£50,000 to £56,500 + Bonus

Most billing roles are about keeping the lights on.

This one is about improving the entire setup.

We’re partnered with a growing software business that has expanded significantly through acquisition and now operates across multiple divisions, customer groups and commercial models.

As you’d expect in a business that has evolved quickly, the billing function has become increasingly complex.

Different contract structures, varied revenue streams, evolving systems and inconsistent processes have created a genuine need for someone who can bring structure, leadership and accountability into the function.

This is not a “press send on invoices” environment.

It’s a role for someone who enjoys untangling complexity, improving workflows, tightening controls and building a billing function that can properly support a scaling business.

The finance leadership team are highly collaborative and fully aware there is opportunity to improve. They’re looking for someone who can come in, challenge constructively, lead people properly and help shape what good looks like moving forward.

You’ll sit in a highly visible position across the business, partnering with finance, operations and commercial teams to improve billing accuracy, reporting visibility and working capital performance.
