Knauf Australia is looking for a candidate with experience in a large integrated receivables system (preferably SAP). A good understanding of accounting concepts, along with a background working with Credit reporting databases (i.e. Equifax or Dun & Bradstreet) will also be required.
It is critical you be confident in your knowledge, with the ability to think things through and problem solve.
