Treasury Associate, Cash Management & Working Capital
Location: Mumbai, India (Hybrid) Function: Finance / Treasury Employment type: Full-time Reporting Line: This role reports to the Treasury Lead and works closely with the broader Finance team, leadership, including the CFO, Controllers and FP&A.
About the Company We are a fast-growing B2B marketplace with a global footprint across the US, Europe, India and APAC. We connect businesses, streamline complex Diamond/Gemstones/and Jewelry supply chains, and process high transaction volumes across multiple currencies and payment rails. As we scale, best-in-class treasury and cash management are critical enablers of our growth.
Role Overview We are looking for a hands-on, analytical and curious Treasury Associate with a strong interest in cash management, cash flow forecasting and working capital optimisation.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys getting under the hood of how a business really works – investigating data, exploring underlying systems, understanding operational processes and connecting financial and operational drivers to actual and forecasted cash flows. We are looking for someone who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get into the details, seeing daily operations, investigations and problem-solving as opportunities to learn and gain a deeper understanding of the business. You should be comfortable challenging numbers, identifying root causes of discrepancies and finding ways to improve how we work.
The role combines daily treasury operations with the development and continuous improvement of treasury reporting, forecasting and planning processes. As our Treasury function continues to evolve, you will have the opportunity to actively contribute to establishing new processes, developing ways of working and building the tools and reporting capabilities needed to support a growing global business.

Working with data across different systems, you will help improve visibility, accuracy and automation across treasury processes.
Based in Mumbai, you will work closely with the global Treasury team, FP&A, Accounting, FinOps and local business teams.
