Job description

The Practical Detail Location: Barcelona office Working Model: Hybrid

Why this role matters

You will take full ownership of managing a portfolio of around 300 customer accounts in Spain, ensuring timely collection of outstanding invoices and improving cash flow. This role is crucial as we transition collections activities from an external provider to internal management, strengthening our financial health and supporting the smooth operation of our supply chain. Your work directly impacts Flora Food Group’s ability to deliver better food by ensuring the cash flow that fuels our kitchens and innovation. You will resolve payment issues, collaborate closely with sales, customer service, and finance teams, and help maintain strong customer relationships that keep our business moving forward.

What you'll do

• Manage and reconcile accounts receivable balances for a large portfolio of customers, ensuring accuracy and timely resolution of discrepancies.
• Proactively contact customers to collect payments, resolving blockers and inquiries to improve cash flow and reduce overdue balances.
• Collaborate with internal teams including sales, customer service, and logistics to unblock deliveries and resolve payment issues efficiently.
• Provide insights on delinquent accounts and recommend corrective actions to support credit management and cash flow targets.
• Identify opportunities to improve collection processes and reduce manual efforts, contributing to continuous improvement initiatives.

Performance

You will own the collections process of a large portfolio in Spain, directly influencing key financial metrics such as Days Sales Outstanding, overdue balances, and claim cycle time. Your data-driven approach and proactive management will ensure cash flow stability and support working capital goals. Success will be measured by your ability to meet monthly collection targets and maintain strong account reconciliation standards.

Care

This role reports to Ana Cláudia Freire, Credit Manager, and works closely with Josefina Grosso, Credit Controller, as well as sales, customer service, and logistics teams. You will demonstrate responsible stewardship of company policies and audit requirements, ensuring compliance and sustainable financial practices. Your collaboration across functions will help build lasting relationships internally and with customers, supporting Flora Food Group’s long-term mission to deliver better food responsibly.

Passion

You bring a genuine interest in the rhythm of business operations that keep food moving from our kitchens to tables. Your curiosity about improving processes and your can-do attitude will help you thrive in this fast‑paced role. You understand that every payment collected is a step toward delivering nutritious, delicious food to consumers, and you take pride in contributing to that purpose with precision and care.

About you

You have experience in collections or a finance background and are comfortable managing a high volume of accounts independently. You communicate clearly in Spanish and English, and Portuguese is a plus. You are proactive, structured, and able to navigate internal relationships diplomatically, especially when resolving payment issues that affect deliveries. You thrive in a role where autonomy and accountability are key, and you bring a can-do attitude to chasing payments and improving cash flow. You take pride in working for a company with over 150 years of expertise in food, and you understand that excellent work in every function is what allows Flora Food Group to put better food on tables around the world. You bring the same rigour and care to your discipline that our teams bring to every product, because how we work is as important as what we make.

Where this could lead to

This role offers a solid foundation in finance operations within a global food company. You may expand your expertise by supporting backup activities for Portugal’s accounts receivable if you speak Portuguese. This role provides valuable experience managing a large portfolio and collaborating across teams, which will definitely make you grow and learn a lot.
