About the role

Reporting to the Credit Manager, you'll play an important role in supporting the day-to-day credit function, managing customer accounts and working closely with internal sales teams and external customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing customer accounts and maintaining accurate account information.
  • Performing bank and account reconciliations.
  • Allocating and receipting customer payments.
  • Monitoring outstanding balances and following up on overdue accounts.

  • Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • A positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn new systems and processes.

Previous credit experience would be advantageous, but it's not essential. The business is happy to provide training on its internal systems, processes and industry-specific requirements. Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, enjoys interacting with others and wants to contribute to a positive team environment.
