About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Conduct a deep-dive analysis of operational data from 2022 to the present. Categorize and quantify specific events (e.g., quality holds, supply chain disruptions, launch delays) that have historically necessitated a higher cash buffer.
Calculate the "true cost" to the enterprise of holding excess cash. Translate operational disruptions into specific financial impacts on working capital and liquidity.
Identify 3–5 specific financial or working capital enablers to mitigate cash outflows. This includes exploring levers such as adjusting supplier payment terms during inventory holds or financial mitigations for delayed vehicle launches.
Define the exact operational and financial conditions required for Treasury to safely lower the global cash target. Map every dollar of proposed reduction to a specific, required change in business operations.
Translate complex working capital data into clear, evidence-based presentations for Treasury leadership to use in cross-functional reviews with the broader business.
