Senior Accounts Receivable Specialist / Credit Analyst

Think Accountancy & Finance are partnering with a large, well-established organisation that has recently formed a new Accounts Receivable function and is looking to appoint a senior-level AR professional.

This is a broad, end-to-end Accounts Receivable role with strong exposure to billing, credit control, analysis, and stakeholder engagement, ideal for an experienced AR specialist who wants ownership, influence, and senior responsibility without people management.

The Role

You will take ownership of a portfolio of accounts, managing the full sales-to-cash cycle while working closely with Finance, Treasury, and wider operational teams across a large business.

Key responsibilities include:

• End-to-end Accounts Receivable management (billing, collections, reconciliations)
• Managing complex invoicing and resolving billing queries
• Credit control, cash collection, and aged debt management
• Portfolio-based ledger ownership
• Producing debtor analysis, reconciliations, and AR reporting
• Confidently liaising with multiple internal stakeholders
• Supporting and suggesting process improvements in a newly formed function

This is not a junior or transactional role, the successful candidate must be able to explain AR processes in depth and demonstrate strong commercial awareness.

Key Requirements - Essential:

• Strong, hands-on Accounts Receivable and Credit Control experience
• Proven end-to-end billing and AR ownership
• Ability to articulate AR processes clearly and confidently
• Commercially aware with a proactive mindset
• Comfortable working in a developing environment
• Confident communicator, able to engage with multiple teams across a large organisation
• Self-driven, organised, and able to be accountable for own portfolio

Desirable:

• Experience in process improvement or change environments
• Portfolio-based AR or analyst-leaning experience
• Strong Excel and data reconciliation skills
• Awareness of automation / AI concepts within AR
• Experience suggesting or supporting system or workflow improvements

Who This Role Would Suit

• A senior AR / Credit professional
• Someone stepping back from management but still wanting senior responsibility
• An experienced Accounts Assistant or AR Specialist ready for a broader, more commercial role
• A confident professional who enjoys working as part of a high-calibre, collaborative team

If this sounds like a position you would excel in, I would love to hear from you!
