🧾 Why This Role Matters

Billing Operations sits at the heart of the customer journey.

You’ll help make sure orders are processed correctly, invoices and customer information are accurate, software licences are available when needed and problems are resolved quickly.

It’s a role where accuracy, ownership and customer service all matter – your work directly affects both our customers and the teams supporting them.

👥 About the Team You'll Join

You’ll join an established Billing Operations team of around 50 colleagues across the UK and India.

It’s a busy and collaborative environment, with the team working together to manage customer requests, meet service levels and keep orders and billing activity moving.

You’ll manage your own workload while having experienced colleagues around you to share knowledge, solve problems and provide support.

• Be a first point of contact for billing, order and account queries from customers and internal teams.

• Investigate and resolve invoicing issues, order queries and account discrepancies, keeping people updated along the way.

• Process sales orders and contract renewals, including those requiring discounts, approvals or special requirements.

• Raise credit notes and refunds where appropriate.

• Set up new customer records and accurately maintain existing accounts.

• Support product dispatch and initial setup, including helping resolve software licensing issues.

• Work closely with Sales, Finance, Support and other teams to progress and resolve queries.

• Complete regular operational activities accurately and within agreed KPIs, SLAs and deadlines.

• Share knowledge with colleagues and contribute ideas that improve processes, accuracy and customer experience.
