Are you passionate about driving financial strategy in a dynamic, purpose-driven organization? Do you thrive in multicultural environments and have a knack for managing complex treasury operations across borders? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

Enko Education seeks an experienced Treasury Manager to drive its financial strategy, optimize liquidity, and build strong banking relationships. We are looking for a hands-on treasury expert with a proven track record in managing treasury operations in dynamic, global environments.
Within your 5-10 years of experience in treasury management, you have successfully secured two-digit million-dollar financing, ideally within a holding company or a multi-country organization. You are a sharp financial strategist who understands how to manage short-term loans, structure financing, and build relationships with banks to secure large-scale funding.
Thriving in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, you are comfortable in a human-sized structure where agility and initiative are key. You embrace technology, leverage treasury management systems (TMS), and take a data-driven approach to optimizing liquidity and financial performance.
People usually describe you as Sherlock Holmes: detail-oriented to the core, you catch what others miss, ensuring every aspect of cash flow planning and treasury governance is accounted for. You anticipate challenges, propose solutions, and drive decisions independently.

An MBA or a Master’s in Finance, Accounting, or Economics is a strong asset, and certifications like CFA or CTP will set you apart. Fluency in English is a must; other languages are a plus.
Does this sound like you? If you see yourself in this description, we would love to hear from you.

What you will be doing:
As our Treasury Manager, you will take ownership of the group’s treasury operations and play a key role in shaping its financial strategy. You will ensure that our group’s financial resources are managed strategically and effectively, supporting our mission to make a lasting impact. Your responsibilities will include:

Managing cash flow:
- Develop, implement, and actively monitor cash flow plans to ensure financial sustainability.
- Identify and implement effective solutions for optimizing liquidity across subsidiaries.
Building strategic bank relationships:
- Establish and nurture relationships with financial institutions to support debt-raising activities.
- Secure financing solutions aligned with the organization’s growth objectives.
Driving treasury excellence:
- Design and execute a robust treasury management policy tailored to the group’s needs.
- Review and optimize governance, systems, and processes to enhance efficiency.
Leading the treasury committee:
- Organize and chair weekly group treasury management committee meetings, driving actionable outcomes.
Providing strategic insights:
- Prepare and deliver consolidated financial reports on treasury activities and key performance indicators.
- Proactively manage treasury operations to minimize capital costs and enhance financial efficiency.

Your background and experience:

5-10 years of experience in a similar role, ideally within a holding company or a multi-country organization.
Strong expertise in international treasury management, multi-currency transactions, and liquidity optimization.
Proven experience securing two-digit million-dollar financing with banks and structuring short-term loans.
Familiarity with treasury management systems (TMS) is a plus.
MBA or Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Economics.
Professional certifications such as CFA or CTP are a strong advantage.
Fluency in English is essential.

While experience in the education or service sector is an asset, we value fresh perspectives and transferable skills.
Ideally, your qualifications include a Master’s degree in finance, accounting, or economics, with professional certifications such as CFA or CTP being a strong advantage. Proficiency in English is essential, and familiarity with international compliance frameworks, particularly in Africa, ensures you navigate financial and tax regulations effectively.

À propos d'Enko Education

Enko Education est un réseau d'écoles internationales africaines en pleine expansion, qui accroît l'accès aux meilleures universités du monde pour les élèves en Afrique. Nos écoles facturent qu’une fraction des frais de scolarité d'autres écoles internationales en Afrique grâce à notre modèle innovant basé sur 3 piliers :

L’Afrique pour ancrage: en développant leur connaissance et fierté de leurs cultures africaines, nous les préparons à devenir les représentants et les promoteurs du continent à l'échelle mondiale.
Le Monde comme terrain de jeu : nous donnons les moyens à nos élèves de s'épanouir sur un terrain de jeu global, en reconnaissant sa richesse et sa diversité, et en étant capables de saisir les opportunités qu'il offre, grâce à des programmes menant à des qualifications reconnues au niveau mondial.
L’Avenir au quotidien : nos écoles sont tournées vers l'avenir et les apprenants sont soutenus dans leurs candidatures universitaires grâce à notre programme d'orientation universitaire unique. Nous développons notre modèle d'écoles internationales africaines dans une logique de co-construction avec notre communauté (parents et apprenants).

Avec plus de 5.400 élèves à ce jour dans nos écoles, le modèle Enko Education a déjà démontré des résultats impressionnants, avec des élèves admis dans des universités de renom comme l'Université de Yale (USA), l'Université de Pennsylvanie (USA), Sciences Po (France), l'Université de Toronto (Canada), l'African Leadership University (Rwanda) et bien d'autres encore.

Avec 14 écoles réparties dans 9 pays africains, Enko Education est le plus grand réseau de l'IB (Baccalauréat International) en Afrique. Nous avons l'ambition de dépasser 20.000 élèves dans au moins 15 pays africains dans les 4 prochaines années.
Nous avons clos avec succès une levée de fond (série B) en Mai 2022 et sommes financés par des institutions financières internationales telles que Proparco, I&P, OikoCredit, BIO, LiquidAfrica, Adiwale partners.

Les écoles d'Enko Education s'engagent à protéger les enfants et à promouvoir le bien-être des élèves et des jeunes ; nous attendons de l'ensemble du personnel, des bénévoles et des autres tiers qu'ils partagent cet engagement.
