  • Allocate customer receipts accurately and promptly within the customer ledger.
  • Respond efficiently to customer queries and requests received through the credit control inbox.

  • Provide regular reporting and insights on debtor performance, ageing, and risk exposure.
  • Support process improvements to enhance efficiency, visibility, and control across the accounts receivable and cash collection cycle.
  • Provide guidance and mentoring to team members and support short-term resourcing as needed.
Skills and Experience
  • Proven experience in credit control or accounts receivable, ideally within a high-volume or fast-growing environment.
  • Strong understanding of debtor management, credit risk assessment, and cash allocation processes.
  • Proficiency in an ERP system (e.g. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or similar) is essential.
  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in managing customer ledgers and allocations.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to manage customer relationships effectively.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and identify trends or risks.
  • Collaborative approach, able to work effectively with finance and operational teams.
Key Competencies
  • Proactive, results-driven, and commercially minded.
  • Strong ownership and accountability for cash collection and ledger accuracy.
  • Organised and capable of managing high volumes and competing priorities.
  • Continuous improvement mindset, with the ability to refine and optimise processes.
