1What this role really is

This isn't just a job; it's the helm of our financial risk management. You'll be the ultimate guardian of our company's cash, investments, and financial risks, ensuring we're stable, liquid, and ready for whatever the market throws at us.

It's about making sure we've got the cash when we need it, the right funding structure, and that our balance sheet is as robust as it can be. Honestly, it's a high-stakes game, but incredibly rewarding if you're up for the challenge.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Shaping Enterprise Strategy

You'll spend time in executive meetings, influencing capital allocation decisions, advising on M&A targets, and ensuring financial risk is a core consideration in every major business move. It's not just about reporting; it's about steering the ship.

Leading the financial due diligence and funding strategy for a £500M acquisition, ensuring it aligns with our long-term capital structure goals.

Navigating Complexity & Impacting Markets

You'll thrive on understanding global macroeconomic trends, geopolitical shifts, and regulatory changes, then translating those into tangible financial strategies. Your decisions will directly interact with bond markets, currency markets, and commodity markets, with real-world consequences.

Designing a new hedging programme to mitigate the financial impact of a major geopolitical event, protecting £10M+ in quarterly earnings.

Building & Leading High-Performing Teams

You'll get immense satisfaction from mentoring your Directors and Managers, seeing them grow, and knowing you've built a world-class treasury function that's respected both internally and externally. Your team's success is your success.

Developing a succession plan that sees two of your direct reports promoted to senior leadership roles within two years.

What frustrates people
  • The sheer volume of external scrutiny: Auditors, regulators, rating agencies, and investors all want their piece of your time.
  • Explaining the same complex financial concepts (like OCI reclassification) to different executive audiences, repeatedly.
  • The slow pace of change in large organisations, especially when implementing new systems or policies across global teams.
  • Managing the expectations of the Board and CEO during periods of market volatility, where 'perfect' outcomes are impossible.
  • The constant need to balance short-term P&L pressures with long-term strategic resilience.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 work schedule – market events don't respect office hours.
  • The ability to avoid public scrutiny – your decisions are visible and impactful.
  • A purely technical role – you'll spend more time leading, influencing, and strategising than crunching numbers yourself.
  • Guaranteed success – the markets are unpredictable, and you'll have to own the outcomes, good or bad.

6Who you work with

This role owns the firm's overall financial risk management strategy, covering everything from foreign exchange and interest rate risk to commodity exposure. Your decisions directly influence our capital structure, liquidity position, and how we present our financial health to the market. Essentially, you're responsible for ensuring the company has the financial firepower to execute its strategic vision, while protecting it from financial shocks. It's a critical role that underpins the entire enterprise's stability and growth potential.

Inside the business
  • CEO and Executive Leadership Team
  • Board of Directors (especially Audit and Finance Committees)
  • Legal and Compliance Departments
  • Heads of Business Units (for commercial strategy alignment)
  • Investor Relations
Outside the business
  • Investment Banks and Commercial Lenders
  • Credit Rating Agencies
  • External Auditors
  • Regulators (e.g., FCA, PRA)
  • Institutional Investors and Analysts
  • Treasury Management System (TMS) Vendors

7What you need before you start

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

  • 20+ years of progressive experience in finance, with at least 10 years in senior treasury or capital markets leadership roles within a large, complex, multinational organisation, or equivalent.
  • Proven track record of managing multi-billion-pound balance sheets and P&L statements, demonstrating a clear impact on financial performance.
  • Extensive experience presenting to and influencing Boards of Directors, C-suite executives, and external financial stakeholders (investors, banks, rating agencies).
  • Demonstrable expertise in global financial markets, including debt capital markets, foreign exchange, interest rates, and commodity derivatives.
  • Deep understanding of technical accounting standards (IFRS/US GAAP) related to financial instruments and hedging, with practical experience in their application.
  • Experience leading and developing large, geographically dispersed teams, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Predictive Analytics for Market Shifts

Traditional forecasting methods struggle with extreme market events. Advanced predictive models, often powered by machine learning, can offer deeper insights into potential market volatility, allowing for more proactive hedging and liquidity management strategies. You'll need to understand their capabilities and limitations.

