Blue Light Card. Individually great, together unstoppable
The Role and the Team
Blue Light Card's Finance team is in the middle of a meaningful transformation, and this role sits right at the centre of it. As a Senior Credit Controller on a six-month fixed term contract, you'll keep the accounts receivable function running smoothly while the team evolves around you, supporting both day-to-day operations and longer-term process improvement.
The Finance team works closely with Partnerships, commercial stakeholders, and external affiliate platforms, so this role offers genuine breadth and variety alongside its technical core. Reporting to the Ledger Manager and based at our Cossington, Leicester site, you'll be a key point of contact across the business for accounts receivable queries, debt management, and reconciliation activity.
You'll be joining at a point where your contribution will have a real and visible impact, both on the ledger and on how the team works going forward.
What You'll Do
Own credit control activity across Direct and Affiliate revenue streams, proactively collecting debt and escalating non-paying accounts to the appropriate internal teams
Post cashbook entries from bank feeds and allocate incoming receipts accurately and within agreed timeframes
Investigate and resolve discrepancies between affiliate platforms and Business Central, working collaboratively with external partners to reach resolution
Produce and distribute the accounts receivable ledger on a weekly and monthly basis to Finance and wider stakeholders
Issue monthly customer statements and liaise with internal teams and external partners to resolve queries and disputes in a timely way
Manage transactions within the data validation pipeline, ensuring integrity and accuracy throughout
Identify and recommend opportunities to simplify and automate reconciliations and BAU processes, supporting the team's continuous improvement agenda
What You'll Bring
Solid, hands-on experience working within an Accounts Receivable or Credit Control function, with a strong understanding of credit management principles
Proven experience contacting customers to discuss outstanding balances and resolve disputes, with a clear and considerate communication style
Strong Excel skills, including the ability to work with and interrogate large data sets
Comfortable building and maintaining relationships with both internal teams and external partners, adjusting your approach depending on the audience
A methodical and dependable approach to reconciliation work, with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
Experience with Dynamics 365 or a similar ERP system would be a bonus, but is not essential
Exposure to omnichannel environments, including retail, ecommerce, or B2B, would also be welcome
