Do you enjoy unpicking complex revenue movements and turning them into numbers the business can trust?
We’re looking for an Interim Revenue Analyst to join Jagex on a 12-month fixed-term contract, supporting key revenue accounting, reconciliation and reporting across Finance. You’ll help ensure revenue is recognised accurately, month-end close runs smoothly, and financial records remain robust, complete and well controlled.
What makes this role stand out is the opportunity to do more than deliver business-as-usual revenue accounting. You’ll play a direct role in improving how Jagex manages high-volume revenue data, supporting the transition from manual reconciliation processes towards more scalable, automated ways of working.
You’ll work across multiple systems, billing data, PSP platforms and revenue outputs, helping the business understand what is driving revenue movements and giving senior stakeholders confidence in the integrity of the numbers during an important period of change.
What you’ll be doing:
- Own the monthly revenue recognition process, consolidating and validating data from multiple source systems so revenue is recognised and deferred accurately.
- Prepare monthly revenue and deferred revenue journals, ensuring calculations are fully supported and completed within month-end close timelines.
- Reconcile revenue calculations, billing systems and PSP platforms such as PayPal and Adyen, resolving discrepancies to protect the completeness and accuracy of reported revenue.
- Analyse large, complex revenue datasets across multiple systems and journal postings, turning fragmented outputs into clear, reliable financial insight.
- Run and interrogate SQL-based data extracts, using the outputs to support revenue calculations, reconciliations and variance investigations.
- Develop, maintain and enhance advanced Excel models and reconciliations, using tools such as Power Query and Power Pivot to improve control, scalability and efficiency.
- Support the establishment and maintenance of revenue reconciliations for the new Chargebee billing platform, helping ensure reporting continuity through the transition from legacy systems.
- Identify opportunities to automate, simplify and strengthen revenue accounting processes, reducing manual effort while maintaining accuracy and control.
What we’re looking for:
- Qualified Accountant status, such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA.
- Demonstrable experience in revenue accounting, including revenue recognition, deferred revenue, accruals, journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations.
- Proven experience performing detailed reconciliations from source-system data through to financial reporting and general ledger postings.
- Strong experience working with large, complex datasets in a finance or accounting environment, including consolidating data from multiple sources into accurate financial outputs.
- Advanced Excel experience, including complex formulas, structured workbooks, Power Query and Power Pivot.
- Demonstrable experience working with payment processing or transaction-based systems, including PSP settlement and cash-flow processes such as PayPal, Adyen or similar platforms.
- Basic SQL skills or proven experience extracting and validating data directly from source systems.
What we offer:
When you join Jagex you can look forward to a generous Perks & Benefits package including:
- Private Healthcare, including Dental Plan.
- Discretionary annual performance bonus.
- Minimum 6% Pension contributions.
- Life Insurance.
- Enhanced family leave policies from day 1.
- Flexible working hours.
- 25 days annual leave + Bank holidays & the option to buy/sell holidays + so much more!
