JOB PURPOSE/KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Treasury Transformation Project is a strategic project within Corporate Treasury focused on obtaining group benefits through optimization of GSK banking infrastructure via rationalization of numbers of bank account globally, simplification of liquidity structures and standardization payment methods through In-House Cash Centre in SAP. This project will be running alongside the finalization of the roll out of Global ERP with Brazil (CERPS) and various Manufacturing sites (M-ERP).
This role will be accountable for allocated deployment Waves under the Global ERP Program. Treasury is accountable for banking relationship, so this role will work closely with the applicable banks to facilitate the deployment. The role will be focused on supporting the design, the documentation and to a lesser extent implementation of the banking changes required to support the above strategic initiatives. It will furthermore focus on changes related to pre-assembly initiatives for the later implementation of a new TMS system, but responsibilities may extend in the future into supporting further initiatives related to the Treasury Transformation Project.
This role will:
• Be supporting Global Cash Management, Local Operating Companies (LOCs) and Global ERP in analysing local business requirements and agreeing the final solution design within existing governance processes and standard operating models.

• Identify legacy accounts unsupported by the future state target operating model and coordinate their closure in corporation with the Treasury Operations and Global Treasury Consultancy team in accordance with the project timelines.
• Support the design of the global banking structures aligned with the Treasury processes and consistent with Treasury strategies
