Credit Controller
South Derbyshire (Hybrid working available)
£32-35k + Enhanced Benefits
Eaton Syalon are exclusively supporting a well-established and highly respected business as they look to appoint an experienced Credit Controller.
This is an excellent opportunity for a tenured credit professional who enjoys taking full ownership of their ledger, building strong customer relationships and playing a visible role in protecting cash flow and supporting business performance.
This is not a high-volume collections environment where you're simply chasing debt.
Instead, you'll become the key point of contact for all credit control activity, partnering closely with customers, sales teams and finance colleagues to proactively manage risk, resolve issues and ensure accounts remain healthy.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you'll take responsibility for the end-to-end management of the sales ledger, ensuring outstanding balances are managed effectively whilst maintaining positive and professional customer relationships.
You'll have genuine ownership and autonomy, with the opportunity to influence processes, identify improvements and contribute towards wider finance and operational objectives.
Key areas of responsibility will include:
Managing and maintaining a substantial customer ledger
Proactively collecting outstanding debt and reducing aged balances
Building strong relationships with customers and internal stakeholders
Assessing customer creditworthiness and managing risk exposure
Supporting credit insurance and account reviews
Resolving customer queries efficiently to minimise payment delays
Producing meaningful reporting and debtor analysis
Supporting month-end processes and cashflow forecasting activities
Identifying opportunities to improve processes and controls across the function
About You
We're keen to speak with experienced Credit Controllers who genuinely enjoy owning their ledger and developing long-term customer relationships.
You'll likely bring:
Several years' experience within a dedicated Credit Control position
Experience managing your own ledger with minimal supervision
Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills
Confidence communicating with customers and stakeholders at all levels
A proactive approach to debt recovery and risk management
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Experience within manufacturing, engineering, construction or similarly commercial environments would be advantageous
Most importantly, we're looking for somebody who takes pride in their work, enjoys accountability and wants to become a trusted and valued member of a collaborative finance team.
Why Apply?
This is a business that values experience, encourages ownership and offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a stable and well-established organisation.
If you're an experienced Credit Controller looking for a role where you can take responsibility, build strong relationships and truly own your ledger, we'd love to hear from you.
