*Building strong working relationships to resolve queries, manage risk, and agree payment plans
*Identifying potential bad debt and escalating risks appropriately
*Chasing payments by phone and email in a professional, customer-focused manner
*Allocating and investigating unallocated cash and completing bank reconciliations
*Producing invoices, statements, and supporting documentation
*Reviewing credit limits and managing held or restricted accounts
*Preparing reports including aged debt analysis, month-end commentary, and ad-hoc reporting
*Acting as a key point of contact for third-party collection partners when required
*Supporting ledger reviews and data cleansing as part of a wider system migration
*Working closely with internal stakeholders across operations, management, and legal/compliance teams
*Supporting the Credit Control Manager with process improvements and wider business objectives
What we’re looking for:
*Proven experience in a Credit Control or Senior Credit Control role
*Confidence managing a high-volume or complex ledger
*Able to start a new role on a short notice period and happy to commit to a 12 month contract
*Strong communication skills, able to deal professionally with a wide range of stakeholders
*A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to challenge when needed
*High attention to detail with solid Excel and system skills
*Comfortable working independently while being a supportive team player
*Well organised, resilient, and able to juggle priorities in a busy environment
This role would suit someone who enjoys structure, responsibility, and being trusted to get on with the job, while still being part of a supportive finance team.
