Buy side treasury - Exit opps + Question

I got offered a treasury internship at a nice place where I could see myself continue to work in the future and I was looking to see what were the exit opportunities in treasury and how to get the most from that experience.

First some details about the work the team does:

- Treasury department of a pension fund with a great reputation.

- They manage mostly short borrowing and short term investments. (They manage a bit less than a billion of cash and cash equivalents) They also frequently issue commercial paper for example

- They act as liquidity provider for the different portfolio managers.

- They confirmed me that the operational part of treasury is done by another team and that they're really managing a portfolio.

Basically I wanted to know what were the exit opps for these types of roles and what I should ask to work on to get the most out of this opportunity (debt issuance, short term investments, liquidity provider, etc) I don't know how realistic it is but I'd like to work on the buy side either in macro investing or equity if that helps.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help
