Charlie Rockingham

Serving as the primary point of contact for CFOs and treasury teams at FTSE-listed companies, I manage a dedicated client book to meet their complex cash management needs. I liaise with a panel of 51 banks, external partners, and advisers to arrange and obtain optimal outcomes for each client. My strong initiative and success in this role led to my promotion from Corporate Clients Associate to Relationship Manager. My responsibilities now extend to leading key internal and external meetings and representing the company at major industry conferences, including the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT). Furthermore, I generate and analyse performance reports to aid senior decision-making and present fortnightly updates on team activity, strategic goals, and achievements to the entire company of c. 160 employees.

I worked as a labourer for Charman Watson to generate an income while job-seeking, post-graduation.

Sole host of a 10-person chalet, responsible for budgeting, catering, cleaning, and client care. It taught me how to handle responsibility and pressure and deal with all manner of challenges. I ranked #7 out of 350+ chalets based on client feedback, due to my ability to perform under pressure while working to a higher-than-expected standard. While the hours were long, I learnt very quickly how to properly manage a high workload. It was an incredibly enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

Shift work, providing leadership and direction for my team, while ensuring they felt comfortable to work effectively in a high-pressure environment. I worked hard to meet the high expectations of client weddings, conferences and other events.

Work experience at the London commercial property investment firm Morgan Williams. This gave me a valuable insight to the commercial property market and grew my interest in the industry further.

Work experience at my father's firm of project managers, quantity surveyors and building surveyors. I had valuable experience of office life at an early age, with an insight into the progression of projects ranging from offices to hotels and residential units.
