Gleeson are excited to be working with a business who are going through a real growth phase right now - they've been on an acquisitions journey over the last couple of years, and are now at the stage where they are building out their Credit Control function from scratch.

The businesses they've acquired have always handled their own finance previously, so this is the first time everything is being brought together under one group, which makes this role a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys coming in, taking ownership of a ledger, and helping shape how things are done as they continue to grow.

The business has a great leadership team, a supportive culture, and importantly they're very clear on what they need: someone who's experienced in Credit Control, confident building relationships, loves resolving queries, enjoys getting stuck into aged debt, and who wants to be part of something that is still evolving.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

Full ownership of your own ledger - proactively chasing payments, monitoring accounts, and resolving outstanding debt.
Managing aged debt - with much of the current ledger sitting between 60-120 days overdue.
Building strong relationships directly with customers - a big part of this role is identifying the right contacts within customer businesses to make sure invoices are being received, authorised, and queries dealt with efficiently.
Investigating and resolving complex queries by working closely with both customers and internal teams, regularly liaising with account managers, sales teams and operational staff to resolve issues quickly.
Producing weekly aged debt reports in Excel to track aged debt, highlight problem areas, and share internally with the wider business.
Identifying recurring issues and feeding back process improvements to management to strengthen the end-to-end order-to-cash cycle.
Supporting the Credit Manager in developing new processes as the function continues to scale.
Playing a key role in helping embed structure, build consistency across ledgers, and ensure processes work as the business grows.WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

Strong end-to-end Credit Control experience - confident managing your own ledger.
Someone who enjoys picking up the phone and building genuine relationships with customers to keep payments on track.
Confident proactively resolving queries and finding solutions.
Comfortable working closely with internal teams and customers to get things sorted quickly.
Good Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables etc) - confident working with spreadsheets.
Sage 50 experience would be an advantage but not essential.
A real 'can-do' attitude - someone who enjoys taking ownership and making things better.THE DETAILS:

This role is looking to start ASAP so they are hiring on a temporary to permanent basis.
Full time in office.
On-site parking and public transport links available.
Work with a business who are creating a 'Group' function and are building a credit control division from scratch. Giving you the opportunity to shape this team with process suggestions and ideas. This is a great role for someone who enjoys Credit Control, likes building relationships, and wants to be part of a team where your input will genuinely make a difference.
