About us
London Marathon Events (part of the London Marathon Group) works to inspire, champion and increase activity in all ages, abilities and demographics. We do this through our successful event portfolio (which includes the TCS London Marathon and TCS Mini London Marathon, Brighton Marathon, The Big Half, Vitality London 10,000, Vitality Westminster Mile, Standard Chartered Great City Race and Swim Serpentine), through our extensive outreach programmes working with schools and community groups in London and across the UK and through our network of wholly owned or partially owned companies, such as Maverick, Run 4 Wales, Loch Ness Marathon Ltd, Caledonian Concepts, Athletic Ventures and Friday Night Lights
Our events raise millions for charities every year to improve the lives of individuals and communities and we passionately believe in the power of sport.
Our values are integral to who we are, how we work and what we do:
Caring - We value each other, our customers and the positive impact we make
Curious - We open our minds to new ideas, perspectives and ways of working
Exceptional - We strive to be the best and to redefine the art of the possible
Fun - We create joy, happiness and memories that last a lifetime
Diversity, inclusion and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do, and we want to ensure they are at the heart of our company. We strongly value diversity within our workforce and recognise that different people bring different perspectives, lived experience, ideas and culture to the company. This difference brings with it great strengths, including diversity of thought. So, if you’re ready to be a force for good, lead change and want to make a difference to society, keep reading.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Credit Controller to join our Finance team on a 12-month maternity cover.
This role will take ownership of the accounts receivable function end to end, ensuring income is accurately invoiced, debt is actively managed, and cash is collected on time. You will work closely with colleagues across the business and play a key role in supporting month-end processes, cashflow reporting and audit activity.
This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced environment, ideal for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in keeping things running smoothly, and isn’t afraid to get stuck in when required.
