Accounts Receivable Manager

Your new company: You'll be joining a fast-paced, globally operating organisation with a strong focus on operational excellence and continuous improvement across its finance function. The business has invested heavily in its Order-to-Cash (O2C) transformation and operates a sophisticated shared services model, partnering closely with offshore teams. This is an environment where process discipline, data integrity, and high-quality execution are key and where strong leaders can make a tangible impact on global performance.

Your new role: As Accounts Receivable Manager, you will take ownership of the global O2C process, ensuring the smooth, accurate, and controlled execution of AR operations across multiple regions. Acting as the key escalation point, you'll oversee billing integrity, resolve complex issues, and provide governance across both internal teams and offshore partners. This is a leadership-focused role, where you'll manage and develop a distributed team, driving performance against KPIs such as SLA adherence, accuracy, and productivity. You'll also play a crucial role in shaping and improving processes, identifying inefficiencies, reducing manual work, and enhancing data quality across CRM and ERP systems.Alongside operational oversight, you'll own AR reporting and insights, using data to inform decision-making, resource planning, and ongoing transformation initiatives. This role is less about processing and more about leadership, control, and continuous improvement on a global scale.
