Head of Group Treasury (m/f/d)

Head of Group Treasury; Frankfurt Region; salary 200-250K€, good to great, operational excellence; liquidity & FX management; insurance & credit management, funding & people management

You will take ownership of a global treasury function and step into an environment where the already high bar is being raised deliberately. Corporate treasury functions but is lagging in comparison to peers. You will take the lead in this transition.

Reporting directly into the CFO, you will head the operational engine of the treasury organisation, responsible for execution, infrastructure, controls and team performance. You will be prominent in funding, not the deal captain. Without being comprehensive, this is what you focus on:

• Lead global liquidity management, cash pooling, intercompany funding and short- to medium-term forecasting across a complex multinational structure
• Own FX and interest rate risk management, including execution of hedging strategies across multiple volatile currencies
• Lead and develop a high-performing team of approximately 10+ treasury professionals
• Drive treasury transformation: process standardisation, automation and the ongoing SAP S/4HANA rollout
• Manage banking relationships and the broader banking infrastructure, including account structures and connectivity
• Oversee working capital financing solutions including factoring and supply chain finance, in close alignment with the PE ownership's working capital agenda
• Maintain treasury governance, controls, policies and audit readiness, including hedge accounting, derivative valuation and treasury disclosures
• Provide executive oversight of the global Credit Management Centre of Excellence, including customer credit risk governance, collections performance and cash conversion improvement
• Own the global insurance programme, including broker relationships, renewals and claims management

You bring 15 or more years of treasury experience in a multinational environment, with a strong track record in cash management, liquidity planning, treasury operations and banking infrastructure. Experience in a PE-backed company is an advantage, as is exposure to complex international financing structures. You have led and developed larger teams and know how to build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. Technically, you are comfortable with SAP S/4HANA, and you bring genuine expertise in FX hedging, derivative valuation and working capital optimisation. You think beyond your own remit, you see the broader picture, take ownership without being asked, and bring energy and positivity to the people around you. You are structured and disciplined in execution but entrepreneurial in mindset. Fluent English is mandatory, German is a plus.

The base salary is 200.000 - 250.000 €, complemented by a short-term incentive of 30%, plus a company car.

This is a confidential, exclusive search. Signing an NDA might be part of the process. There is further, detailed information that can be disclosed to candidates who qualify and are interested, perhaps relatively laten in the process.
