Job Ref

This is a newly created position that combines elements of compliance, administration, commercial coordination and light financial analysis. The role has evolved from an audit-focused position, but the company has concluded that a qualified auditor is not necessary. Instead, they are seeking an organised, inquisitive individual who enjoys working with people, managing processes and ensuring information is accurate.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage the annual licence renewal process with distributors and licensees.
  • Liaise with licensees to ensure agreements are completed and maintained.
  • Keep licence records up to date and chase outstanding documentation.
  • Monitor monthly/periodic volume declarations submitted by licensees.
  • Follow up with customers to ensure reporting deadlines are met.
  • Carry out volume verification audits by comparing reported sales against customer accounting records.
  • Conduct audits remotely via Microsoft Teams or onsite across Europe.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with commercial partners.
  • Support the wider finance and commercial teams with administrative and compliance activities.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Highly organised.
  • Confident communicating by phone and email.
  • Comfortable working with numbers without being a qualified accountant.
  • Naturally inquisitive and willing to challenge figures that don't look right.
  • Process-driven with strong attention to detail.
  • Happy working across administration, compliance and commercial activities.
  • Comfortable travelling within Europe several times a year.

Experience

Suitable backgrounds could include:

  • Compliance Coordinator
  • Commercial Administrator
  • Office Manager
  • Operations Coordinator
  • Audit Assistant
  • Finance Administrator
  • Licensing or Contracts Administrator

A technical audit or accounting qualification is not essential. The emphasis is on mindset, organisation and communication rather than technical accounting knowledge.
