Our opportunity

We are looking for an experienced part-time Credit Controller to join our Finance team, working three days per week in our London office.

In a fast-paced consultancy setting you will oversee all aspects of SEC Newgate UK’s credit control function, focusing on ensuring prompt payments of all our debts and delivery of our cashflow targets. Your focus will be on delivering average debtor days of 40 as well as helping us mitigate any bad debt risk and maximising our cash conversion ratios ensuring all debts are paid in full and on time in line with our agreed payment terms.  You will also work with all members and teams of our business by sharing aged debtors reports with them in a timely manner.

You will work closely with our COO/CFO on any overdue debtors requiring escalation to lawyers for recovery.

We are looking for someone who is a confident communicator (both verbal and written); has a collaborative team approach and superb analytical skills, with excellent attention to detail.

You will need to be flexible in how you respond to unexpected time-sensitive tasks and possess the ability to remain calm under pressure.  We are looking for an individual who can work independently with minimum supervision who is not afraid to use their initiative and progress matters.
