Finatal is partnering with a PE-backed manufacturing group generating approximately €1 billion in revenues, operating across more than 100 countries, and currently undergoing a significant carve-out and standalone build. As the business embarks on a high-profile value creation programme, we are seeking a Group Treasurer to establish, lead, and execute the global treasury strategy.

This is a pivotal leadership role for an ambitious, hands‑on treasury professional who can combine strategic thinking with operational execution. The successful candidate will build a best‑in‑class treasury function from the ground up, optimise the group's capital structure, enhance cash visibility and liquidity management, and support the organisation through its carve‑out, transformation, and eventual private equity exit.

• Define and deliver a global treasury strategy aligned with the group's value creation plan and future exit objectives.
• Build and lead the standalone treasury function as part of the carve‑out process.
• Act as a strategic adviser to the CFO, Executive Leadership Team, Board, and investors on treasury, financing, and risk management matters.
• Develop treasury policies, governance frameworks, and controls to support a newly independent organisation.

• Establish global cash visibility and liquidity reporting across an international footprint operating in more than 100 countries.
• Optimise working capital, cash pooling structures, and liquidity deployment across multiple jurisdictions.
• Implement best‑in‑class cash forecasting and treasury reporting processes to improve decision‑making and control.
• Lead all aspects of debt management, refinancing activities, covenant compliance, and lender relationships.
• Support financing work streams associated with the carve‑out and broader value creation initiatives.
• Drive capital structure optimisation to maximise flexibility and shareholder value.
• Design and implement FX, interest rate, and broader treasury risk management frameworks.
• Manage exposures across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, ensuring robust controls and reporting.
• Partner with key stakeholders to mitigate financial and operational risks across the organisation.

• Lead treasury transformation initiatives, including systems selection, implementation, automation, and process improvement.
• Reduce reliance on manual processes through enhanced controls, reporting, and technology.
• Provide treasury leadership on M&A activity, carve‑out execution, integration projects, and exit planning, ensuring transaction readiness throughout the investment lifecycle.

• Proven experience operating within private equity-backed businesses, ideally in manufacturing, industrial, engineering, or similarly complex environments.
• Strong track record managing cash, liquidity, debt, refinancing, FX, and treasury risk across multiple jurisdictions.
• Experience building, transforming, or professionalising treasury functions, particularly within carve‑out, separation, or standalone environments.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence Boards, lenders, investors, and executive teams.
• Commercially minded, hands‑on, and execution‑focused, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced transformation environment.
• Flexible to travel across Europe as required.
