As an Accounts Receivable Analyst, you will have the opportunity to tap into your curiosity and collaborate with some of the most innovative and diverse people around the world. Here, you will make an impact by:

• Log, categorise and track customer or internal queries, ensuring records are complete and up to date.
• Prepare and distribute routine daily, weekly and monthly reports using approved templates.
• Update Excel trackers, reconcile information between reports and highlight missing, overdue or inconsistent items.
• Download and organise remittance, payment and deduction information from approved sources or customer portals.
• Support invoice and payment administration by checking basic information and escalating exceptions for review.
• Follow up with internal teams for status updates and maintain a clear record of outstanding actions.
• Maintain document folders, standard work instructions, templates and supporting evidence in line with team requirements.
• Complete routine data entry and system updates accurately and within agreed timelines.
• Follow company policies, standard processes, data privacy requirements and escalation pathways.
• Provide competent back-up support to the Japan AR SME for defined activities, following documented procedures and escalating complex or non-standard matters.
• Manage assigned workload independently, prioritising recurring deadlines, urgent requests and follow-up actions.
• Provide general operational support to the Revenue Operations team and assist with ad hoc reporting or process-improvement activities.
