Many treasury professionals participate in our Treasury Salary Survey, providing insights into salaries across all levels—from entry-level roles right up to Group and Global Treasurers.
Understanding the Key Differences
One of the most common questions we get is: What’s the difference between a Group Treasurer and a Global Treasurer?
The answer comes down to scope and scale:
Group Treasurer – Typically oversees treasury for a domestic or regional business. For example, I’ve worked with Group Treasurers in UK-based housing associations whose teams are smaller and focused on local operations.
Global Treasurer – Leads large treasury teams across multiple regions or continents. Imagine managing treasury for a multinational with 80+ treasury professionals across five continents—that’s a different level of responsibility.
Why We Now Separate These Roles in Our Survey
Historically, some professionals listed themselves as “Treasurer,” but upon validation, they were more aligned with a Treasury Director role. This is why we now distinguish between Group and Global Treasurers in our salary survey.
