Credit Control Manager in Cheshire

A Credit Manager role for leaders who understand Credit is beyond chasing debt and being collaborative with internal and external stakeholders.

Otto James is partnering with an international technology organisation in the search to appoint a Credit Control Manager for their global head offices in Cheshire to transform how collections operates across the business.

The Credit Control Manager is a senior opportunity for someone who understands that sustainable cash improvement comes from process, analysis and control, not volume chasing.

The Role

As Credit Control Manager, you will drive the Credit Function and plan out credit performance, structure and strategy.
The focus is on identifying why payments aren’t being made, fixing upstream issues, and embedding disciplined processes that scale.

We have the requirement for a talented credit professional who is, senior, transformation-led and visible to the business. Someone with excellent communication skill, articulate and analytically minded.
