• Build and maintain high-quality relationships with banking partners and financial institutions

• Manage trade finance activities end-to-end — guarantees, letters of credit, project financing — ensuring strict compliance with Group policies and regulatory requirements

• Define and enforce Group-wide operational standards: procedures, controls, and best practices that apply across all entities and geographies
• Support local treasury teams in the effective use of treasury tools (placements, cash forecasts) — acting as a centre of excellence, not just a helpdesk
