Interim Head of Treasury

London (hybrid, three days a week in office). Available to start September.

Up to £130k, bonus and benefits.

We are retained on a search for an Interim Head of Treasury to join a multi-jurisdiction, consumer-facing European group on a six-month fixed-term contract. The role bridges the departure of the current Head of Treasury and the arrival of a permanent successor. Conversion to permanent is a genuine option for the right person, but not a requirement on either side.

Reporting into the Director of Tax and Treasury, the interim will take end-to-end ownership of operational treasury across the group's UK and European entities, working alongside one direct report and a mature wider finance function. A four to six week handover with the outgoing incumbent is planned ahead of a firm October exit.

The function is well set up. A modern TMS is in place and integrated with banks across all markets, a short-term AI-enabled forecasting tool is roughly half built, and the wider finance environment is established. The interim inherits it in flight and keeps it moving.

The role

• Own short-term cash liquidity forecasting and inter-entity cash movement across the group, ensuring supplier and salary payments land in the right accounts, in the right currencies, on time. This is the number one priority.
• Execute the group's FX hedging programme, currently focused on straightforward forward contracts to support international supplier payments.
• Complete and embed the group's 13-week AI-enabled forecasting tool, currently in build with the outgoing incumbent.
• Manage banking relationships and short-term deposit activity across the group's cash portfolio.
• Provide oversight and direction to one direct report handling the bulk of transactional treasury activity.
• Hand over cleanly to the permanent hire when they land.

About you

• Hands-on operational treasury professional with strong multi-entity, multi-currency experience.
• Comfortable dropping into a mid-market environment and holding it together without heavy support or process.
• Familiar with modern TMS environments; GTreasury exposure is a plus.
• Ideally has held a Head of Treasury or Interim Head of Treasury seat previously and can hit the ground running.
• Personality with backbone. This role holds its own with country operators across multiple geographies.
• Available at short notice.

Engagement and process

Six-month fixed-term contract. Genuine option to convert to permanent for the right individual.
