We're your dream finance team


We are looking for a Collections Specialist who will be responsible for facilitating the communication and relationship building necessary to collect the invoices due from client within specified payment terms.

Why Mimecast?

We're fast thinking. We go big to reach our cyberattack-disrupting goals.

And we do what we need to protect the world of business from getting important (and potentially compromising) data stolen.

We never leave anyone behind. We deliver quickly - and outstandingly. We're big on honesty because it makes us better. We're empowered by our mission.

And if cybercriminals have a good day, we work twice as hard to make the rest of their days a nightmare.

That's The Mimecast Way.

And the Mimecast way is also a hybrid-working way.

We empower our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team, and our stakeholders.

Become a Mimecaster and put corporate data under your protection. Fill our teams with respect. And bring cybercrime-obstructing energy to your work. Be passionate. Be powerful. Be alive with purpose.

DEI Statement

Cybersecurity is a community effort.

That's why we're committed to building an inclusive, diverse community that celebrates and welcomes everyone - unless they're a cybercriminal, of course.


We're proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, and we'd encourage you to join us whatever your background.

We particularly welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups.
