Your future role

Join our team as Collections Specialist to independently manage a moderately complex accounts receivable portfolio and serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for collections processes, tools, and escalation handling. This role focuses on accelerating cash flow, reducing delinquency, and protecting customer relationships through advanced analysis, structured root cause identification, and effective cross-functional collaboration. As Collections Specialist with French you will mentor junior team members, manage escalations, and drive improvements that reduce rework and prevent dispute-driven payment delays.

Key Responsibilities

• Portfolio Ownership (Complexity & Impact): Independently manage a portfolio of moderately complex, higher-risk accounts (e.g., high-dollar balances, chronic late payers, multi-location customers, complex terms) to drive timely payment.
• Advanced Collections Strategy: Develop account-level collection strategies, including call cadence, prioritization, promise-to-pay management, and escalation thresholds, aligned with company policy and customer behavior.
• Exception & Root Cause Resolution: Investigate drivers of delinquency such as billing errors, pricing/contract misalignment, missing proof of delivery, master data issues, unapplied cash, and dispute volume. Coordinate corrective actions to enable timely payment.
• Escalation Management: Serve as an escalation point for analysts, leading moderately complex customer negotiations and internal alignment to remove payment blockers.
• Payment Plans & Negotiation: Define and manage payment plans, negotiate resolution paths, and secure commitments while balancing customer relationship health and financial risk.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Billing, Disputes, Cash Application, Sales, Customer Service, and Operations to resolve blockers and reduce repeat delinquency.
• Documentation & Compliance: Maintain accurate records of contacts, commitments, and outcomes, ensuring all collections activities adhere to policies and applicable regulations.
• Reporting & Insights: Track and report portfolio KPIs, including aging, delinquency, promise-to-pay attainment, DSO drivers, and dispute blockers, and provide actionable recommendations to leadership.
• Mentorship & Enablement: Coach analysts on best practices, including call/email effectiveness, negotiation, documentation, and prioritization, and contribute to playbooks and standard work.
