The Opportunity
Looking for something more than a traditional credit control role?
Nigel Wright are exclusively working with Newcastle International Airport to support in seeking a proactive and commercially minded Customer Accounts & Billing Coordinator to join its growing Finance team.
This is a unique opportunity to work behind the scenes at one of the North East's most iconic organisations, supporting a diverse portfolio of customers ranging from major airlines and commercial partners to engineering contractors and training clients.
We're not looking for someone who simply follows a standard collections process. Instead, we're looking for a natural problem solver and someone who enjoys investigating issues, building relationships, improving processes and finding solutions.
Key Responsibilities
As part of the Finance team, you'll play a key role in managing customer accounts, resolving billing queries and supporting debt recovery activities across a complex and varied commercial environment.
Working closely with both internal departments and external customers, you'll investigate account discrepancies, identify the root cause of issues and ensure accurate information is maintained across finance systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
