*Strong communication skills and confidence when dealing with clients
*A proactive, target-driven mindset with the ability to manage your own workload
*Good negotiation skills and a practical, problem-solving approach
*Comfortable working in a fast-paced, performance-focused environment
*Reliable, punctual, and committed to maintaining high standards


How Success is Measured
*Delivery against KPIs and SLAs
*Cash collection performance and reduction in aged debt
*Outbound call activity and engagement levels
*Debtor days and overall collection efficiency
*Contribution to team performance and service standards


This is an opportunity to join a supportive team where performance is recognised, and where you’ll have the chance to develop your skills in a commercially focused finance environment.
If you’re someone who enjoys a challenge, thrives on hitting targets, and knows how to balance results with great client service, this could be the role for you.
