Gleeson Recruitment Group are delighted to be working very closely with one of the most well-established, multi-site International FMCG clients in the UK, who have over 400 sites throughout the world. Their centralised finance function sits in very modern offices in Feltham and they require a Senior Credit Controller, to join their friendly, team-spirited team, initially for 12 months to cover a back-log of overdue invoices.
My client can offer training on their systems, to the successful Senior Credit Controller, but this role is ideally geared to those with existing credit control experience, looking after Corporate accounts. You ideally will have held similar roles within a team environment previously, and if you are able to hit the ground running with limited training, then this would be preferred.
Based in their central collections team in their modern Feltham Offices, the Credit Controller will be responsible for your a portfolio of customer accounts of around 200-300 live accounts, (as well as sharing overdue accounts from within the team) and you will undertake the following duties, whilst working in an experienced team, reporting to the Credit Supervisor:
- To actively chase an assigned portfolio to ensure payment to terms and maximise collections in order to achieve monthly and quarterly targets. This will mainly be email chasing of Corporate Accounts, with most clients working from home
-Communicate with customers on a daily basis, via email and call to ensure prompt payment of outstanding invoices and maximise cash collected
- Liaising closely with the Senior Sales Teams and Managers to escalate any issues
- Focus on maintaining and developing excellent relationships with customers and resolving any queries accordingly in an efficient and effective manner
- Resolving queries, as many of the customers are on Direct Debit so many queries need to be handled throughout the month
- Raise credit notes and re-issue invoices as and when required
- Maintain detailed notes on all accounts, and up-date all relevant systems with the status of all outstanding invoices
- Daily use of Excel
- Previous use of SAP will be highly desirable
This is a challenging, fast-paced Senior Credit Controller position, and requires the individual to be extremely team-focused, and be able to multi-task with ease, and work effectively with all internal colleagues, account managers, sales staff and admin staff at all times. The ability to work under pressure is essential.
Please contact me for further information of this superb Corporate Credit Controller opportunity, where my client can offer superb, modern offices, free parking and a great working environment. You will be working from home 2 days a week and in the office 3 days per week, also with potential long term career opportunities available also.
