Job Description

About us:
Linklaters is a multi-national commercial law firm, with 31 offices in 21 countries worldwide.
We have been named as one of The Times' Top 50 Employers for Women, recognised by Stonewall as a top employer for LGBTQ+ inclusion, and by the Social Mobility Employer Index as a top employer for advancing social mobility.
We recognise that one size does not fit all. Our goal is to embed flexibility across our firm by giving everyone the opportunity to work in an agile way, whether as a regular pattern or on an ad hoc basis, and we will be happy to discuss this further.
We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the legal industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do! At Linklaters, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and strongly encourage you to apply.
About the role:
As a Senior Revenue Advisor, you will oversee the end-to-end management of Work-in-Progress (WIP) and cash collection cycles, working closely with Partners and other key stakeholders.

• Act as a key contact for the eBilling team, ensuring smooth operations and participating in regular update meetings.
• Drive our Net Investment objectives by influencing fee earners on financial best practices and maintaining up-to-date financial hygiene.

We are ideally looking for:

• Experience: At least two years' professional experience in managing the Working Capital Cycle within a professional services environment.
• Knowledge: Strong expertise in VAT, Solicitors Accounts Rules, and billing processes.
• Skills: Proficiency in Excel; experience with SAP and financial reporting tools is desirable.
• Character: Assertiveness, business acumen, and an ability to build strong networks within a collaborative workplace.

This role is based at the Linklaters London office with a hybrid working model available.
