      <title>Dutch Finance Administrators – Accounts Payable and Banking</title>
      <description>Title: Dutch Finance Administrators – Accounts Payable and Banking&lt;br&gt;
Salary: £competitive + benefits&lt;br&gt;
Location: Birmingham - West Midlands, United Kingdom&lt;br&gt;
Languages: English, Dutch&lt;br&gt;
Posted: 2nd Dec 2008&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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? &lt;br /&gt;

And we need the best talent on our team to make it happen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;

And we need the best talent on our team to make it happen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your far-reaching talents won’t be purely financial – they’ll be linguistic too. As well as English, you’ll need to be fluent in Dutch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an accountant, you’ll use your full CIMA and ACCA qualification to work closely with European colleagues, identifying areas for improvement and streamlining processes within Financial Accounting. We’ll also look to you to resolve problems and help to produce quarterly and year end accounts and budgets, including preparing for Subsidiaries Undertakings within the Claire’s Group.  You’ll need to have time spent preparing month end accounts for multi-sited/ departmental organisations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an analyst, you’ll work closely with European colleagues, providing timely data and accurate analysis when closing our monthly accounts. Never a dull moment, you’ll move between the financial accounting and planning teams, to gain an inside-out knowledge of our Finance function. Part qualified (CIMA or ACCA), with a degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, you’ll have solid experience of closing month end accounts within a similar Financial Analyst role. And your broad knowledge of finance will span from reporting and analysis, to budgeting and the use of systems such as Oracle Financials. You’ll have a meticulous eye for accuracy and you’ll be a flexible, motivated asset to any team. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In return, we offer abundant opportunity, support (including generous financial funding towards professional qualifications) and encouragement.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>German &amp; French Speaking Export Sales </title>
      <description>Title: German &amp; French Speaking Export Sales &lt;br&gt;
Salary: £22k per annum&lt;br&gt;
Location: West Midlands, United Kingdom&lt;br&gt;
Languages: French, German&lt;br&gt;
Posted: 1st Dec 2008&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
German &amp; French Speaking Export Sales &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Location: West Midlands&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ref: PL525&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our Client an international company is currently seeking to recruit German &amp; French Speaking Export Sales Executive for their offices in the West Midlands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Job Role&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Duties could include sales negotiation with overseas customers and some cost calculations, together with all associated administration and promotion of our products to export customers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Training will be provided but oral and written fluency in these languages and the ability to work on your own initiative are prerequisites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are currently two other personnel in the small export department and it operates almost as a company within a larger company so all aspects of sales and company procedures would be undertaken including (but not limited to) dealing with customer inbound payments, chasing slow accounts, liaising with production departments within the company, dealing with customer enquiries and orders, negotiating with customers, processing of quotations and customer orders, some purchasing, filing, copying etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company also operates a much larger separate UK sales department at the same site and some internal liaising and negotiation between the two departments will be required. However the majority of the time will be spent with the other two existing export personnel in the export department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Candidate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basic math’s ability to GCSE (or equivalent) standard is required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only candidates speaking French, German and English with full UK / EU driving license will be considered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst the role is primarily office based there may be an opportunity available after training for overseas sales visits which would eventually be unaccompanied (hence the necessity for a full UK / EU driving license), however whilst this would be preferable it may not be obligatory for the 'right' candidate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our products are specialised curved steel components and are only produced on a large scale within the UK by ourselves and a small number of other UK based companies, however we do have active competition in Europe and elsewhere in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salary: £22k per annum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There will be an annual paid holiday entitlement + statutory and bank holidays&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A contributory pension scheme is in place for employees after completing 12 months service. Employee pension contributions up to and including 3% of salary will be matched by the company. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part time working hours will be 07.45 am until 12.30 pm Monday to Friday (inclusive).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any overtime worked will be paid for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a 'long term' position and is open to all applicable candidates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This role carries a six month probationary period.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To apply for this role please contact Paul Lawton on 0845 226 4748 or email your CV to paul@merrow.co.uk&lt;br /&gt;
