1 Share of the corporate treasurer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bank treasurer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A corporate treasurer role treats 11 of its required skills as things a bank treasurer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

analyse financial performance of a company
analyse market financial trends
create a financial plan
evaluate budgets
financial analysis
financial forecasting

What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A corporate treasurer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bank treasurer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held treasury management system business, administration and law
already held manage corporate bank accounts management skills
already held liquidity management business, administration and law
already held evaluate budgets management skills
already held investment analysis business, administration and law
already held financial analysis business, administration and law

All 16 carried skills, including the 11 the corporate treasurer role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
