Credit Controller

Your scope of work

At MediaMarkt, we are constantly moving. As one of Europe’s leading consumer electronics retailers, we operate in a fast-paced and dynamic environment where change, innovation, and growth are part of our daily business. With many different stakeholders, processes, and financial flows, there is always something happening.

To strengthen our finance team, we are looking for a Credit Controller who enjoys bringing structure to complexity. Someone who thrives on creating order in a dynamic environment, takes ownership, and has the drive to improve processes while ensuring strong financial control.

As a Credit Controller within Bonus controlling, you are responsible for managing supplier receivables and ensuring timely collection and resolution of outstanding balances. You will manage your own supplier portfolio and take ownership of the complete credit management cycle, including cash collection, dispute management, account reconciliations, overdue receivables, and backlog recovery.

You will work closely with internal teams such as Bonus Controlling, Bonus Billing, Commercial, Accounting, Treasury, and external suppliers. Your role is key in improving cash flow, reducing outstanding balances, strengthening financial processes, and ensuring accurate reporting. This role is ideal for someone with strong credit management experience who enjoys working in an environment where not everything is perfectly structured yet and sees this as an opportunity to create clarity, improve processes, and make a real impact.

Key responsibilities 

• Manage an assigned portfolio of national and international supplier receivables.
• Proactively follow-up on overdue invoices and ensure clear payment commitments with suppliers.
• Take ownership of the full dispute management process, from identification to resolution and closure.
• Investigate differences, deductions, missing payments, and complex financial discrepancies.
• Work with internal stakeholders to resolve invoice, contract, calculation, and payment-related issues.
• Create and maintain collection plans, action lists, and recovery forecasts.
• Monitor credit risks and escalate financial risks, delays, and high-value outstanding balances.
• Perform supplier account reconciliations and resolve unidentified payments, short payments, and allocation differences.
• Support month-end closing activities and ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Analyse root causes of recurring issues and contribute to process improvements.
• Support Finance transformation projects, including automation, system improvements, and standardization of processes.

Who are you?

You are full of energy and thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. Variety in your work and new challenges give you extra drive to spot opportunities and take initiative. With your proactive mindset, you actively contribute to the team, as you believe the best results are achieved together. You switch easily and adapt quickly to what’s needed. Do you recognize yourself in this? Then you’re a perfect fit for MediaMarkt! 

• HBO-level education in Finance, Accountancy, Business Administration, Credit Management, Commercial Economics, or a related field.
• 2-5 years of relevant experience in credit management, accounts receivable, collections, or a similar financial role.
• Strong experience with supplier or customer portfolio management.
• Experience with dispute management and resolving complex financial issues.
• A strong understanding of ageing analysis, reconciliations, payment commitments, and cash collection processes.
• Excellent analytical skills and the ability to identify root causes behind financial differences.
• A structured and accurate way of working, with strong attention to detail.
• Confidence in communicating with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• A proactive mindset and the ability to work independently in a fast-changing environment.
• Strong Excel skills; experience with SAP and collection/dispute management tools is a plus.
