In this role, you will manage the end‑to‑end Order to Cash process for Schools and Groups customers. You’ll work collaboratively with attractions and internal stakeholders to issue accurate billing, proactively chase payments, and handle queries with sensitivity to the specific needs and timelines of schools. Your focus will be on excellent service, strong communication, and maintaining positive long‑term relationships while protecting cashflow.

For both the Trade and Schools & Groups roles you will bring:

• Experience in accounts receivable, billing, credit control, or sales ledger work (or a relevant finance degree)
• Confidence managing a full O2C cycle including billing, collections, query resolution, and cash allocation
• Strong customer relationship skills, with experience engaging internal and external stakeholders
• The ability to work to strict deadlines, including month‑end
• A proactive, resilient approach to chasing outstanding payments and resolving issues
• Intermediate Excel skills and strong attention to detail
