Location: Cambridge, UK – This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of two days per week in our Cambridge office. Applicants should be based (or willing to relocate) within a comfortable commuting distance of our office to attend onsite as required.

Do you enjoy unpicking complex revenue movements and turning them into numbers the business can trust?

We’re looking for an Interim Revenue Accountant to join Jagex on a 6-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.
