• Coordinate directly with banking partners on settlements, queries, and discrepancies, ensuring prompt and accurate resolution.
• Work closely with IT teams on system issues, process automation, and data and reporting requirements to enhance reconciliation efficiency and control.

Analysis & Control:

• Analyse transaction data to detect anomalies, root causes of breaks, and opportunities for process improvement.
• Support the strengthening of internal controls and the accuracy of treasury reporting through diligent investigation and documentation.

• Confident stakeholder management and professional communication skills, including the ability to articulate financial insights clearly.
• Comfortable coordinating directly with banks and collaborating with IT teams on systems, automation, and reporting.

Qualifications & Experience

• Extensive background in treasury operations, complex bank transaction management, and financial reconciliation.
• Relevant experience within a banking, telecom, or large corporate treasury/finance environment is preferred.
• A degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related discipline is desirable.
