Corporate Finance & Treasury Analyst

Role Overview

This position sits at the intersection of corporate finance and treasury, giving you ownership of both high-stakes analytical projects and the operational rhythms that keep the group's funding and liquidity running smoothly. You will support the Corporate Finance Manager by building models, monitoring lender covenants, supporting fundraising, and at the same time managing receivables financing, cash sweeps, debt service, and foreign-exchange execution across multiple African markets. Your work directly protects the group's financial stability, ensuring that funding agreements are honored, cash shortfalls are flagged early, and every dollar of eligible receivables is converted into usable liquidity.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain financial models used for fundraising, strategic planning, investment evaluations, and medium-to-long-term liquidity forecasting, including scenario, sensitivity, and stress testing to surface risks and opportunities.
• Track, calculate, and project covenant compliance across all lending facilities, prepare formal compliance certificates, and deliver scheduled reports, presentations, and dashboards for lenders, investors, and financial partners.
• Support debt and equity fundraising processes by preparing investor materials, due diligence documentation, and term-sheet impact analyses that quantify how proposed structures affect capital position, cash flows, and covenant headroom.
• Manage monthly receivables sales into special-purpose vehicles across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, and Zambia, coordinate daily cash sweeps, and oversee eligibility testing to maximize advance rates against eligible receivables.
• Consolidate country-level cash forecasts into a group rolling forecast, challenge submitted assumptions, explain variances, and maintain cash generation and cash conversion KPI reporting by country and channel.
• Produce weekly liquidity flash reports, governance packs, and cash dashboards, while monitoring minimum cash thresholds and escalating projected shortfalls to the appropriate leadership immediately.
• Maintain the group's debt register, calculate and schedule interest and principal payments, execute currency conversions and hedging within the approved mandate, and administer bank accounts, mandates, signatories, KYC files, and platform access across entities.
• Track counterparty exposure against approved limits and review bank charges against agreed tariffs to ensure costs remain controlled and compliant.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, business administration, or a related field.
• CFA, CPA, ACCA, CA, or an equivalent recognized qualification is mandatory.
• A treasury certification such as ACT CertT/AMCT, CTP, or an equivalent is a strong advantage.
• 5–8 years of professional experience spanning both corporate finance analysis and treasury or finance operations; candidates with depth in only one area are unlikely to succeed.
• Strong financial modeling, valuation, and corporate finance skills, with the ability to translate complex assumptions into clear outputs for decision-makers.
• Hands-on experience operating banking platforms and executing settlements and treasury transactions within controlled, automated environments.
• Proven ability to work across multiple currencies, legal entities, and banking jurisdictions, with prior exposure to structured finance, securitization, or receivables financing structures strongly preferred.
• Experience in emerging markets, including familiarity with mobile money and local currency control regimes, is an advantage.

What We Offer / Why Join

• Competitive remuneration that reflects the dual nature of the role and the value you bring to the group.
• Comprehensive medical cover to support your health and well-being.
• A pension scheme designed to help you build long-term financial security.
