About the company

Your tasks
NEW OPPORTUNITY ALERT | SENIOR CREDIT CONTROLLER | CASTLE DONINGTON | PERMANENT | HYBRID Ready for your next Credit Control move? One where you can take ownership of complex accounts, use your commercial judgement and bring your experience to a team that will value it?
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Credit Controller who enjoys problem-solving, managing larger balances and getting to the bottom of issues, rather than simply chasing debt.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT Real ownership: Take responsibility for your own portfolio across multiple ledgers, with accountability for collection activity and outcomes.
More than routine debt chasing: Manage large-value and complex accounts, investigate queries and resolve issues using your experience and judgement.
Opportunity to influence: Help identify practical process improvements and resolve recurring issues across the Finance function.
Wider business exposure: Work across multiple entities and customer accounts within an international business.
Team contribution: Share your knowledge, support colleagues and provide experienced support within the Credit function.
Variety: A hands-on mix of cash collection, credit risk, reconciliations, account management and stakeholder relationships.
THE ROLE WILL INVOLVE
- Managing a portfolio of large-value and complex customer accounts.
- Proactively driving cash collection and reducing overdue debt.
- Investigating queries, deductions, discrepancies and barriers to payment.
- Managing customer relationships, including difficult conversations and payment commitments.
- Maintaining accurate ledgers, reconciling accounts and monitoring credit risk.
- Reviewing credit limits, managing credit holds and escalating risks where appropriate.
- Helping resolve practical system queries, including some EDI invoicing issues.
- Identifying process improvements, sharing knowledge and supporting junior colleagues where appropriate.
Requirements
- An experienced Credit Control professional who is confident managing complex accounts, multiple ledgers and challenging queries.
- You will bring:
- Strong Credit Control experience and a track record of managing debt effectively.
- Tenacity, initiative and a target-driven approach.
- Confidence dealing with customers and internal stakeholders.
- Good Excel and finance systems skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
Experience with EDI invoicing, modern ERP systems, high-volume accounts or supporting colleagues would be particularly beneficial. CICM or relevant credit management training is also welcomed.
How to apply
If you are an experienced Credit Controller looking for a role where you can take ownership, use your judgement and make a practical difference beyond your own ledger, I would love to hear from you.
