Are you passionate about driving financial strategy in a dynamic, purpose-driven organization? Do you thrive in multicultural environments and have a knack for managing complex treasury operations across borders? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!
Enko Education seeks an experienced Treasury Manager to drive its financial strategy, optimize liquidity, and build strong banking relationships. We are looking for a hands-on treasury expert with a proven track record in managing treasury operations in dynamic, global environments.
Within your 5-10 years of experience in treasury management, you have successfully secured two-digit million-dollar financing, ideally within a holding company or a multi-country organization. You are a sharp financial strategist who understands how to manage short-term loans, structure financing, and build relationships with banks to secure large-scale funding.
Thriving in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, you are comfortable in a human-sized structure where agility and initiative are key. You embrace technology, leverage treasury management systems (TMS), and take a data-driven approach to optimizing liquidity and financial performance.
People usually describe you as Sherlock Holmes: detail-oriented to the core, you catch what others miss, ensuring every aspect of cash flow planning and treasury governance is accounted for. You anticipate challenges, propose solutions, and drive decisions independently.
An MBA or a Master’s in Finance, Accounting, or Economics is a strong asset, and certifications like CFA or CTP will set you apart. Fluency in English is a must; other languages are a plus.
Does this sound like you? If you see yourself in this description, we would love to hear from you.
