Treasury Manager

A job at Proximus? You’ll find that everything revolves around the idea ‘Think Possible’. This means: we always assume that something is possible, even if it seems impossible. Well, especially so, actually. Call it a way of thinking that involves being open to a world of digital solutions that make our lives easier. And our way of working smarter.

Positioning of the job

The Proximus Group Corporate Treasury team is the place where the customer payments come in and mostly go out again in the form of supplier payments, salaries, taxes, interests, dividends, etc. We are also the sole team responsible for negotiating and concluding financial transactions for Proximus and its subsidiaries (e.g. with banks and intermediaries, on the international exchange, money and capital markets), as well as for reporting, monitoring and following up these transactions. We ensure the company always has sufficient liquidity to meet the financial obligations of the Group and we manage financial market risks with due diligence.

In a nutshell: our mission is to ensure that the right amounts are always available in the right currency, at the right time, in the right place, and at the right cost, in order to maximize profits and minimize financial costs.

We are one of the smaller and lesser known teams in the Finance community, but we are on the crossroads of all finance disciplines and we are in constant contact with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

Today, we are looking for a new Treasury Manager to complete the team.
