This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in supporting the company’s financial stability and ongoing success.
As the business continues to grow, so does the volume and complexity of customer accounts. This role has been created to strengthen the credit control function, ensuring that cash flow remains healthy while maintaining excellent relationships with customers.
You will take ownership of a portfolio of accounts, working proactively to manage debt, resolve queries, and ensure timely payments. This is a role that requires a balance of strong financial discipline and excellent relationship management skills, as you will be liaising with both internal teams and external customers on a daily basis.
