Applicants for this role must be able to show team management experience in a credit control / collections role and discuss their approach to relationship building to ensure effective management of the debtors ledger. Additionally, taking ownership for reporting and controls, with a background in reviewing credit limits is key.

In return, the successful applicant will join a business and be in a role with the autonomy to shape it moving forwards and have access to senior levels of the business as they do this. A great next step for a manager seeking a larger team or an experienced individual.
