As one of Europe’s leading consumer electronics retailers, we operate in a fast-paced and dynamic environment where change, innovation, and growth are part of our daily business. With many different stakeholders, processes, and financial flows, there is always something happening.

To strengthen our finance team, we are looking for a Credit Controller who enjoys bringing structure to complexity. Someone who thrives on creating order in a dynamic environment, takes ownership, and has the drive to improve processes while ensuring strong financial control.

You will work closely with internal teams such as Bonus Controlling, Bonus Billing, Commercial, Accounting, Treasury, and external suppliers.

Your role is key in improving cash flow, reducing outstanding balances, strengthening financial processes, and ensuring accurate reporting.
