Billing Specialist

In a nutshell

We’re looking for a Billing Specialist who is the operational engine of our financial flow. You are someone who finds professional satisfaction in ensuring our financial data matches the commercial performance. You combine an eye for detail with a proactive, "get-it-done" mindset. In this role, you don’t just report on margin discrepancies, you plug them. You take ownership of the entire transactional lifecycle, from ensuring commercial agreements are correctly invoiced to following up on unpaid balances. Acting as the operational bridge between Finance, Buying, and our Suppliers, you ensure that our Dutch market’s financial records are accurate, reconciled, and, most importantly, collected.

As part of the Finance team, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day financial integrity of our commercial operations. You aren't just sitting behind a dashboard; you are actively coordinating with commercial teams to solve pricing errors, chasing down missing payments, and ensuring every euro negotiated by our buyers actually hits our bank account. You report to the Country Controller NL and serve as the key contact person for our commercial team when it comes to our commercial transactions.

Tricks of the trade

• Transactional Execution: Take full ownership of the billing cycle. Monitor purchase price and quantity deviations and take immediate action to correct them.


• Dispute & Collection Management: Actively manage receivables and counterpart agreements. You are the lead in following up on unpaid invoices and resolving disputes with suppliers or clients to ensure timely cash flow.


• Operational Control: Oversee off-invoice discounts and rebate claims. You ensure these are calculated correctly based on commercial data and successfully invoiced and collected.


• System Configuration: Ensure consumer taxes and commercial terms are correctly set up in the system to prevent errors before they happen.


• Closing & Audit Support: Provide the "ground-level" data and reconciliations for periodical closings and annual audits, ensuring all open items are explained and accounted for.


• Process Reliability: Identify where errors happen most often and work with the commercial teams to streamline the "quote-to-cash" process, making our billing more scalable and less error-prone.

Your superpowers

• BSc in Finance, Business Economics, or a related field


• 1-4 years of experience in an Accounting, Controlling, or a commercial finance role


• Strong understanding of sales, pricing, and margin analysis


• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills - comfortable with large data sets


• Strong attention to detail with a structured approach and accurate execution


• Advanced proficiency in Excel (or Google Sheets); experience with data tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau, or SQL) is a plus


• Excellent communication skills - able to translate complex financial insights into actionable business advice and convince your stakeholders


• Fluent in English (Dutch, German, or French is a plus)
