Credit Controller

As a Credit Controller, you'll take on a broad finance role that goes well beyond following up outstanding receivables. You'll combine credit control with treasury and accounting responsibilities, working closely with colleagues from Accounting, Treasury, Commercial, Property Management and Legal across multiple countries.

You'll also contribute to projects such as setting up credit control processes for new entities, improving reporting and working documents, testing reminder flows and exploring opportunities to automate tasks.
This position is particularly suited to someone who understands accounting, works accurately and communicates confidently with both finance and commercial stakeholders. You'll act as an important link between the numbers and the business, while contributing to the day-to-day financial operations of an international organisation.
