We are looking for a detail-oriented Credit Controller to join our Finance team on a fully remote, 2-month fixed-term contract.
Diversity and inclusion is an integral part of our culture. We know that diverse teams are strong teams, so we welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply for this position. We make recruiting decisions based on experience, skills and potential, so all our applicants are treated fairly and equally.

Some experience in credit control, accounts receivable, or a similar collections-focused finance role.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment — priorities and processes here shift as we scale, and you'll need to be genuinely energised by that, not just tolerant of it.
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset: you chase things down rather than waiting for them to be chased for you.

Exposure to automation or AI tools used to streamline credit control or finance operations, even in a small or informal way.
Experience working within a business that operates across multiple countries or currencies.
Experience working alongside a small, remote or hybrid finance team and comfortable collaborating cross-border day to day.
