Accounts Receivable Manager in Cambridge

Accountancy & Finance recruitment specialist supporting candidates and clients across Cambridgeshire.

I’m looking for a dynamic, high-impact Accounts Receivable Manager who has a proven track record of successfully heading up an international AR function.

As an accomplished leader who thrives in complex, changing and fast-moving environments, you’ll bring a fearless, solutions-first mindset and proactively define how the global collections function will operate: establishing strategy, setting performance standards, and driving measurable cash‑flow outcomes.

• Track and deliver cash collection KPIs.
• Support order-to-cash improvements and key business projects.
• Manage financial risks including credit, FX and master data.
• Act as a key point of contact for audits and compliance.

Key Experience Required

• Senior AR leadership experience in an international environment.
• Strong AR and credit control expertise with process improvement experience.
• Excellent people leadership, communication and stakeholder skills.
• Highly organised, proactive and comfortable working at pace.
• Tech‑positive mindset and strong problem‑solving skills.

What’s in it for you?

• Real ownership of a global AR function in an evolving organisation.
• A flexible, supportive culture that values innovation and continuous improvement.
• High visibility with senior leaders and global teams.
• Competitive package and hybrid working built around trust.
• International travel
• Salary up to £70,000 + benefits
