An established multinational business is seeking an experienced Accounts Receivable Manager to take end-to-end ownership of the AR function, driving improved cash flow, accuracy and collaboration across Billing and Collections. This is a hands-on leadership role for a candidate who can restructure and align AR operations, personally configure, deploy and manage AI-driven automation tools across collections and billing workflows, and build strong cross-functional relationships with senior stakeholders. This role requires someone comfortable working directly within AI/automation platforms day-to-day.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the AR process end-to-end, from invoice generation through to cash application.
- Restructure and align Collections and Billing into one cohesive, high-performing function.
- Take hands‑on ownership of AI and automation tools within AR, including configuration, workflow design, exception handling and ongoing optimisation.
- Act as the internal expert/administrator for AI-enabled billing and collections systems, troubleshooting issues directly rather than escalating to IT or external teams.
- Partner with Sales and internal stakeholders to maximise automated billing processes and minimise disputes.
- Lead collections strategy to reduce DSO and improve cash flow, including oversight of high-risk accounts and escalations.
- Design and implement a structured dispute management process with clear ownership and root‑cause tracking.
- Manage quarterly/year-end bad debt write-offs and provisions, liaising with department heads for approval.
- Provide direct line management to a team (Billing and Credit Control), including coaching, performance management and objective setting.
- Support the Group Financial Controller with cash flow forecasting and customer receipts forecasting.
- Administer the credit control system and oversee related documentation.
Candidate Profile
- Proven experience managing an AR function within a complex, multinational environment.
- Demonstrable, hands‑on experience configuring and managing AI/automation tools within AR (e.g. AI‑assisted collections platforms, automated cash application, intelligent dispute routing).
- Able to operate as a power‑user/administrator of these systems personally, rather than relying on a dedicated automation or IT team.
- Strong track record of process improvement, with evidence of automation solutions actively driven or delivered by the candidate themselves.
- Confident people leader with experience managing and developing teams.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Comfortable operating at a senior level, driving change across cross‑functional teams.
