Title: Dutch Finance Administrators � Accounts Payable and Banking

Posted: 2nd Dec 2008

Big things are happening here at Claire�s. A huge global brand (we already have more than 3,500 stores worldwide), we�re now focusing our considerable energies on bringing the latest fashion accessories to high streets all over Europe � and we mean, all over Europe. While we already have some 900 stores in 10 European countries, we�re set to boost that figure to 1,300 by 2012. Ambitious? Of course. Rewarding? You bet. And we need the best talent on our team to make it happen.

Talent wise, it�s languages that are critical: as well as English, you�ll need to be fluent in French, German or Dutch. And what will you be doing with such impressive skills?

In Accounts Payable, you�ll make sure all invoices, travel expenses and payments to employees and vendors are made promptly and accurately. Alongside this, you�ll also use your MS Office skills to ensure that we comply with payment terms, keep up our excellent payment record and capably control the department�s paperwork.

In banking, you�ll provide our European stores and internal customers with a prompt, professional banking service. And because you�re also incredibly organised and MS Office literate, we�ll also be looking to you to maintain bank reconciliation packages, inland and overseas payments, alongside answering queries from European colleagues.

Naturally, finance experience would be a definite plus, but as long as you have GCSEs in Maths and English at grade A to C (or equivalent) our training will take care of the rest - we offer abundant opportunity, support (including generous financial funding towards professional qualifications) and encouragement.

There really couldn�t be a better time to join us here at Claire�s. As we flourish, we�ll give you the opportunity to do the same � developing the skills you have, learning new ones and taking your career to places you never imagined. So, what are you waiting for?

When it comes to communications, clarity and consistency rule. Whether it�s a Claire�s store in Germany, Spain or Portugal, our literature has to have Claire�s written all over it. And with your translation skills, it will. And varied? Put it this way, one minute you�re translating all-important policy and procedures documents; the next, it�s a promotional poster for a brand spanking new product. So yes, you�ll need to be fantastically versatile and frighteningly thorough. And whatever the language, whatever the literature, your words lose nothing in translation � they still shout Claire�s through and through.

First things first. You�ll need to be fluent in English and German. Obviously, translation experience would be perfect. But if you�ve spent time in an admin environment where you�ve used your impressive language skills, we�d also love to hear from you.
