CREDIT CONTROLLER

OUR MISSION

To become the car-changing destination of choice. By combining technology, media and deep automotive expertise, we've turned how

people buy, sell, advertise and lease cars on its head.

What started as a simple reviews site is now one of the largest online car-changing destinations in Europe. Last year alone we

grew over 50% with nearly £3bn worth of cars bought on site, while £1.8bn of cars were listed for sale through our Sell My Car

service.

In 2024 we went big and acquired Autovia - creators of AutoExpress and Evo magazines - doubling our audience overnight. Together

we now have one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with almost 10m subscribers and over 1.1 billion annual views, while

we sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines and have an annual web content reach over 350million.

And we’re a long way from done!

FINANCE @ CARWOW

The finance team at Carwow goes far beyond traditional reporting; we are the operational engine that drives commercial scalability

across the business. The credit control function you will lead is a talented, multi-regional group managing everything from

intricate billing structures to automated dunning cycles. To take this team to the next level, we are not looking for a

traditional debt-collection supervisor. We are searching for an operational powerhouse. We value high-level operational

management, workflow optimisation, and process-design experience far more than a strict, traditional credit control background.

Your success in this role will depend on your ability to untangle complex workflows, drive automation and AI initiatives, master

systems like NetSuite and Salesforce, and seamlessly connect our financial operations with the wider commercial business. You will

be taking the helm of a team that is eager for structural guidance and clear career progression, making this the perfect

opportunity for a leader who excels at building scalable systems and developing people just as much as they excel at protecting

the ledger.

YOUR MISSION

This is an individual-contributor Credit Controller role. You'll take direct, hands-on ownership of a live ledger within one of

our core business units, working credit control the way it actually happens inside a fast-moving scale-up: fast cash allocation,

sharp dunning cycles, and a bias for fixing the process, not just chasing the invoice. You'll sit within a talented,

multi-regional Credit Control team spanning the UK and Portugal, working closely with your Credit Control Lead and peers across

our multiple business units. This is a genuinely fast-paced environment: priorities shift, ledgers grow, and the tools we use are

evolving constantly as we push automation and AI deeper into the function. If you're looking for a slower, process-heavy corporate

credit control role with fixed procedures and limited variety, this isn't it. If you want real ownership of a ledger from day one,

plenty of variety, and the chance to shape how a growing team works, we want to hear from you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Own the end-to-end credit control cycle for your assigned ledger, from dunning through to cash allocation and query resolution.

Proactively chase outstanding debt and manage the collections cadence to hit DSO and cash collection targets.

Investigate and resolve customer disputes and billing queries quickly, working directly with commercial stakeholders where

needed.

Keep NetSuite and Salesforce records accurate and up to date, and flag data or process issues before they become bigger

problems.

Support the rollout of automation and AI tools within credit control, adopting new ways of working as the team's processes

evolve.

Work closely with your Credit Control Lead and wider Portugal-based team to share knowledge, cover ledgers during absence, and

keep cross-territory ways of working consistent.

Contribute to a fast-changing environment by flagging inefficiencies and suggesting practical fixes, rather than waiting to be

told what to improve.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

Some experience in credit control, accounts receivable, or a similar collections-focused finance role.

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment — priorities and processes here shift as we scale, and

you'll need to be genuinely energised by that, not just tolerant of it.

A proactive, ownership-driven mindset: you chase things down rather than waiting for them to be chased for you.

Confident communicator, comfortable investigating and resolving disputes directly with customers and internal stakeholders.

Strong attention to detail and comfortable managing a high volume of accounts and cases at once.

Genuinely excited by process improvement and automation — this is not a role for someone who wants to run a fixed, unchanging

process.

Start-up or scale-up experience is a strong plus; if your background is entirely in large, slow-moving corporate environments,

this role is unlikely to be the right fit.

BONUS POINTS

Previous experience working with UK based clients.

Practical, hands-on experience with systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, Excel or Google Sheets (or a fast willingness to

learn them).

Exposure to automation or AI tools used to streamline credit control or finance operations, even in a small or informal way.

Experience working within a business that operates across multiple countries or currencies.

Experience working alongside a small, remote or hybrid finance team and comfortable collaborating cross-border day to day.
