We’re looking for a Fleet Finance Specialist to help us run a slick, efficient back-office that enables our sales and customer service teams to provide great service to customers. You will be a key link between the central finance team and the local Commercial, Operational & Sales departments.

We are looking for someone who has a great eye for detail, who is comfortable in owning a process and is always looking for ways to improve as the business grows.

Review the payments we make to our funders each month to ensure they match expectations and help to resolve any queries
Help to prepare monthly reporting packs for our funders (i.e. pulling together information including management accounts, KPIs on fleet growth, new clients on-boarded etc.)
Help to prepare for funder audits
Help to project manage our credit proposal process for B2B clients
Own the process of recording which funders we have brokered leases for each month and providing Finance with the information they need to invoice our commission payments
Work with our Finance and Operations teams to review monthly invoicing and direct debits
Work with the wider teams to put in place the processes and systems that you will need to deliver on the responsibilities above efficiently

What you’ll need

Excellent attention to detail as some parts will be repetitive but accuracy is extremely important
Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to tailor communication style to achieve maximum impact upon relevant situations and audience
The ability to manage multiple tasks and a wide range of stakeholders
A positive ‘can do’ attitude with confidence in your own abilities

What you’ll love about us…
