Credit Controller in England

Reconomy is an international circular economy specialist that combines technology, skills and incredible people to enable businesses to better manage their resources, helping reduce waste, optimise their supply chains, and contribute in a meaningful way toward the circular economy.

About the role

Do you have experience in Credit Control but you're looking for a change or new challenge? If you can keep calm under pressure and you're used to using your persuasive nature to encourage collection of cash owed, this may well be the role for you. You will have your own ledger, some small businesses who work with us occasionally and some larger ones who work with us on a regular basis. Having strong communication skills is very important, as you will speak to a variety of contacts to arrange payment of invoices, ensuring that solid relationships are created and robust credit control methods are implemented. You'll predominantly do this by phone, but you will also follow up what's been discussed with emails, which will need to be well written and clear. Customer service experience or skills will help to settle the invoices quickly, combined with your problem solving skills to resolve queries. You’ll also work closely with colleagues in different teams, ensuring that everyone involved with the account is kept up to date. This is a target driven role, which will make it easy for you to see how you are getting on throughout the month and gives you the opportunity to earn bonus. Your ledger is managed predominately using Excel or the company system so the more comfortable you are with Microsoft Office packages and bespoke systems the better. Ideally you’ll need to know how to sort in Excel or maybe create basic sums, we can then help you to learn anything more advanced which might be of use such as pivot tables and charts.
