This opportunity places you at the heart of groupwide cash generation, deployment, and optimisation, blending treasury, market analysis, investment assessment, and strategic planning.

• Interpret interest rate volatility, credit spreads, and FX exposures to translate market movements into actionable group-level implications.

• Evaluate alignment of the current portfolio with the group’s three-to-five-year strategic plan by identifying steady-state assumptions and areas for optimisation or capital redeployment.
• Facilitate scenarios where cash can be actively recycled between businesses rather than remaining idle to maximise value creation.
• Apply judgement to complex situations involving multiple factors between investment outcomes, identifying genuine issues or opportunities through analytical interpretation.
• Act as a trusted thought partner to the CFO by translating complex analysis into clear commercial insights that support executive decision-making.
• Continuously improve internal financial reporting processes by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, automation, and developing dashboards using visualisation tools.
