The role:
- Managing and recovering a portfolio of high-value, complex and aged debt, proactively chasing outstanding invoices and negotiating payment arrangements.
- Working closely with the Head of Corporate Finance to support the smooth running of the credit control function.

- Remaining hands-on with credit control duties whilst taking responsibility for monitoring team performance and supporting effective collection activity.
- Building strong working relationships with senior stakeholders and colleagues across the business to resolve billing and payment queries.
- Investigating invoice discrepancies and working collaboratively with clients and internal teams to remove barriers to payment.
- Monitoring aged debt, high-risk accounts and potential bad debt exposure, providing updates on collection activity and performance.

- Experience managing complex debtor portfolios, including high-value accounts and aged debt.
- Someone who enjoys being hands-on with their own workload whilst also supporting, coaching and guiding others.

- Confident communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders at all levels.
- A proactive, organised and results-driven approach, with the confidence to manage challenging conversations and find solutions.
- Strong IT skills and experience using finance systems. Knowledge of legal billing processes would be advantageous.
