Credit Controller (German Speaking) Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid – Cambridgeshire

Let’s be honest—no one grows up dreaming of chasing unpaid invoices in German. But if you do get a weird sense of satisfaction from a neatly balanced ledger and a customer finally paying up after four polite nudges… this one’s for you.

We’re on the lookout for a fluent German speaker to join our credit control team. Someone who’s confident, calm, and isn’t fazed by awkward conversations or spreadsheets. You’ll be managing your own accounts, building relationships, solving problems, and generally making sure the cash keeps flowing.

What you'll actually be doing: Looking after your own portfolio of German-speaking customers across EMEA

Calling and emailing to chase payments—firm but fair wins the race

Investigating invoice queries (read: sleuthing through emails and system notes)

Working closely with Sales and Support to get things resolved quickly

Keeping everything tidy in the system and making month-end a little less painful

What you’ll need: Fluent German and English (and yes, both matter—we check)

Experience in credit control or accounts receivable (if it’s across regions/currencies, even better)

A good phone manner and the kind of tone that makes people want to pay

Sharp attention to detail—small mistakes in this job = big problems later

A cool head under pressure, and the ability to prioritise when things get busy

Nice-to-haves: Netsuite experience or similar ERP system

Knowledge of how businesses pay (and delay paying) across Europe

Why you might not like it: If you hate the phone and avoid awkward conversations, this won’t be your thing

We move quickly—if you need lots of hand-holding or endless checklists, you might find it overwhelming

It’s finance. It’s not always glamorous. Sometimes it’s just you, your ledger, and a long to-do list

You’ll need to chase people (nicely, but firmly). Some will be lovely. Some… less so

But if you like a bit of structure, a lot of autonomy, and the satisfaction of seeing your ledger squeaky clean—this is a solid gig. You’ll be part of a down-to-earth, supportive team where we all muck in, keep it real, and get the job done.

Fancy it? Let’s talk.
