The location of this role is flexible across Africa, with a strong preference for one of Enko Education's countries of operation.
Ready to take ownership of treasury operations and help build something from the ground up?
At Enko Education , we're on a mission to increase access to world-class education for talented learners across Africa. As a fast-growing network of international schools operating across 11 African countries , we're continuously evolving the way we work to support our ambitions.
We're now embarking on an exciting new chapter: the creation and deployment of our Shared Service Centre (SSC) , bringing together treasury, finance, and accounts payable operations into a more streamlined, efficient structure.
To help make this happen, we're looking for a Group Treasury Analyst & Project Lead who combines strong financial expertise with an entrepreneurial mindset.
This is an opportunity to go beyond traditional treasury reporting. You'll take ownership of key financial operations, contribute to building processes from scratch, and help shape the way treasury works across a growing pan-African organization.
If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, taking initiative, and turning ideas into action, we'd love to hear from you.
Your Mission
Reporting directly to the Group Treasurer , you'll have a dual mission: owning day-to-day group treasury operations and playing a hands-on role in the implementation of our new Shared Service Centre.
You'll be responsible for ensuring reliable financial data, managing liquidity forecasts, maintaining strong treasury controls, and helping establish efficient, scalable processes across our schools and entities.
This role calls for someone who can see both the big picture and the details. Someone who is comfortable navigating a fast-moving environment, making informed decisions, challenging assumptions, and driving projects forward with a high degree of autonomy.
You'll be joining a lean, agile team at a pivotal moment, where you'll have the opportunity to shape structures and processes rather than simply inherit them.
What You'll Be Working On
1. Build & Implement Our Shared Service Centre
Play an active role in creating the financial infrastructure that will support Enko's next phase of growth.
Design and deploy processes: Partner with the Group Treasurer to develop, document, and implement treasury workflows, policies, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the new SSC.
Drive continuous improvement: Identify gaps in local school reporting, propose practical solutions, and help transition operations toward consistent, centralized treasury standards.
Support change management: Act as a key point of contact for local School Finance Partners, facilitating their onboarding and training on new processes and systems.
2. Drive Cash Flow Forecasting & Liquidity Management
Take ownership of the information and analysis that support our group's financial decisions.
Own the forecasts: Lead and maintain the 12-week rolling cash flow forecast across all schools and holding entities.
Ensure data reliability: Review financial submissions from School Finance Partners, challenge assumptions, investigate inconsistencies, and ensure high-quality, reliable financial information.
Support financial decision-making: Prepare and co-lead weekly cash committee meetings, providing clear insights into group cash positions, actual vs. forecast variances, accounts payable ageing, and proposed payment runs.
3. Oversee Debt Management & Compliance
Help ensure our financial commitments are accurately tracked, anticipated, and managed.
Maintain debt visibility: Own and reconcile the Group Master Debt Schedule against Xero and underlying loan agreements, tracking principal repayments, interest schedules, and maturities.
Support lender relations: Ensure debt service obligations are accurately incorporated into liquidity forecasts and contribute to the preparation of lender reporting packs.
