Accounting Manager Billing & Collections (m/f/d)

• Owning the accounting quality of our receivables end to end, from the subledgers all the way through to the general ledger: monitoring how payments are allocated, challenging how postings are created out of our billing systems, and driving down unallocated cash and unexplained open items in close collaboration with our Tax and Accounting teams
• Reconciling our AR sub-ledger against the general ledger and delivering the receivables side of our monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements, documented in an audit-proof way
• Owning the valuation of our receivables: calculating and challenging bad debt provisions from large data sets, and defending the methodology towards Management and our auditors
• Acting as the dedicated counterpart to our General Ledger and Tax teams on all receivables topics, from account assignment to VAT and valuation questions
• Being a trusted accounting authority inside our Billing & Collections team: assessing new business cases and billing models, judging corrections and credit notes, building accounting know-how across the team, and documenting processes so they hold up to audit scrutiny
• Safeguarding the compliance of our invoicing across our European markets, in particular VAT and e-invoicing requirements, together with our Tax team and our external advisors
• Shaping how we invoice and account for our current and future products, from the contract discussion all the way to the set-up in our systems
• Turning receivables data into action: building our ageing, DSO and bad debt reporting, and analysing the cost behind our processes, such as chargeback and external debt collection costs, to show not just the results but the cost behind them, and using automation and AI together with our SAP and Data teams to replace recurring manual work and reduce cost while improving the process

• Accounting experience with increasing responsibility, going beyond routine bookkeeping into closing, valuation and accounting judgement
• Confident in taking and defending accounting positions, in particular on receivables, revenue and bad debt, including in discussions with our auditors
• A broad accounting background across general ledger and sub-ledger topics, ideally combined with SAP S/4HANA experience.
• Solid VAT knowledge in an international European context, and an interest in e-invoicing and country-specific requirements
• Analytical mindset and comfort with high transaction volumes, strong in Excel and curious about how AI and automation can replace manual work
• A genuine interest in the system side: you want to understand how a posting is actually created, not just that it is there
• Structured, precise and ownership-driven, comfortable working as a peer to another specialist rather than in a hierarchical line, and confident when explaining accounting to non-accountants. Business fluent English, German is a plus
