Role overview

The business is seeking an experienced Accounts Receivable specialist to take ownership of AR activity for the New Zealand market. The position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, working closely with different teams and improving how processes operate.

As the NZ Site Representative for Accounts Receivable, you will act as the main local contact for the regional Centre of Excellence AR team based in Malaysia. You will oversee daily AR activity, handle escalations, ensure local requirements are understood, and support the broader regional process. The role may occasionally require work outside standard business hours to support the regional team.

You will serve as the local subject matter expert for AR, with responsibilities including ageing review, credit control support, AR analysis, reconciliations and process accuracy. The role also contributes to cash flow, working capital management and internal control compliance.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the working relationship with the AR Centre of Excellence team and resolve issues efficiently.
• Work with Sales, Customer Service and Finance to close out AR-related queries.
• Monitor aged receivables and overdue accounts, and support credit control actions.
