This is a proper Credit Control job, just without the five-day week. Working 3 days a week, you'll have your own portfolio of customer accounts and responsibility for making sure overdue money comes in.

That doesn't mean firing out increasingly red emails and hoping for the best. It means understanding why something hasn't been paid, speaking to the right people and getting it sorted.

Some customers will just need a nudge. Others will have disputed an invoice. Some will have promised payment twice already.

What you'll be responsible for:

  • Managing your own portfolio of customer accounts and keeping on top of a busy ledger.
  • Chasing overdue payments by telephone and email.
  • Investigating invoice queries and disputes and seeing them through to resolution.
  • Working with internal teams to remove issues that are holding up payment.
  • Following up promises to pay and agreeing payment plans where appropriate.
  • Allocating incoming payments accurately to customer accounts.
  • Keeping clear and accurate records of conversations and account activity.
  • Monitoring aged debt and identifying accounts that may require escalation.
  • Producing debtor reports and contributing to regular credit control meetings.
  • Supporting the wider credit control team when required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
