Senior Credit Controller
Gillingham, North Dorset (near Shaftesbury) | £30,000 - £40,000 DOE + Excellent Benefits - Option for 4 days week - 30 hours
Looking for a Credit Control role where you can genuinely make an impact?
Vardey Recruitment is delighted to be exclusively partnering with a successful and growing business in North Dorset to recruit an experienced Senior Credit Controller.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of the Group's credit control function, working closely with the Head of Finance and key stakeholders across the business. More than simply collecting debt, you'll have the chance to improve processes, strengthen customer relationships and influence cash flow performance, making the role your own.
If you're an experienced Credit Controller who enjoys working independently, building relationships and driving continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you. This role also could suit someone seeking reduced hours - part-time hours for example 30 hours across 4 days.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll manage your own portfolio of customer accounts from end to end, ensuring outstanding debts are collected professionally while maintaining excellent customer relationships.
