As Manager, Medium-Term Financing, Treasury, you’re involved in the strategy and execution of Desjardins initiatives on the domestic and international markets. You play a leading role in analyzing, recommending, and implementing financing solutions to support the organization’s liquidity needs and growth ambitions.
