What does a Treasury Manager do?

A Treasury Manager supports treasury operations and financial strategy. The job description typically includes:

• Cash flow forecasting and liquidity management
• Cash management and reconciliations
• Supporting treasury management systems (TMS)
• Monitoring FX exposure and hedging
• Preparing reports for internal stakeholders
• Supporting automation and process improvement

Treasury Managers often work full-time and collaborate closely with senior stakeholders across finance, tax and risk management. Strong problem-solving skills, communication skills and Excel proficiency are essential.
