Robert Half is partnering with a company that manages workplace technology solutions for companies based in central London in search for a Funder Operations Administrator to join its dynamic finance operations team.

• 5 Days Office-Based

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a strong eye for detail and a background in operational finance administration to play a key role in supporting the accurate allocation of funder payments and maintaining efficient cash flow processes.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and monitor funder email inboxes
• Assist with unallocated payment tracking and follow-up
• Investigate and resolve unallocated cash issues
• Raise invoices and credit memos as required
• Identify recurring issues impacting cash flow
• Apply monthly contract increases using internal systems
• Review and address overdue invoices
• Provide ad hoc finance support as needed

The Funder Operations Involvement:

Final Stage of Sales Cycle

Once the deal is closed by the sales team:

• You receive a sales handover pack, including commercial terms, equipment list, contract duration, and client details.
• You coordinate with the internal billing and contracts team to validate service pricing and ensure the lease documentation aligns with the correct asset and service value.

Funder Engagement & Documentation

• You check which funder is being used (e.g. Close Brothers or Siemens Financial Services).
• You prepare and send documentation to the funder, including:
• Signed customer lease agreement
• Invoice for the total lease value
• Any funder-specific annexes or compliance forms

Approval & Payout

• The funder reviews and approves the paperwork.
• You manage the communication to ensure the company gets paid out for the full equipment value and service upfront (funders pay the company, the client repays the funder over time).
• You track payout status, update internal CRM/systems, and notify Finance that funds have been received.

Relationship Management

• You keep a log of all interactions and note anything specific to that funder’s requirements (e.g. "this funder always requests serial numbers before payout").
• You might meet the funder once a quarter during reviews or commercial check-ins, either virtually or on-site.

Ongoing Admin

If the client upgrades, adds devices, or early-exits the lease, you’re involved in:

• Requesting revised payment schedules from the funder
• Liaising with internal teams to ensure new documents are issued and signed

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience in an administrative or finance operations support role
• Comfortable managing complex transactions
• Basic understanding of finance operations
• Experience with NetSuite or Vantage Online (desirable)
• Proficient in Microsoft Office tools

Salary + Benefits:

• 25 days holiday + your birthday off (plus bank holidays)
• Company pension & life assurance
• Employee assistance programme
• Cycle to work scheme & season ticket loan
• Healthy office snacks
• Employee referral programme

Please reach out and apply if this role aligns with you and the next step in your career.
