Role

We are creating a new Head of Invoicing role to lead our Invoicing function across the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region, bringing together teams that currently operate separately across the region into a single, unified function.

• You'll serve as the senior invoicing lead across EMEA, partnering with Finance leadership, the Regional CFO, operational, sales, client services teams, and clients to resolve escalations, improve processes, and strengthen billing discipline.
• You'll drive invoicing excellence by improving billing accuracy, timeliness, completeness, and dispute resolution, maximizing revenue protection while delivering insight-led reporting on performance, cycle times, backlog, accuracy, and revenue impact.
• You'll lead invoicing-related transformation initiatives, including ERP standardization and broader systems and process change, ensuring invoicing requirements are effectively represented as the business evolves and supporting other priorities as required.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive remuneration: Motivating financial packages based upon market rates for your role and is proportionate to your qualifications, level of experiences and skills profile
• Pension Scheme: Generous employer contribution with the ability to allow and increase employee contributions
• Annual leave: All our employees are entitled to 22 days paid leave. Enhanced maternity and paternity, including shared parental leave and adoption leave
• Flexible working: We recognise the value of working flexibly and is keen to ensure all employees enjoy an excellent work-life blend. As such, we are open to conversations with employees related to setting up flexible working arrangements
• Support and development: We will ensure you have the right training, tools and development plan to grow and improve your skills every day

Qualifications

• You have significant experience in invoicing, billing, order-to-cash, or revenue operations, with a proven track record of leading, developing, and managing teams across multiple countries, shared service environments, or onshore/offshore delivery models.
• You have successfully led process, policy, systems, or ERP transformation initiatives, including standardizing practices across multiple ERP or billing platforms and supporting ERP migration, consolidation, or system-agnostic process design.
• You are a confident and credible communicator with the ability to influence senior stakeholders, represent the business externally with clients, and balance hands-on operational delivery with strategic leadership.
• You have strong expertise in improving billing accuracy, timeliness, and revenue realization, supported by excellent analytical, organizational, attention-to-detail, and problem-solving skills, along with advanced MS Office and Excel capabilities.
• You bring a strong results-driven mindset, an understanding of multi-currency and multi-jurisdiction operations in a global environment, fluency in English, and ideally French language skills and a professional accountancy or finance qualification.
