Senior Analyst

Role & responsibilities

Cash Flow Optimization & Interest Cost Reduction

• Analyze the client's current Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) to identify bottlenecks trapping capital.
• Develop strategies to release trapped cash, directly reducing the reliance on external working capital limits (CC/OD limits) and lowering interest expenses.
• Implement "Cash Culture" initiatives to minimize idle cash in non-interest-bearing accounts.

Inventory Management (Cost of Carrying)

• Conduct ABC/XYZ analysis to identify slow-moving and obsolete inventory (SLOB) and devise liquidation strategies to recover sunk costs.
• Optimize safety stock levels and reorder points to reduce warehousing, insurance, and handling costs without impacting service levels.
• Transition clients toward Just-In-Time (JIT) or Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) models where feasible to shift holding costs to suppliers.

Accounts Payable (P2P) Strategic Sourcing & Savings

• Analyze vendor contracts to identify missed "Early Payment Discounts" versus the cost of capital.
• Consolidate vendor bases to negotiate better payment terms (e.g., extending DPO from 45 to 60 days) effectively treating payables as zero-cost financing.
• Identify duplicate payments and invoice errors using data analytics to immediately recover lost funds.

Accounts Receivable (O2C) Bad Debt & Admin Cost Reduction

• Revamp credit policies to reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), thereby shrinking the interest burden on receivables.
• Implement automated dunning and collection processes to reduce the administrative cost of the collections team.
• Analyze customer profitability to identify clients where the "cost to serve" (freight, credit terms) outweighs the margin, recommending pricing adjustments or contract termination.

Supply Chain Finance & Banking Optimization

• Structure and implement Supply Chain Finance (Reverse Factoring) solutions to reduce vendor financing costs and stabilize the supply chain.

Preferred candidate profile

We are seeking a data-driven Working Capital Consultant who views the balance sheet as a tool for profitability. In this role, you will not just "manage" cash; you will unlock trapped liquidity and directly impact the clients bottom line. Your primary mandate is to identify cash leakage, reduce the cost of capital, and implement structural cost-saving measures across the Order-to-Cash (O2C), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and Forecast-to-Fulfill (F2F) cycles.
