Job description

The Who

In 1988, our founders had an ambitious dream to form the largest specialized travel company in the world—to set the example of how touring and travel should be done. The belief that travel is one of the most emotive experiences you undertake and our ambition to make this experience the absolute best it can be for the traveller, has become the guiding principle for TAG.

We believe that through a bespoke, high-touch and personal service, we can alleviate the stress and complexity of travel. So, whether it is a business meeting to close a deal, an event to meet industry peers or a gig for 50,000 screaming fans, we will get our clients to where they need to be feeling ready to take on the world.

The Why

At TAG, our company values matter. We appreciate our staff working as a Team, having Ambition and being Genuine.

You will have a passion for the job you do, as well as a drive to want to do better—in return, TAG will support your growth and development, as well as offer opportunities to progress or maybe even change tack!

The What

As a Receivables & Commissions Assistant, you will have a diverse and varied role. This role sits as an extension of the UK Finance team. Here are just some of the things you’ll be getting involved with:

• Checking invoices for accuracy before distribution
• Facilitating enquiries in the relevant mailboxes and providing query resolution
• Assist operational TAG Agents and Independent Consultants with queries and invoicing
• Posting and allocating daily cash
• Analysing, monitoring and managing company aged-debt
• Liaising with clients to chase outstanding debt by phone and email
• Working closely with the Transactions Manager and assisting with additional tasks for aspects of credit control in their absence
• Supporting the AR function with responsibilities for collecting Trade Debtors
• Large third party payment allocations for TACS/Onyx
• Providing cover for holidays / absence in AR
• Collaborate with the Payables and BSP teams and liaise with overseas Finance colleagues as and when necessary
• Help test/prepare new system implementations
• Perform other duties as may be assigned from time to time

The How

To be successful at TAG is as much about mindset and attitude as it is about skill set and qualifications. We’re a team who share the same desire and passion to go above and beyond for each and every client. We revel in making the seemingly impossible possible, always rising to the challenge with ambition and a genuine, open attitude.

We work flexibly to accommodate our TAG team colleagues, meaning on occasion there could be requirements outside of office hours to manage time zones and other work commitments. As a Receivables & Commissions Assistant there are several credentials and attributes which would be advantageous, but a determined attitude and willingness to learn, are equally important.

• Education to Degree level or higher, or in lieu of education – equivalent combination of education and directly related experience
• Minimum of 2 years’ Accounts Receivable and/or Collections experience
• Accounts Payable experience desirable
• Accounting experience within the travel industry
• Travcom or other finance travel packages
• Working knowledge of Excel and full Microsoft Office Suite
• Demonstrated success in a similar role
• Proven record of working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment

The Where and When

This is a full-time office-based role (40 hours per week) based in our Stellenbosch office.

You will report into the South Africa Operations Manager who is based in Stellenbosch & our Head of Sales, who is based in London. There are other regional teams based in the US and APAC that you may work closely with, too.

The Important Bit

As passionate as you may be about changing the face of travel, let’s be honest – you're not doing this for free. So, here’s our promise to you:

• Competitive salary DOE
• Travel allowance towards your travel costs (dependent on shifts)
• Membership to the company provident fund
• Healthcare cover
• Holiday entitlement

We are also committed to offering an equal opportunity for all employees and applicants.
