Credit & Collections Specialist

Overview

A long‑established organization is seeking an Credit and Collections Specialist to support a major operational transformation. The business is moving from paper‑heavy processes to more structured, scalable systems, and this role will play an important part in building and improving AR functions. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys problem‑solving, taking initiative, and contributing to process enhancement.

Work with recurring customers (primarily service-based relationships with long lifecycles) to clarify billing issues, update contacts, and ensure accurate communication.
Support the establishment of new AR processes and procedures as the organization modernizes its workflows.

Why This Role Stands Out

Opportunity to help build structure in a transforming environment.
Highly recurring customer base, often with 10–20+ year relationships.
Hands‑on exposure within an active, involved private equity environment.

Qualifications

2+ years of Accounts Receivable, Credit, and Collections experience required.
Manufacturing or similar industry experience preferred, but not required.
Associate degree preferred; strong relevant experience may substitute.
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage aging receivables professionally and proactively.

Ideal Candidate Traits

Process‑minded and comfortable working through change.
Go‑getter with strong initiative and follow‑through.
Excellent communicator who builds rapport with long-term customers and internal partners.
Organized, adaptable, and eager to support the build‑out of improved AR procedures.
