  • Build strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders to achieve positive payment outcomes.
  • Assess customer creditworthiness and support the management of credit limits and payment terms.
  • Analyze aged receivables, collection trends and customer payment behaviors.
  • Contribute to reporting, month-end activities, balance sheet reconciliations and audit requirements.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance credit control processes and reduce future disputes.
  • Partner with Sales, Customer Service, Supply Chain and Finance teams to resolve complex account issues and improve business outcomes.

To be successful in this role, you will bring:


  • Minimum 5 years' experience managing complex, high-value customer accounts.
  • Strong collection, reconciliation and dispute resolution experience.
  • Proven ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders across multiple functions.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify and address root causes.
  • Excellent communication, organizational and time management skills.
  • Ability to prioritize competing demands within a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience using ERP systems, with SAP highly regarded.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel.

Experience managing major customer accounts, FMCG retail accounts or large B2B portfolios will be highly regarded.
