The organization is seeking a Credit Controller who will play a pivotal role in safeguarding the financial health of its US operations, with a clear pathway to progress into a Head of Finance position as the business grows. You will be the sole finance presence on site, entrusted with significant autonomy to shape and implement best-practice processes while collaborating closely with global colleagues. This role offers you the chance to make a tangible impact, working within a supportive network that values reliability, accountability, and expertise. If you are ready to take ownership of credit control and broader financial responsibilities, this is your opportunity to join a globally recognized brand known for quality and innovation.

• Enjoy a clearly defined career trajectory from Credit Controller to Head of Finance as the US business expands, supported by global leadership.
• Work in an inclusive, collaborative environment where your expertise in credit control and financial management will be highly valued and rewarded.

What you'll do:

As Credit Controller, you will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of credit management within the US facility. Your day-to-day activities will centre on assessing customer creditworthiness, managing accounts receivable processes, developing policies that protect company interests, supporting sales teams during negotiations, resolving disputes efficiently, preparing detailed financial reports, leading budgeting efforts, maintaining rigorous internal controls, overseeing inventory accounting functions, and liaising with auditors. Success in this role requires you to be proactive in identifying risks, responsive in addressing challenges collaboratively across departments, and committed to upholding high standards of accuracy in all financial matters. You will have significant autonomy but also benefit from being part of a knowledgeable global network that supports your professional growth.

• Conduct thorough financial analysis of new and existing customers to assess creditworthiness and recommend appropriate credit limits that support business growth while minimizing risk.
• Proactively manage and monitor the accounts receivable ledger, ensuring timely collection of payments and minimizing exposure to bad debt across all customer accounts.
• Establish, implement, and maintain robust credit control policies and procedures that align with company strategy and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate closely with US sales teams to facilitate sales opportunities while mitigating financial risk, acting as the finance liaison during high-value negotiations.
• Manage complex billing and payment disputes by working across departments to find quick, effective resolutions that maintain positive customer relationships.
