The Successful Group Head of Treasury
The ideal Head of Treasury will come from a similar role within a multi-entity insurance organisation, have built up divisions from the ground up, have experience in utilising cash and cash assets of a large organisation, and be accustomed to working directly with CFO level.

It is also important that you have worked within a Private Equity backed organisation with solid exposure to M&A activity, as well as have an entrepreneurial nature.

Communication skills are key, and as a visible role in a large organisation, you will have a lot of interaction with senior stakeholders, including Private Equity Houses.

Naturally formal qualifications will be important, so the ideal candidate will be a Fully Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) and / or a Treasury qualification (i.e. AMCT).
