This is a great role if you are looking to take your finance career to the next level by gaining large company experience through supporting our Transactional Services Finance team. We are looking for an Accounts Receivable Officer to join our exceptional Accounts Receivable team.

The Warehouse Group looks after some of Aotearoa’s most famous and beloved retail brands, including The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery and Noel Leeming.

This role sits within our Transactional Services team. We will rely on your end to end understanding of the accounts receivable and credit control processes.

On any day you could be liaising with the wider finance team, through to our stores, operations team or our customers - so your ability to build relationships through trust, confidence and your actions will sum up success in the role.

Key components of your role include the end-to-end process of the following tasks:

- New customer account setup - working within the standard operating procedure, reviewing credit worthiness
- Payment allocations received from customer remittance advises.
- Resolve unmatched & unreconciled open items by doing reconciliations on accounts and liaising with the customers and wider business for resolution.
- Correct discrepancies if required or investigate further for escalation to store manager / operations / loss prevention / internal audit on a timely basis and within team KPIs.

- Training on cross functional team processes.
- Achieve personal and team KPI’s set and agreed upon.
- Any other projects or workstreams that may be required from time to time.

Professional, solution focused, and customer centric describe you down to a t. Equally important is your strong communication (written and oral) skills and high attention to detail and strong negotiation skills along with your knack to cope well under pressure.

Your energetic and flexible work approach will see you fit in well, especially as our team structure continues to take shape and evolve.

To hit the ground running we expect you will possess AR and credit control experience - in an end to end environment. Oracle experience would be a bonus, however not necessary provided you are system and Excel savvy we are open to your technical skillset. Of most importance is attitude and a growth mindset.
