You’re a confident finance professional with a knack for leading from the front.

With a sharp eye for detail and a passion for improvement , you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment where collaboration, problem-solving, and ownership go hand in hand.

  • Monitor aged debt reports, identify risks and implement proactive collection strategies
  • Manage key customer relationships, particularly within the public sector
  • Act as an escalation point for complex or high-value queries

  • Provide regular reporting and insights on AR performance, trends and opportunities
  • Contribute to cashflow forecasting and complete key balance sheet reconciliations
  • Drive continuous improvement across AR processes to boost efficiency and accuracy

To be successful, you'll have:

  • Proven experience leading or supervising an Accounts Receivable team
  • A strong track record working with public sector customers and their billing requirements
  • Excellent interpersonal and leadership skills with a focus on motivation and accountability
  • Strong analytical and organisational skills, with confidence managing multiple priorities
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort with data-driven decision making
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset and the ability to adapt to change

Bonus points if you bring:

  • A history of implementing process improvements in finance operations
  • Knowledge of financial compliance or audit requirements

Why Perkbox?

In 2025, Perkbox and Vivup came together under one name: the new and evolved Perkbox.

We joined forces to create something bigger and better - a single, unified platform built to care for, connect with, and celebrate employees in all areas of life. With more than 20 years of combined experience across public, private, SME and corporate sectors, we’re now supporting over 4 million employees across 7,500 organisations.

From access to expert mental health services to help with the cost of everyday essentials, our expanded range of benefits and wellbeing tools meets people where they are - at work and beyond.

Together, we’re redefining what employee benefits can be. And we’re just getting started.

The Interview Process

Our interview process involves 4 main stages:

  • Application
  • Short call with a member of the TA team
  • 30-minute video call with Hiring Manager and one other team member
  • Final Interview and task with two members of the team

Our average process takes around 2-3 weeks, but we will always work around your availability. You will have the chance to speak to our recruitment team at various points during your process. If you have any specific questions ahead of this, please contact us on [email protected]

We’re committed to being an inclusive employer and creating a fair workplace for all. We encourage applications from candidates across all backgrounds, circumstances, ages, disabilities, ethnicities, religions or beliefs, gender identities, or sexual orientations
