Descrição da oferta de emprego

Funchal, Portugal | Posted on 09/06/2026

Every time you receive a login code via SMS from your bank, a delivery alert from an app, or a flight update, you are interacting with the world of A2P (Application-to-Person) SMS. At The Direct Connect Company, we sit at the heart of this global ecosystem. We act as a high-tech bridge (CPaaS - Communications Platform as a Service) that allows major enterprises to communicate instantly with millions of customers across every continent.

For a Finance graduate, this is a unique opportunity to manage the "engine room" of a high-volume, high-frequency business. Our operations involve billions of data points and micro-transactions where financial precision is the difference between success and failure.

We are a lean, modern organization that believes efficiency is the ultimate form of sustainability. By architecting a "circular" and highly optimized routing network, we ensure that digital communication uses the fewest resources possible. In 2025 alone, our commitment to infrastructure optimization allowed us to eliminate significant operational waste, contributing to an indirect saving of over 80,000 tons of CO2. We don’t just move data; we move it with a conscious footprint.

1. Finance & Revenue Assurance

Invoicing & Payments: Manage the end-to-end invoicing process, reconcile supplier invoices, and prepare all outgoing payments for approval.

Carrier Cost Reconciliation: Perform monthly audits comparing supplier CDRs (Call Detail Records) against invoices to identify overcharges or routing discrepancies.

Credit & Fraud Monitoring: Monitor customer usage against credit limits and deposits in real-time to prevent bad debt and unauthorized usage spikes.

Collections: Follow up with customers regarding outstanding payments to maintain a healthy cash flow.

Destination Analysis: Analyze traffic patterns to high-cost destinations and alert the team to necessary pricing or routing adjustments.

2. Data & Document Management

Master Google Sheets Architect: Maintain and update complex pricing lists and financial trackers using advanced formulas.

Structured Archiving: Build and maintain a rigorous, "audit-ready" digital filing system for all invoices, expenses, and corporate contracts.

Google Sheets Expert: You must be highly comfortable with Google Sheets. Proficiency in formulas (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, IF statements) is non-negotiable.
