We are seeking an Account Receivable Team Lead to guide the team responsible for ensuring the management, maintenance and reconciliation of the sales ledger in line with management accounting practices.

What you'll be doing:
* Ensure accurate financial data, meet team targets, and promote accountability by tracking and resolving all queries promptly to protect cash flow and minimise risk.
* Oversee daily operations to maintain compliance and timely delivery, identifying training needs and supporting team development so members feel empowered and valued.
* Set clear performance targets for receipt collection and allocation, regularly review outstanding accounts, and ensure the AR mailbox is consistently monitored and actioned.
* Use your expertise to guide the team through complex accounts, support diverse customer and contract challenges, and contribute to cash flow forecasting and reporting.
* Oversee the identification and correct recording of bad debts and high‑risk accounts.
* Act as the primary AR contact for internal and external audits, delegating sampling tasks where appropriate.
