Position: Accounts Receivable Manager (BTR/SFH)

We're looking for an Accounts Receivable Manager to take ownership of and build a best-in-class AR function within a fast-growing residential property platform. Build something from the ground up!

This is not a “business as usual” role. You'll be joining at an early stage, with the opportunity to design processes, implement systems, and shape how receivables are managed across a growing portfolio of homes. If you enjoy building, improving, and making a tangible impact, this is a rare opportunity to create something from scratch and grow it into a high-performing team.

The Role

You will lead the end-to-end accounts receivable function, taking full responsibility for how income flows through the business — from billing and rent collection through to arrears management and reporting.

Starting as a hands‑on individual contributor, you will play a key role in setting up systems, controls and processes, before scaling the function and building out a team as the portfolio grows.

Key responsibilities include:

AR Operations & Performance
  • Manage all aspects of AR including billing, rent collection, reconciliations, cash allocation and arrears management
  • Deliver accurate, timely reporting and ensure clean, audit-ready ledgers
  • Implement strong financial controls and ensure compliance with audit requirements
  • Lead the month‑end AR process and maintain full data integrity
Process Build & System Implementation
  • Design and implement AR procedures, controls and policies from the ground up
  • Play a key role in property management system implementation and configuration
  • Identify automation opportunities to improve efficiency and resident experience
  • Support onboarding of new buildings and portfolios with smooth transitions
Commercial & Performance Focus
  • Drive strong cash collection and minimise arrears and bad debt
  • Monitor and report on KPIs such as collection rates, ageing debt and cash flow
  • Manage relationships with external partners (debt recovery, legal, payment providers)
Customer & Stakeholder Experience
  • Ensure all resident interactions are handled with clarity, professionalism and empathy
  • Partner closely with operational teams to resolve queries and improve processes
  • Design simple, transparent resident‑facing billing and payment experiences
Team Growth & Leadership
  • Begin as a standalone role and build and lead the AR team as the business scales
  • Shape a culture focused on accuracy, accountability and continuous improvement
About You

We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, evolving environment and enjoys building structure where it doesn't yet exist.

You will bring:
  • Proven experience managing accounts receivable in a high-volume environment, ideally within real estate or residential property
  • Experience designing processes and controls from scratch
  • Strong track record of cash collection performance and arrears reduction
  • Experience with finance systems and property management platforms
  • Confidence working both hands‑on and strategically, with the potential to build and lead a team
Why Apply?
  • Rare opportunity to build an AR function from the ground up
  • Be part of a rapidly growing residential platform
  • Work in a high-impact role with real ownership and