Time Series Forecasting with ML · Sentiment Analysis for Market News · Stress Testing with AI · Anomaly Detection in Cash Flows

  • This quarter: Request a deep-dive presentation from your analytics team on their current predictive capabilities and future roadmap.
  • Next 6 months: Sponsor a pilot project using advanced analytics for a specific treasury forecasting challenge (e.g., short-term liquidity).
  • Next 12 months: Evaluate vendor solutions that offer enhanced predictive analytics for treasury applications.
  • Ongoing: Challenge your team to move beyond descriptive analytics to truly predictive and prescriptive insights.

Quick win: Ask your team to incorporate a 'what if' scenario based on a sudden, unexpected market event into their next liquidity report, using some basic predictive assumptions.

Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for Treasury

While still nascent, DLT has the potential to revolutionise payments, intercompany netting, and supply chain finance by offering greater transparency, speed, and security. As Treasurer, you'll need to understand its strategic implications and evaluate its potential for our global operations.

DLT for Cross-Border Payments · Smart Contracts in Treasury · Tokenisation of Assets · Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)

  • This quarter: Read up on the latest industry reports and whitepapers on DLT applications in corporate treasury.
  • Next 6 months: Engage with our innovation or technology teams to understand any internal DLT initiatives.
  • Next 12 months: Participate in an industry consortium or pilot programme exploring DLT for treasury use cases.
  • Ongoing: Assess the security and scalability implications of DLT for our financial infrastructure.

Quick win: Ask your team to research one specific DLT use case that could potentially reduce costs or improve efficiency in our current treasury operations.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regular participation in executive-level treasury and finance forums (e.g., EuroFinance, ACT conferences, Treasury Today events) to stay abreast of industry best practices and network with peers.
  • Engagement with academic institutions or think tanks on emerging financial risk management topics, contributing to thought leadership.
  • Mentorship of rising talent within the finance function, both inside and outside your direct team, to foster the next generation of leaders.
  • Serving on the board of a non-profit or smaller company to gain broader governance experience beyond your primary role.

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: AI Governance & Ethical Use in Finance

AI is rapidly becoming embedded in financial decision-making, from risk modelling to automated trading. As a C-suite leader, you'll need to establish the ethical frameworks, governance structures, and oversight mechanisms to ensure AI is used responsibly and effectively, managing its risks while harnessing its power.

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

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Even at the C-suite, AI isn't about replacing you; it's about amplifying your strategic impact. Imagine having an intelligent co-pilot that sifts through market data, regulatory changes, and internal reports, presenting you with distilled insights and scenario analyses in minutes, not days. That's the power we're talking about.

Truth is, the sheer volume of information you need to process to make informed strategic decisions is staggering. AI tools, especially Large Language Models (LLMs) and advanced analytics platforms, can dramatically reduce the time you spend on information gathering and synthesis, freeing you up for higher-value thinking, influencing, and leading. We're talking about a significant shift in how you prepare for Board meetings, analyse market risks, and communicate complex financial positions.

Strategic Scenario Modelling

Use AI-powered platforms to run thousands of market scenarios (FX, IR, commodity price shocks) and instantly see the P&L and balance sheet impact. This helps you stress-test hedging strategies and capital plans, giving you robust data for Board presentations.

Regulatory & Policy Synthesis

AI can monitor global regulatory bodies (FASB, IASB, central banks) for new pronouncements, summarise complex changes, and instantly flag potential impacts on our existing policies or hedging programmes. No more sifting through hundreds of pages of legalese.

Executive Insight Generation

Feed AI tools internal financial data, market reports, and economic forecasts. It can then generate first-draft executive summaries, highlight key trends, identify outliers, and even suggest strategic questions for your next leadership meeting. Think of it as having an army of junior analysts at your fingertips.

Enhanced Investor Communications

Use AI to help draft investor presentations, earnings call scripts, and analyst briefings. It can help refine messaging, ensure consistency, and even anticipate potential questions based on historical Q&A, allowing you to focus on the strategic narrative.

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 Corporate Treasurer / VP of Treasury, 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.
