• Possess strong communication skills for dealing with external customers and managing the financial relationship

• Apply a deep, comprehensive understanding of complex contracts and the nuances between brand-to-brand agreements

• Demonstrate expertise in Excel and the accounts receivable cycle

What’s the company culture? We are looking for individuals who are:

• Team of Doers - Someone who is a part of a team of doers uplifts team members and recognizes their specific contributions, takes initiative to help in any circumstance, actively contributes to supporting improvements, and holds themselves accountable to the team as well as to partners.

What is my potential for career growth?

• As the Accounts Receivable Manager, you will be joining a high-growth accounting team with potential for advancement. Exceptional performance in this role can lead to promotion opportunities such as Senior Accounts Receivable Manager or Director of Accounts Receivable . Career progression is performance-dependent, driven by your ability to master complex contracts, lead with an action-oriented mindset, and successfully manage partner relationships. 

What does success look like in the first 30, 60, 90 days?

• First 30 days: You will immediately focus on stabilizing the accounts receivable function to address the backfill urgency and ensure operational continuity by establishing key working relationships with team members. Your primary goal will be to master the existing AR cycle and payment follow-up processes while starting a deep-dive review into a sample of the complex, non-standard contracts.

• Next 60 days: You will take full, independent ownership of the end-to-end contract review process, ensuring you comprehend all underlying billing, legal, and operational patterns, while also actively managing the financial onboarding of new brands and coaching the Accounts Receivable Specialist. You will demonstrate a proactive, "action-oriented" mindset by identifying and proposing a solution for at least one critical process gap related to complex contract review.

• Following 90 days: You will fully implement approved process improvements designed to mitigate brand attrition and secure owed funds, leveraging a highly thorough and effective legal contact perspective. At this stage, you must be operating as the subject matter expert on all complex brand-to-brand contracts, leading the AR function while demonstrating the crucial "Partner-Obsessed" balance of maximizing cash collection and strengthening external customer relationships.

What is the team like?

• You will work with the other accounting team members and brand counterparts and be supervised by the Brand Accounting Manager. You will also be mentored by the VP of Accounting and meet with them on a regular basis to discuss your performance. This team is data driven and results oriented. You will collaborate regularly with members of your team to implement actionable solutions. Ideas and input are encouraged from all members.
