Senior Treasury Manager

Arriva is a leading provider of passenger transport across Europe, employing around 34,400 people and delivering approximately 1.6 billion passenger journeys each year. Through buses, trains, coaches, trams, waterbuses, bike-sharing systems, on-demand transport solutions and a rolling stock leasing business, we proudly connect people and communities safely, reliably and sustainably across 11 countries. Our purpose is simple: to deliver these services in a better way, every day.

With strong roots dating back to 1938, an ambitious growth agenda, and a continuously evolving relationship with our shareholder I Squared Capital (acquired in May 2024), this is an exciting time to join Arriva as we shape the next chapter of our journey.

We are seeking a Senior Treasury Manager to support the continued transformation and operational leadership of Arriva’s international Treasury function.

Arriva Treasury Company Limited provides treasury services across the Arriva Group, including funding, liquidity management, financial risk management, guarantees, and treasury systems management. Operating across an international environment, the team plays a critical role in supporting the Group’s strategic growth ambitions.

This role will operate on a hybrid working basis, with a minimum of three days per week based from our Sunderland (Doxford) office. The remaining time can be worked in a way that best supports business delivery while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the day-to-day operational delivery of the Group Treasury function, ensuring activities are managed in line with Treasury policies, governance frameworks, and regulatory requirements.
• Support the ongoing development and transformation of Treasury operations, including enhancement of the Treasury Management System (ION Reval) and optimisation of processes and controls.
• Oversee group cash management activities, including liquidity forecasting, cash pooling, intercompany funding, and longer-term funding planning.
• Support the management of debt facilities, covenant compliance, funding documentation, and shareholder governance requirements.
• Manage guarantee and collateral processes, ensuring accurate reporting, compliance, and effective facility management.
• Oversee Treasury risk activities including foreign exchange, interest rate exposure, and fuel hedging programmes, including support for IFRS hedge accounting requirements.
• Provide Treasury insight and assumptions to support budgeting, forecasting, and wider business planning activities.
• Drive improvements in Treasury reporting, operational efficiency, controls, and management information.
• Build strong relationships across the international Group, partnering with Finance teams, operational stakeholders, banks, auditors, and external providers.
