Job description

Credit Controller £27,000 - £30,000 Derby/Nottingham border Temporary 3-6 months Office-based

We're looking for an experienced Credit Controller to join a busy finance team on a temporary basis for an initial 3-6 months. The location is well suited to candidates commuting from either the Nottingham or Derby area.

This is a hands-on Credit Control position focused on getting the cash in. You'll manage an allocated portfolio of customer accounts, monitor aged debt, proactively chase outstanding invoices and work with internal teams and customers to resolve anything holding up payment.

The role will include:

Managing an allocated portfolio of customer accounts
Monitoring aged debt and prioritising outstanding balances
Chasing overdue invoices by phone, email and written correspondence
Having regular conversations with customers to secure payment
Investigating and resolving invoice, pricing and payment queries
Liaising with Sales, Customer Service and Operations to resolve issues
Reconciling customer accounts and allocating incoming payments
Downloading and posting cash receipts
Running and sending customer statements
Escalating overdue or high-risk accounts where required
Supporting credit checks and the opening of new customer accounts
Reviewing customer accounts and highlighting potential credit risks
Producing and reviewing aged debt reports
Reporting collection issues and higher-risk accounts to the Credit Manager
Supporting month-end and year-end finance processes
Working with external collection agencies or solicitors where required
Providing cover for colleagues during periods of absence

About you:

Previous experience in Credit Control, Accounts Receivable or a similar finance role
Confident speaking to customers and chasing outstanding payments
Strong communication and negotiation skills
Comfortable dealing with queries and following issues through to resolution
Good numerical and analytical ability
Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage your own workload
Good Excel skills - advanced Excel would be useful, but isn't essential
Comfortable working with finance systems and able to pick up new systems quickly
A proactive approach, with the persistence to keep chasing when payment isn't forthcoming

The most important thing for this role is a genuine focus on cash collection. You'll need to be comfortable picking up the phone, having those payment conversations and taking ownership of your ledger rather than waiting for problems to resolve themselves.

The position is office-based, working either 8:30am-4:30pm or 9:00am-5:00pm.

This is an initial 3-6 month temporary contract, with the longer-term requirement still to be determined, based on performance.

If you're an experienced Credit Controller looking for a new opportunity and enjoy a role where you can make a real impact on cash flow, we'd like to hear from you.
