Being the go-to contact for utility service charge queries across the organisation.
Working closely with suppliers and colleagues to resolve issues and keep data up to date.
Handling large data sets with care and precision.
Supporting the wider Finance team in improving processes and delivering excellent service.
Our ideal candidate for this role is someone who:
Experience in an accounts payable or finance role, ideally involving utility suppliers.
Comfortable working with large data sets and using spreadsheets.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
A team player who’s flexible, proactive and ready to embrace change.
Knowledge of utility billing or metering.
Driven to meet deadlines and contribute to team success.
If you enjoy problem-solving, working with data, and being part of a busy finance team that keeps things running behind the scenes — this could be the perfect role for you.
