Full job descriptionWe are recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing media and events business based in central London. Our client is looking for a sharp, personable Credit Controller to join its finance team and take ownership of collections across a varied commercial ledger.


This is a brilliant opportunity for a Credit Controller who enjoys a fast-paced environment and wants to be part of a business where finance is genuinely valued as a partner to the rest of the company.


Location: London
Employment: Permanent, full-time


The Role


• Managing collections across a ledger of agency, brand and commercial clients.
• Chasing payments by phone and email with a professional, persistent approach.
• Reconciling accounts and resolving invoice and billing queries quickly.
• Credit checking new clients and recommending appropriate payment terms.
• Producing weekly aged debt reports and monthly collections commentary.
• Working closely with account managers to resolve disputes without damaging client relationships.
• Supporting the Financial Controller with month-end and cash flow forecasting.


A Typical Day


You will start by reviewing overnight payments and updating the ledger, then plan your priority calls for the day. Much of your time is spent speaking with clients and internal account teams, chasing payment and untangling the queries that hold things up. In a media business the pace is quick and the relationships matter — you will be as much a diplomat as a collector.


What We Are Looking For


• Proven credit control experience, ideally in media, events, agency or a similar B2B environment.
• Excellent communication skills and a confident telephone manner.
• Strong Excel skills and experience with modern finance systems.
• The ability to stay organised and calm in a busy, deadline-driven environment.
• A commercial mindset — you understand the balance between collecting cash and keeping clients happy.
• CICM qualification or part-qualification is welcome but not essential.


What You Can Expect


• A permanent, full-time role in a growing, exciting business.
• 28 days’ paid annual leave including bank holidays.
• Hybrid working with three days in the London office.
• Regular team socials and a genuinely fun place to work.
• Clear progression as the finance team grows with the business.
