DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES | About the role

The Global Training Finance & Billing Specialist plays a pivotal role in making sure that organisation run smoothly. This position is the operational "control tower" for training-related billing and core accounting routines, within our training commercial entity (Consigas). You will ensure that training, lab and professional services activity is invoiced accurately and on time; that vendor training credits and service credits are managed with strong governance; and that the data flowing from finance systems into operational reporting is clean, complete, and reliable.

This is a hands-on, mid-level specialist role suited to someone who enjoys structured processes, loves getting the details right, and wants to be part of a growing global team that is building something new.

As the Finance and Billing Specialist, you will:

• Manage weekly training invoicing, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and full reconciliation to internal systems and operational records.
• Raise compliant invoices for PO‑based bookings, training labs, and professional services, maintaining correct coding, tax treatment, and revenue timing (including deferred revenue).
• Uphold strong revenue‑integrity controls across customers, SKUs, currencies, VAT, and delivery validation.
• Own end‑to‑end finance processes for vendor training credits and service‑credit programmes, including monthly credit utilisation, invoicing, exception handling, and programme scaling.
• Support month‑end close with deferred revenue calculations, WIP validation, coding reviews, and tax/VAT checks.
• Process supplier invoices accurately, maintain consistent cost allocation, and perform timely bank reconciliations.
• Monitor and reduce overdue receivables, escalating ageing issues with clear context and recommended actions.
• Maintain audit‑ready documentation and prepare accounting data extracts for finance, BI, and reporting platforms.
• Partner with Operations and BI/Automation teams to improve data quality, streamline workflows, and strengthen controls.
• Understand training sales and delivery processes to validate billing, resolve discrepancies, and provide operational cover when needed.
• Oversee automated exam‑voucher workflows through periodic checks and rapid exception resolution.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE | About you

The ideal Finance and Billing Specialist will have:

• Mid-level experience in a finance operations, billing, or bookkeeping role, ideally in a services business (training, professional services, managed services, or similar).
• Familiarity with invoicing processes across multiple service lines and a strong understanding of billing controls.
• Exposure to deferred revenue and/or WIP concepts is beneficial.
• Experience working in a global, multi-currency environment (EUR and USD) and with cross-border transactions.
• Experience with VAT/tax logic in an international context would be advantageous (including EU and non-EU scenarios).
• Experience working with operational systems such as Training Management Systems, booking portals, vendor portals, and internal workflows.
• Intermediate to advanced Excel.
• Previous experience in process improvement and automation, with a passion for making recurring work simpler, faster, and more reliable.
• Comfortable working in a scaling environment where processes are being formalised and improved over time.
• Experience with modern cloud accounting systems – Xero would be preferable.
• High attention to detail, with a strong bias for accuracy and clean records.
• Structured, dependable, and able to manage multiple parallel workflows on a weekly/monthly cadence.
• Strong communication skills, able to chase information politely, document exceptions clearly, and collaborate across operations, sales, and finance stakeholders.
