Selfridges has sales of over £1b a year which are received through a variety of payment channels.
The Finance Manager - Payments takes a lead role in delivering and improving the accounting for these payments and their associated costs.

As a Finance Manager you will:

• Deliver the reconciliation of sales to receipts from payment suppliers; ensuring that all sales are backed by cash, that fx, chargebacks and refunds are correctly accounted for, and that our payment suppliers are remitting cash in line with their contracts.
• Deliver the accounting for payment related costs; producing budgets and forecasts, accounting for actual costs each month, and providing commentary on trends and variances.
• Manage and develop a Finance Analyst.
• Work on the year-end financial accounts and audit, both specifically in relation to payments and more generally contributing to the year-end process as a senior member of the finance team.
• Work on payment related projects across the business, for instance establishing the accounting for new payment methods, or helping to on-board concession partners with non-standard payment processes.
• Work with the Financial Controller, other teams, and external consultants, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Selfridges’ payment processes.
• Work with the Financial Controller, IT and Procurement on projects to select and on-board new payment providers, or to renegotiate terms with existing payment suppliers.
