We have an excellent opportunity for a Billing Manager to join our Finance Team. This is a permanent role based in Edinburgh.

About the Department

Over the past three years Abrdn’s Finance function has undergone a transformation to:

This Centre of Excellence manages our outsourced relationship/activities for Accounts Payable, Expenses, Banking and Client Billing, together with Finance Systems, as well as performing our Operational Control activities to oversee the controlled production of the general ledger. In addition this Centre of Excellence includes dedicated Procurement and Business Management Teams.

    We are driven in our desire to meet the needs of our business customers (arranged as three businesses – Investments, Advisor, and Personal) as well as our colleagues and wider stakeholders. We are in the final phase of our strategic plan, working to improve our efficiency and effectiveness, making best use of our transformative investment to achieve top quartile performance.

    • Build and maintain close relationships with Client Services, Business CFOs and other key stakeholders across abrdn

    • Support client and business inspired change projects, in particular simplification and consolidation of Phoenix fee and billing arrangements and the revenue enrichment requirements of Client Profitability

    • Engage with internal and external auditors as required

      About the Candidate Requirements

  • Ability to lead, motivate and influence within the function and across the organisation

Excellent interpersonal and communication and supplier management skills

Ability to manage multi-stakeholder relationships, at all levels of the organisation

Financially literate – able to understand profit and loss accounts, balance sheets and the impact of cash flow
