The role..

We’re looking for a Sales Ledger Royalty Specialist to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term contract basis. Reporting directly to the Sales Ledger Manager, your core purpose will be to support the critical Royalties & FAST billing project for Global Partnerships.

This is a dynamic, high-impact project role where you will take responsibility for executing the end-to-end FAST Royalty billing and reporting cycle. Balancing precise data alignment with parent-system compliance, you will play a key part in helping us challenge the status quo, streamline work practices, and ensure the absolute integrity of our royalty accounts.

Some of your key day to day responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the end-to-end FAST Royalty billing process to ensure seamless operational workflows.
• Ensuring all FAST Royalty statements are reviewed and strictly aligned with our active licence agreements.
• Preparing necessary working files and reporting data for FAST via the WHIP platform.
• Entering FAST Royalty statements accurately into our core rights management system (PARIS).
• Raising FAST Royalty invoices and processing corresponding cash allocations for FAST Royalty licences.
• Partnering with the wider finance team to drive continuous improvement, enhance transactional efficiency, and reduce manual billing effort.
• Ensuring all sales ledger and billing activities are conducted in full compliance with corporate credit and audit controls.

Skills you’ll need (minimum criteria)

• Proven experience working within a sales ledger environment, ideally within a high-volume transactional service centre.
• Strong numerical skills paired with a solid practical understanding of sub-ledger double-entry accounting.
• A clear comprehension of end-to-end financial processes and workflows.
• Strong working knowledge of a major ERP system (e.g., Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics).
• Advanced proficiency and hands-on skills in Microsoft Excel, including a comfort using VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables.
• Excellent attention to detail, strong accuracy, and a natural motivation to improve financial performance and outcomes.

Other things we’re looking for (key criteria)

• Effective planning skills with a demonstrated ability to prioritise a busy workload to hit tight reporting deadlines.
• A proactive, action-oriented approach with a focus on continuous learning, including a drive to stay abreast of changes in the digital world (such as new payment methods, digital invoicing platforms, and e-billing trends).
• A positive attitude and an openness to embrace and drive change, challenge the status quo, and try out new work practices to realise operational benefits.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an eagerness to understand what other departments do to contribute to mutual success.
• The ability to successfully prioritise your own mental and physical wellbeing during times of transformation and change to remain fresh.

Please note, on occasion we may receive a very large volume of applications which means applications for a role may close earlier than the referenced closing date. We’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible if interested.
