Treasury Manager

About Korridor

Korridor is a fast-growing, multi-territory FinTech company operating across 13 jurisdictions in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are building a people-first organisation where culture is lived, not just stated, and where HR is a genuine business partner, not a back-office function.

The over 400 people in this business are what make everything else possible. As we scale, we are investing in a world-class team.

Role Overview

The Treasury Manager runs Korridor's treasury engine room day to day and reports on it. Following the decision to merge the Treasury Manager and Treasury Analyst into one post, the role owns the daily operation, daily reporting to the Senior Financial Manager and Group CFO, and guidance of the treasury team. It is deliberately pitched as an operational manager rather than a strategic treasurer: the person in this seat is expected to stay close enough to the work to step into the payment approval queue as backup when cover is needed, identify where the daily routine is slow, manual or fragile, and propose practical improvements. Improvements are implemented with the Senior Financial Manager, who carries the treasury governance agenda. Eleven countries, twelve banking channels and a Mauritius hub.

What You'll Do

1. Run the daily treasury operation

– Own the daily cycle end to end: the daily sheet, planning sheet, payment run and bank-deposit windows, and make sure it lands on time every day.

– Approve the daily funding decision, daily payment plan, cash concentration and sweeping, and the daily Investec approval and unencumbered-funds notification.

– Review the outputs that gate the run: plan finalisation, provisions and adjustments, and the trade sheet.

– Hold the operational relationship with the banks across twelve channels: queries, fees, account administration, mandates and signatories.

– Keep operating procedures current and detailed enough that interim cover can perform the task.

2. Report daily, upward and outward

– Produce the daily report to the Senior Financial Manager and Group CFO: cash position by country and currency, what moved, what is short and what needs a decision.

– Produce the daily and weekly cash forecast, the 13-week rolling view, and country- and currency-specific views where exchange control means cash is not freely fungible.

– Run the forecast-versus-actual variance loop back to contributors so forecast accuracy improves rather than the forecast simply being produced.

– Produce the treasury KPI and performance pack and actuals cash-flow reporting for the Group CFO and board.

– Report FX exposure and execution quality, including rate achieved against benchmark by bank and by trade.

3. Back up the payment approvals

– Act as second approver on payment approval and release, above the Team Leader, across TRX and the banking channels.

– Step into the approval queue as backup when the Team Leader is on leave, ill or at capacity; this is an expectation of the role, not an exception.

– Approve FX execution against the funding requirement. The Team Leader deals; the Treasury Manager authorises, keeping dealing and authorisation separate.

– Approve static data and system-access administration, kept separate from transacting.

4. Guide the team

– Line-manage the Treasury Team Leader and, through them, three Payment Controllers: coaching, performance and one consistent way of working across the desk.

– Allocate and follow up the daily work and make sure exceptions are visible rather than absorbed quietly.

– Build the bench: named cover for every critical daily task so no step depends on one person.

– Be the escalation point the controllers actually use.

5. Find the improvements and land them with the Senior Financial Manager

– Spot where the daily routine is manual, slow or fragile and put forward a costed suggestion rather than a complaint.

– Work with the Senior Financial Manager to implement automation of repetitive daily work, straight-through processing for routine items, and bank connectivity through host-to-host feeds and APIs.
