This is a role within the Castrol organisation and the successful candidate will become part of the Castrol ring-fence.  If you are part of the ring-fence, it is expected that your employment will move with Castrol to new ownership.

Please note that roles based out of SJS or Sunbury will move to Timber Square, Southwark, from Q4 2027

The role:

Castrol are seeking a highly analytical and motivated Cash Analyst to play a critical role in safeguarding daily cash flows and shaping the future of liquidity management across our global business. This role sits at the heart of Castrol’s financial engine and directly supports our “Onward, Upward, Forward” strategy by ensuring the business is well funded, resilient and positioned for growth.

As part of the Cash Management team, you will help to oversee Castrol’s global cash and liquidity position – from daily cash visibility through to medium-term (three-month) liquidity forecasting and planning. Working closely with the Cash Manager and local markets, you will contribute to the consolidated daily cash position, mid-term liquidity outlook, and funding decisions, including activity at the Castrol treasury centre.

This is a unique opportunity to join a newly formed Treasury function, offering genuine scope to shape how things are done. You will contribute to the design of reporting, processes, and ways of working, while also helping to build out the capability of a growing team. If you are excited by the prospect of influencing a developing function, this role offers significant breadth and ownership.

Castrol is a $10bn+ global business, and this role sits within a Treasury team of around ten people. As Cash Analyst, you will support daily cash positioning by analysing cash forecasts, tracking forecast-to-actual performance, and identifying funding requirements to maintain optimal liquidity across the group. You will also play a key role in delivering and continuously improving three-month liquidity and cash forecasts, working closely with finance teams across regions and markets.

Technology and data are central to the ambition of the function. You will help develop systems and tools to enhance forecasting accuracy, optimise liquidity management, and generate meaningful insights from Castrol’s data. In addition, the role provides exposure to policy development, stress testing, and senior-level reporting, offering strong visibility and learning opportunities within Treasury.

What you’ll deliver:

Leveraging your knowledge and experience across corporate treasury operations, systems, policies, and procedures, you will play a key role in establishing and operating Castrol’s standalone Treasury function. Acting as a trusted partner to finance teams and business stakeholders, you will provide insight, clarity, and challenge to support effective cash and liquidity decision-making across the organization.

Key responsibilities include:

• Deliver clear, accurate analysis of cash forecasts to support daily and short-term liquidity planning, enabling informed funding decisions across the business
• Partner with finance teams to track forecast-versus-actual cash movements, proactively highlighting variances, underlying drivers, and opportunities for improvement
• Generate funding requirement insights from cash forecasts to support timely and well-structured funding decisions
• Provide a comprehensive, currency-level view of daily funding requests from business units, ensuring transparency and consistency across regions
• Identify surplus cash positions across entities and work with stakeholders to support upstreaming activities within intercompany funding frameworks
• Produce high‑quality standard reports and analytical insights that enable teams and senior stakeholders to understand, review, and act on cash and liquidity data
• Execute daily short‑term cash positioning activities, supporting the effective management and protection of Castrol’s multi‑currency cash flows
• Maintain and enhance the funding request tool by onboarding additional businesses and working with users to ensure accurate, consistent, and efficient request processes

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in treasury cash management activities
• Experience in analysing financial risks (e.g. FX)
• Experience in operational process improvement
• Experience in dealing and negotiating with banks
• Academic background preferred- Finance, economics, engineering, data science
• Good knowledge of processes and financial data flows of ERPs
• Development experience with data visualization tools (i.e. Power BI, Tableau) and data analytics tools (e.g. SSMS SQL, Python, DAX, RegEx, Dataiku)
• Interest in staying abreast with financial market developments and being able to understand their impact on the business (Rates, FX, Credit, Commodity prices etc.)
• Strong English language knowledge
• Confidence to take decisions based on training and problem-solving skills.
• Strong organizational and time management skills, including the ability to work independently under tight deadlines and pressure and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Excellent problem-solving capability
• Strong attention to detail

Why this role matters:

We’re at a turning point for Castrol. Joining us now means you’ll help shape how our treasury function operates for years to come. You’ll work with a small, collaborative team, gain exposure to senior leaders and play a direct role in Castrol’s transition to a standalone business.
