Treasury Manager

Who we are

The role

Helsing is growing rapidly, and the financial infrastructure that underpins that growth needs to be as resilient and forward-thinking as the technology we build. As Treasury Manager, you will own the liquidity and financial risk posture of the company — ensuring Helsing remains solvent, efficiently financed, and well-positioned for major strategic milestones. Reporting directly to the Global Finance Director, this is a high-visibility, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of day-to-day financial operations and long-term capital strategy. You will serve as the central point of contact for Helsing's banking and financial partners, and work in close collaboration with Accounting, Controlling, Corporate Development, and senior leadership. Beyond operational excellence, you will actively shape the digitisation and automation of Helsing's treasury function — building the processes and systems that will scale with the company through its next phase of growth.

The day-to-day

• Own short-, medium-and long-term liquidity planning at both entity and group level, continuously refining forecasts to keep the business informed and solvent

• Play an active role in M&A financing activity, developing and structuring financing models to support acquisitions and post-merger treasury integration

• Manage daily cash flows, administer the global bank account portfolio, and oversee cash pooling arrangements across jurisdictions

• Identify, evaluate and actively mitigate financial risks — particularly currency and interest rate exposures — through the use of appropriate hedging instruments

• Build and strategically develop relationships with national and international banking partners, including negotiating terms, facilities, and conditions

• Support the structuring and procurement of external financing instruments (e.g. syndicated loans, guarantees, letters of credit) and manage intercompany financing arrangements

• Own the treasury system landscape, including the Treasury Management System (TMS), and drive automation of reporting and payment processes to reduce manual overhead

• Produce high-quality treasury reports, liquidity analyses, and dashboards that give management and external stakeholders clear, timely financial intelligence

You should apply if you

• Have substantive experience in a corporate treasury function within an international company, or in a relevant banking environment such as corporate or transaction banking

• Have deep practical knowledge of cash management, international payment transactions, and financial risk hedging — and can demonstrate having applied this in complex, multi-entity environments

• Are proficient in one or more leading Treasury Management Systems (e.g. Kyriba, FIS, Bellin/Coupa, SAP TRM) and comfortable navigating ERP systems such as SAP

• Have contributed to significant capital or financing events — such as external debt structuring or M&A financing — and can take ownership of those workstreams end-to-end

• Bring a strong analytical approach and meticulous attention to detail, balanced with a pragmatic, solutions-focused mindset that keeps pace with a fast-moving organisation

• Are fluent in both English and German, enabling you to operate effectively across Helsing's international stakeholder landscape

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to Have

• Experience independently scoping, selecting, and implementing a new Treasury Management System from the ground up

• Familiarity with capital market transaction structuring, or hands-on experience in M&A treasury integration (e.g. consolidating bank structures post-acquisition)

• Professional treasury or finance qualifications such as CTP or CFA

• Prior experience working in a defence, deep tech, or high-growth technology environment

Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity.
