans regularly.
  • Immediate, high-profile strategic glory: Much of the work is foundational, ensuring the stability that enables strategy.
  • A 'set it and forget it' environment: Treasury requires constant vigilance and adaptation.
  • A role where you don't have to deal with messy, incomplete data from various sources.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our liquidity, financial risk exposure, and compliance posture. You'll be ensuring we can meet our financial obligations globally, protecting our P&L from currency swings, and making sure we're playing by the rules. Essentially, you're a key guardian of the company's financial stability, which means your work has a ripple effect across every department.

Inside the business
  • Treasury Manager and Head of Treasury
  • Group Financial Controller and wider Finance team
  • Tax Department
  • Legal Department
  • Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable teams
  • Business Unit Finance Leads (especially international ones)
Outside the business
  • Global Banking Partners (relationship managers, operations teams)
  • FX Trading Counterparties
  • External Auditors
  • Treasury Management System (TMS) vendors

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A minimum of 5 years of progressive experience in a treasury or corporate finance role, with a strong focus on international operations.
  • Demonstrable experience with a Treasury Management System (TMS) like Kyriba, FIS Quantum, or GTreasury, including configuration and advanced reporting.
  • Proven ability to perform hedge accounting documentation and effectiveness testing under IFRS 9 or ASC 815.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including Power Query for data manipulation and automation.
  • Experience in managing daily cash positions, including funding and investment decisions.
  • A solid understanding of global payment systems and FX trading mechanics.
  • Strong understanding of internal controls relevant to treasury operations.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Or equivalent demonstrable experience.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Prompt Engineering & AI-Assisted Analysis

AI tools are already here, helping us draft reports, summarise regulations, and even generate initial analyses. Those who can 'talk' effectively to these tools (prompt engineering) will be significantly more productive and efficient, freeing up time for higher-value work.

Context Windows & Token Limits · Iterative Prompting · Output Validation & Hallucination Detection · Integrating AI with Existing Workflows

  • This week: Experiment with ChatGPT or Claude to summarise a complex financial article or draft an email.
  • This month: Use an AI tool to help you structure and draft the commentary for one of your monthly treasury reports.
  • Month 2: Explore how to use AI to clean or categorise unstructured data from bank statements or internal notes.
  • Month 3: Document how much time you've saved using AI for routine tasks and share your findings with the team.

Quick win: Start using AI to draft code comments for your Excel VBA or Power Query scripts. It's low risk, high reward, and gets you comfortable with the tools.

TMS Optimisation & Advanced Configuration

Treasury Management Systems are becoming more powerful and integrated. Simply using them for daily tasks isn't enough; you'll need to understand how to push their capabilities, configure new modules, and ensure they're working optimally to support our evolving global structure.

Module Integration · Report Builder & Customisation · Workflow Automation within TMS · Data Governance & Quality

  • This month: Deep dive into one specific module of our TMS that you don't use daily. Understand its full functionality.
  • Next month: Identify one manual process that could be automated or streamlined using an existing TMS feature and propose a solution.
  • Month 3: Work with the TMS vendor support to learn advanced customisation options for reporting or data extraction.
  • Ongoing: Attend TMS user conferences or webinars to stay updated on new features and best practices.

Quick win: Volunteer to be the 'super user' for a new TMS feature or module. You'll learn it inside out and become the team's go-to expert.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attend industry conferences or webinars focused on international treasury, FX risk management, or treasury technology. Staying current is key.
  • Participate in online courses or workshops on advanced Excel, Power BI, or specific TMS functionalities to deepen your technical skills.
  • Engage with professional treasury networks or forums to share insights and learn from peers in other organisations.
  • Seek out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues or lead internal training sessions on treasury topics. Teaching is a great way to solidify your own knowledge.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Advanced Data Storytelling & Visualisation

Treasury data is getting more complex, and leadership needs quick, clear insights, not just raw numbers. The ability to distil complex financial data into compelling narratives and visualisations is becoming crucial for influencing decisions and getting buy-in for treasury initiatives.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior International Treasury Accountant is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, treasury work involves a lot of data, reconciliation, and reporting. Imagine if you could cut down on the tedious stuff and focus more on the interesting analysis and problem-solving. Well, AI isn't just for tech companies anymore; it's rapidly changing how we do finance.

We're not talking about robots taking over your job. We're talking about smart tools that can handle the repetitive, time-consuming parts of your day, freeing you up to do what humans do best: interpret, strategise, and build relationships. Here’s a peek at how AI can genuinely make your life easier as a Senior International Treasury Accountant.

Automated Bank Reconciliation

Use an AI tool to automatically match thousands of transactions from bank statements to entries in our ERP system. It'll flag only the true exceptions for your expert review, cutting down hours of manual 'tick and tie' work during month-end close. Imagine getting those reconciliations done in a fraction of the time.

Predictive Cash Flow Analytics

Leverage AI models to analyse historical cash flow patterns and even external data (like economic indicators) to generate more accurate, probabilistic cash forecasts. This means highlighting potential shortfalls or surpluses weeks in advance, giving you more time to react and make better funding or investment decisions.

Treasury Report Commentary Drafting

Feed your monthly cash, debt, and FX performance data into a generative AI model to produce a solid first draft of the commentary for the Treasury section of the CFO's monthly business review. This streamlines the narrative-writing process, letting you spend more time on strategic analysis and less on staring at a blank page.

Global Compliance & Regulation Summaries

Use an AI assistant to monitor and summarise changes in central bank regulations, currency controls, and tax laws across all our operating countries. It can provide alerts and initial impact assessments, replacing hours of manual research and reliance on expensive legal updates. Stay ahead of the curve without the headache.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior International Treasury Accountant, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior International Treasury Accountant: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role are highly transferable. You could move into broader corporate finance roles, financial planning and analysis, risk management, or even into banking (e.g., corporate banking relationship management, treasury sales).
