Global Treasury manages Lilly's worldwide liquidity, cash positions, and banking infrastructure to fund operations, R&D, and strategic initiatives. The function leads cash forecasting and working capital optimisation, manages global banking relationships, executes funding and capital markets strategies, oversees foreign exchange and interest rate risk, and drives treasury system implementation.

This is a newly designed role and the regional lead for cash management, working capital governance, and treasury transformation across roughly sixty markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. You will own regional liquidity and banking strategy, act as the senior treasury counterpart for affiliate finance leadership, and work with your counterpart covering the Americas to set global working capital standards.

The scope is broad and it will keep moving. As automation matures, the role shifts from execution toward oversight, freeing you to focus on banking strategy, regulatory complexity, and transformation. It suits a high-performing professional with clear career ambition, analytical depth and interpersonal range in equal measure, and the appetite to grow with Treasury's agenda.

• Regional liquidity. Own cash positioning, account funding, concentration, and pooling strategy across both regions, securing working capital for affiliates while optimising returns on excess balances.
• Forecasting and scenario planning. Own forecasting governance on accuracy and timeliness, and build scenario models that support liquidity decisions and surface risks early.
• Banking strategy. Rationalise and optimise the regional transactional banking footprint, evaluate bank products, and drive fee transparency and renegotiation.
• Complex markets. Resolve exceptional banking issues where sovereign and regulatory complexity is high: capital controls, hyperinflation, and sanctions exposure.
• Working capital governance. Build deep insight into receivables, payables, inventory, rebates, and cash taxes. Run DSO, DPO, and DOS governance, and turn root causes into action with O2C, P2P, Tax, and FP&A.
• Senior partnership. Act as the primary Treasury voice on working capital with affiliate CFOs, co-develop global policy, and represent the regional reality in global governance forums.
• Transformation and automation. Lead treasury system and banking platform change, process harmonisation, advanced analytics, the move to exception-based reporting, and well-governed adoption of AI-enabled tools.
• Controls and close. Run month-end close and reporting for regional cash management, maintain policies and escalation paths, and ensure compliance with SOX and internal and statutory audits.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field, or equivalent experience. Master's or MBA prefe
