About the role
The Corporate Finance team responsibilities can be split broadly into two categories, externally and internally focused. Externally, the team manages Hale’s debt capital structure, funding strategy, and liquidity risk; as well as responsibility for managing relationships with external stakeholders including banks, credit rating agencies and debt investors. Internally the team has responsibility for group forecasting, management and external reporting related to net debt, leverage, net finance costs and other Treasury metrics. This also includes responsibility for coordinating materials for Hale’s Treasury Risk Committee, chaired by the CFO.
The Corporate Finance Manager has operational (day-to-day) responsibility for most of the activities mentioned above but should have the technical and written skills to contribute to the development of future financing strategies and the preparation of Board committee documents, ultimately supporting the Corporate Finance Director in making informed and faster decisions in the execution of Treasury strategy.
