• Collaborate closely with Sales, Product & Tech and Commercial Finance to support strategic growth while ensuring governance and risk mitigation.
• Resolve complex finance issues involving unallocated cash, disputes, reconciliation gaps, or operational blockers impacting receivables.
• Drive negotiations on collateral, payment terms, and risk-based decisions with large partners, balancing commercial opportunity with financial protection.
• Support our credit insurance programme, with an effective management of coverage gaps.
• Strengthen collections processes and identify opportunities to reduce ageing, improve forecasting accuracy, and optimise partner payment behaviour.
• Evaluate and store partner financial information, ensuring completeness, accuracy and compliance with internal controls.
• Support the Credit Risk Director in developing and updating Credit Management Policies, ensuring they reflect evolving business strategy and risk appetite.

Experience and Qualifications

• Proven ability to interpret financial statements, assess business models and form clear risk opinions.
• Experience setting or reviewing credit limits of high amounts is highly desirable.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence senior internal stakeholders and external partners.
• Demonstrated ability to resolve complex issues, dispute, think critically, and manage escalations with a calm, solutions-driven approach.
• Strong relationship-building skills across functions and cultures.
• High attention to detail and ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong system adaptability (experience with AI, Power BI Power Query is a plus).
• Experience in business partnering roles or environments where finance must collaborate closely with commercial teams.
• Knowledge of B2B business models, credit insurance, securitisation or collateral management is advantageous.
