Position: Client Funds Accountant (ARCS/FPT) – 12-Month FTC
Reporting to: Client Funds Manager
Department: Global Financial Services
An exciting opportunity exists to join the Client Funds & Reconciliations team, which is responsible for efficient control and management of approximately $400 million of customer cash, a cornerstone of Flutter’s strategy. Reporting to the Client Funds Manager, the role will handle month-end balance sheet accounting activities across multiple brands and currencies to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial data.

The role involves developing a strong understanding of the Client Funds key control processes, building relationships across many departments, including Group Financial Control, Treasury, Global Revenue, Product, and Data teams to ensure alignment and buy‑in across all stakeholders. Flutter is a growing business, so there will be exposure to projects that integrate new products, payment methods, and jurisdictions, and the role will also contribute to key projects that align ways of working across the Flutter Group.
