Role Purpose
Credit Control Assistant
We're hiring a Credit Control Assistant to manage a portfolio of customer accounts and keep overdue debt under control. This is a relationship-led role — you'll be on the phone and in customers' inboxes daily, chasing payment, resolving disputes, and building the kind of rapport that gets invoices paid on time.
About The Role
You'll own an assigned ledger of customer accounts, working closely with your Credit Control Manager to bring down aged debt. Success here comes from good judgement, confident communication, and staying on top of every promise to pay.
What You'll Do
Portfolio management and collections
- Manage your portfolio under the guidance of the Credit Control Manager
- Review the aged debt report regularly and prioritise by value, age and risk
- Chase overdue and upcoming payments proactively by phone and email
- Send statements and reminders in line with the collection process
- Secure and log payment dates, remittance details and firm commitments to pay
- Check account history and correspondence before each contact so you're always across the detail
- Keep customer relationships professional while being clear and firm about payment terms
Disputes and queries
- Get to the root of non-payment or part-payment and investigate billing or account issues
- Work with Billing and Cash Application to clear blockers and resolve disputes
- Track disputed invoices — value, reason, owner, action and expected resolution date
- Own disputes through to resolution, not just handover
- Escalate broken promises, repeat non-responders, high-risk balances and stalled disputes to the Credit Control Manager
- Route payment plans, legal action, write-offs, credit notes or term changes for sign-off
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Track cash collected, debt movement, promises to pay and dispute progress
Process and controls

- Help keep SOPs and process documentation current
- Follow company credit policy, approvals and confidentiality requirements
- Support audit requests as needed

Essential
- 1–2 years' experience in credit control, accounts receivable, collections or similar
