About The Role

We are seeking a detail‑oriented and analytical Junior Accounts Receivable Specialist to support our distribution operations. This role ensures the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of financial reconciliation, settlement processing, partner reporting, and exception handling across distribution partners, cash application, and collections requirements. The ideal candidate understands data, database logic, accounting reconciliations, settlement timing, ledger management, and cash conversion impacts. The position sits in Financial Operations and owns day‑to‑day settlement execution for a portfolio of distribution partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner settlement cycle execution (daily/weekly/monthly)
• Prepare partner settlement invoices/statements (premium, commissions, refunds/chargebacks, fees, adjustments) and validate completeness.
• Reconcile partner settlement files to internal subledger sources (NetSuite), NetSuite postings, and bank activity.
• Ensure consistent cutoffs and settlement calendars are followed.

Break investigation and resolution

• Investigate short‑pays, missing remittances, unapplied cash, fee mismatches, timing differences, chargeback/refund disputes, and data defects.
• Build clear break narratives: what happened, root cause, and proposed fix.
• Route issues to the right owner (partner finance, internal Data Ops, Treasury, Product, Claims) with sufficient evidence to act.
• Maintain documentation with aging and next actions.

Cash application and collections support (partner net position)

• Support accurate and timely cash application for partner remittances.
• Assist in collections workflows for overdue partner balances, including documentation for escalations and partner communication.

Controls, audit trail, and SOPs

• Execute defined controls for settlement accuracy (checklists, reconciliations, tie‑outs) and retain evidence.
• Maintain and improve SOPs so recurring issues become systemised fixes.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in invoicing, settlements, reconciliations, AR/collections operations, revenue operations, or high‑volume finance operations.
• Demonstrated experience reconciling receivables (bank statements, invoices, part payments, ERP).
• Intermediate spreadsheet skills.
• Comfortable writing crisp communication and working directly with external counterparties.
• High standards for controls, accuracy, and audit trail discipline.

Nice to Have

• Experience with chargebacks/refunds, payout cycles, multi‑currency settlement.
• Experience in insurance operations context (premium vs commission offsets, bordereau‑style reporting).
