Job Description
We are currently working with a fantastic client based in Hemel Hempstead who is looking to recruit an experienced Credit Control Supervisor or a Senior Credit Controller to join their finance team.
If you're passionate about credit control and particularly enjoy the relationship-building aspect of the role, this could be a great next step in your career.
You'll be joining a small, collaborative finance team where you'll take ownership of your own customer accounts, while also providing support and mentorship to other credit controllers.
The ideal candidate will be a confident, positive, and self-motivated professional who brings a proactive approach and a passion for developing others. You'll need to demonstrate strong experience in either a senior-level credit control role or a sole charge credit control position.
This is a customer-facing role that works closely with other departments across the business, so strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills are essential.
Key Responsibilities:
* Full responsibility for your own ledger/accounts receivable
* Chasing outstanding payments via phone, email, and written correspondence
* Managing and escalating overdue debts
* Month-end reporting and reconciliation processes
* Attending and contributing to debt review meetings
* Supporting and mentoring junior team members
* Ledger reconciliations and accurate note keeping
* New account setup, including credit checks and applications
* Reviewing and advising on bad debts
Key Skills & Experience:
* Exceptional attention to detail and high levels of accuracy
* Naturally inquisitive with strong problem-solving ability
* Highly organised, self-starting, and able to manage workload independently
* Resilient and proactive in approach
* Strong communication skills - in person, on the phone, and via email
* Minimum of 4 years' experience in a dedicated credit control role
* Previous experience in a senior or supervisory position desirable
* Proven track record of managing customer relationships and influencing stakeholders at all levels
* Ideally degree-educated and/or ICM qualified (or equivalent experience)
This is a brilliant opportunity for a team player who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys being challenged in their day-to-day work.
