We are seeking a highly motivated and strategic Accounts Receivable Group Manager to lead the transformation, standardisation, and optimisation of our Accounts Receivable (AR) and Credit functions. This is a pivotal leadership role where you will manage the onshore AR team, govern offshore service delivery, and oversee our managed service provider to ensure efficient and effective operations.
The ideal candidate will be hands-on, forward-thinking, and skilled at building strong stakeholder relationships, while driving continuous improvement to streamline collections and enhance working capital performance.

- Sustainability & Wellbeing: Promote a culture of safety, responsibility, and wellbeing within the team, championing initiatives such as Downer's mental health and wellbeing programs.

- Demonstrated experience managing offshore teams or service providers, with a track record of driving performance and continuous improvement.
