We're looking for an experienced Credit Controller to join our Finance team and take ownership of the debtor portfolio and cash collection process. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who's comfortable managing customer relationships as well as the numbers: chasing payments by phone and email in a professional and courteous manner, resolving billing queries, and keeping debtor days on track.
You'll work closely with the finance function, including invoicing and management reporting, as well as the wider business, and play a key part in protecting cash flow across the business.
We're ideally looking for someone motivated and excited to take ownership, improve credit control processes, and make an impact in a fast-paced, growing business.
Hours
This is a part-time role, Monday to Friday. We are happy to explore flexible options and discuss preferred hours and working days with candidates during the hiring process.
Location
This is a hybrid role, with two days per week based in the office. The specific working days will be agreed as part of the hiring process, taking into account the hours and days agreed with the successful candidate.
