Team Manager - Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable

What is the role about?
You will own the performance of the AR and AP teams, driving hiring, coaching, and development while ensuring the complete cash‑in / cash‑out lifecycle runs smoothly. As the key liaison between Finance, Sales, Procurement and external partners, you’ll balance operational efficiency with financial integrity, guaranteeing accurate posting, timely collections and disbursements, and robust internal controls. Working closely with the Group Controller, you’ll support month‑end close, cash‑flow forecasting and the overall health of the organisation’s cash position.

This role is essential for the organisation’s financial health and operational efficiency. By optimising both receivable and payable cycles, you will support Finance in maintaining high‑quality standards for customer and vendor transactions, improving dispute resolution, and safeguarding liquidity—directly enhancing customer satisfaction, supplier confidence and business continuity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, coach, mentor and train new and existing AR/AP team members to improve performance and develop skills.

• Coordinate daily operations within the AR and AP teams and serve as the first point of contact for any operational or procedural issues.

• Lead collection efforts, monitor ageing reports, enforce credit policies and resolve customer disputes; forecast cash inflows and support treasury liquidity planning; maintain and improve AR cycle‑time and related KPIs; manage bad‑debt provision reporting and follow‑up; oversee relationships with credit‑collection agencies while balancing strict credit control with customer satisfaction.

• Design, document and continually improve AR/AP workflows, emphasising automation, segregation of duties, approval matrices and automated exception handling; keep global process documentation up‑to‑date and ensure local compliance with those standards.

• Manage a KPI dashboard covering cash forecast, ageing, DSO/DPO, write‑offs and other metrics; partner with the Business Intelligence team to deliver ad‑hoc analyses for senior leadership.

Requirements:

• 4–7 years of relevant experience in accounts receivable, accounts payable or a comparable financial role.

• Demonstrated managerial experience leading finance or accounting teams (hiring, performance management, coaching).

• Solid understanding of AR and AP processes, credit‑control and cash‑management principles.

• Proficiency with financial systems and MS Office applications (especially Excel).

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.

• Experience with SAP is a plus.

• Customer‑focused with a solution‑oriented approach.

Benefits:
The salary for this position ranges from €47822 to €61560  annually (including holiday allowance), depending on experience and skills, with internal equity taken into account. In addition to salary we offer:

• Participation in the annual company bonus scheme, a company pension and a monthly Internet allowance.

• 25 days of paid time off (with the option to buy or sell up to 5 more days).

• Free lunch and parking, the best coffee (if we say so ourselves), and fresh fruit provided daily (when in the office).

• Access to the Leaseweb Academy, a personalised learning platform offering a variety of studies, courses and trainings.

• Free in‑house Dutch courses.

• Fun events year‑round – from virtual pub quizzes to summer parties, company runs, quarterly hackathons and much more.

• A multicultural work environment (our colleagues in HQ alone are from over 40 countries!) in a company where you can truly make a difference.
