loans for good.

Treasury@Athena

The Treasury team manages the funding and liquidity backbone of the business — built from the ground up since Athena's first balance-sheet loans to now having securitised over $10 billion in assets across warehouse, term RMBS programme and whole-loan sale structures. Operating with a small, highly skilled footprint, the team optimises capital efficiency, enables new products and ensures resilient access to funding markets through deep expertise and disciplined execution.

For an analyst, it's a unique opportunity to work hands-on across structured finance and

securitisation, engage with complex funding mechanics and collaborate closely with senior leaders across treasury, finance, risk, operations and product.

The Role

As a Treasury Analyst, you'll play a key role across Athena's funding operations, securitisation programme and financial markets activities. No two days are alike — the role blends operational execution with analytical depth and market engagement, providing strong foundations for growth into more senior treasury and structured-finance roles.

You will:

• Execute day-to-day treasury operations including portfolio and cashflow analysis, internal and external reporting, management of funder, investor, and trustee operational and data requirements — ensuring accuracy, timeliness and compliance with portfolio parameters, covenants, and legal documentation.
• Plan and execute mortgage asset transfers and debt programme transactions across Athena's warehouse and term funding programmes, liaising with external banks, rating agencies, lawyers and other external counterparties.
• Monitor and reconcile asset and liability positions, including modelling fixed rate risk and basis risk; support hedging transactions and assist with interest rate swap management and deal execution.
• Play an active role in developing Athena's trust management capabilities, including supporting the implementation and enhancement of treasury systems.
• Work alongside the Head of Funding Solutions to produce analysis and data reporting for senior management and the Board on liquidity, funding and other Treasury matters.
• Drive operational process improvement and support the Treasury Middle Office in identifying and implementing business and technology change across Treasury and Finance.
• Support Athena's Finance team as a Treasury SME, providing operational support for day-to-day enquiries, payment allocations, instructions, and reconciliations.

Who are we looking for?

• Currently working as a Treasury Analyst (or equivalent role) with 2+ years' direct experience in asset-backed funding or securitisation environments. Experience in mortgage-backed securities and RMBS programmes is particularly valued.
• Relevant tertiary qualification in Finance, Accounting, Economics or a related quantitative field.
• Sound understanding of funding, liquidity, and risk management across securitisation structures, with practical knowledge of Treasury functions and Financial Markets. Experience with interest rate swaps, FX, and derivatives is preferred.
• Strong applied Excel capability, with experience building analytical models, reconciliations and repeatable reporting. SQL skills and exposure to treasury systems (particularly Perpetual's TFI platform) are highly regarded.
• Excellent communication and numerical reasoning skills, with strong attention to detail and comfort dealing directly with external financial market participants.
• Self-directed, organised, and energised by a fast-paced, hands-on environment with a small team and flat structure.

Benefits & Perks

• Inclusive, flexible and casual working environment
• Hybrid working with HQ anchor days in award-winning office space
• Wellbeing program supporting physical, mental, social and financial health
• Perks program with access to discounts on everyday expenses
• Fantastic team culture with regular team events

You'll be joining an experienced team that's passionate about being best-in-class in everything we do. We have a relaxed and fun atmosphere where you can bring your unique self and skills to help us all grow together.

At Athena, we are committed to a workplace that embraces diversity, equality, and inclusion. Athenians are free to let their own brand of freak fly
