Vice President, Infrastructure Treasury and Guarantee Capacity

The mandate

An infrastructure contractor's reported cash and undrawn facilities overstate the funding actually available to meet project obligations. Restricted accounts, collateral commitments and delayed guarantee cancellation consume different parts of its bank capacity. The Vice President will lead continuing treasury ownership of usable liquidity and instrument capacity, ensuring payment and funding decisions rely on permissions and conditions that can actually be executed.

The financial operating picture must connect cash accessibility to the specific project and entity holding it. A balance may support local costs but not a transfer to another contract; a facility may be nominally available while its utilisation requires an unmet condition. Treasury will obtain the relevant banking, legal and operating evidence before consolidating those amounts into headroom. Project finance teams remain responsible for realistic receipt and expenditure information.

Guarantee release demands active coordination rather than a date copied from the original instrument. Customer certification, bank acknowledgement and collateral discharge can occur separately, while revised project conditions may extend exposure unexpectedly. The VP will establish a reliable operating register and escalation route with contract and bank owners. The purpose is accurate capacity planning and controlled execution, not independent determination of a customer's legal entitlement to retain an instrument.

Within CFO-approved limits, the executive directs treasury staffing, bank operations and authorised liquidity deployment. New borrowing, security creation, material instrument extensions and policy exceptions require designated approval. Qualified specialists retain foreign-exchange policy, cross-border compliance interpretation and legal advice where those decisions sit outside operational treasury delegation. Speculative trading, unapproved entity guarantees and independent contract settlement are excluded from the role.

This permanent employment relationship is open-ended. Its first eighteen months establish a dependable accessible-liquidity view, instrument release discipline and funding contingency routines tested with actual bank conditions. Thereafter the VP maintains those capabilities through changing project demands and facility structures. Success means finance can explain both the resources available and the conditions preventing use, with an experienced treasury team able to act inside clear authority instead of relying on informal banker assurances.

What you will own

• Establish a usable-liquidity register by entity and project account, verifying restrictions and operating minimums before balances are included in the resources available for a proposed payment or transfer.
• Decide treasury operating priorities through credible project funding needs and legal accessibility, recording the reason for authorised allocation choices when several contracts compete for limited executable liquidity.
• Govern facility availability checks through utilisation conditions, collateral and instrument sublimits, preventing nominal undrawn amounts from being reported as dependable funding when bank requirements remain unmet.
• Build a guarantee and collateral release workflow with contract and bank owners, tracking certification, cancellation acknowledgement and actual discharge separately so forecasts reflect the stage that unlocks usable capacity.
• Lead short-term funding contingencies and bank communication within delegation, presenting approved options and their conditions rather than assume an informal facility assurance will survive a project cash delay.
• Reconcile treasury instructions and settlement evidence through independent review, strengthening access, approval and banking controls while escalating local arrangements that cannot meet the required segregation standard.
• Develop treasury managers through live restriction and release cases, testing their ability to explain availability and secure accountable source evidence without bypassing specialist or CFO approval boundaries.

Candidate qualifications

• Demonstrate senior infrastructure, EPC or comparable project treasury leadership with direct operational funding responsibility. Describe liquidity or facility headroom that proved unavailable for its intended use, the restriction you established and the decision that followed. The role requires judgement about executable resources, not only production of a consolidated bank-balance report or participation in a financing transaction.
• Bring applied knowledge of guarantees, collateral and project bank arrangements, including the conditions that determine cancellation and usable capacity. Explain an instrument whose forecast release moved, how you distinguished customer, bank and discharge events and how treasury changed its funding plan. Contractual interpretation may require legal advice, but you must understand which fact an operating decision still needs to verify.
• Show strong cash forecasting, access control and treasury reconciliation discipline across entities. Relevant evidence should separate realistic operating inputs from approval and transfer permissions, preserve settlement review and make exceptions traceable. Describe a situation where urgent project demand did not justify a banking shortcut, the authorised alternative chosen and the control evidence retained for subsequent review.
• Establish a record of leading treasury staff and influencing project and bank counterparts calmly under funding pressure. This VP needs continuing operating accountability and practical succession capability. Provide an escalation you personally led, the material decision retained by the CFO or governance body and the later outcome used to improve liquidity assumptions and instrument management rather than merely congratulate a temporary funding solution.
