This Credit Control team is based at our newly refurbished office in Huddersfield and supports our Graham Plumbing and Heating Merchants across the UK. You’ll have responsibility for a varied ledger and the opportunity to build relationships with customers across multiple trading businesses.
We're looking for an experienced Credit Controller who is confident managing business-to-business (B2B) accounts, building strong customer relationships, and balancing commercial decisions with effective credit control.
This role would suit someone with previous experience in Credit Control, Accounts Receivable, or a similar finance environment who enjoys speaking with customers, negotiating payment solutions, and identifying potential credit risks before they become problems.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage an aged debt ledger consisting of customers ranging from sole traders to national contractors
- Chase outstanding payments by phone and email while maintaining positive customer relationships.
- Monitor customer accounts, credit limits and payment trends to identify and manage potential risks.
- Resolve invoice and account queries by working closely with customers and internal teams.
- Allocate customer payments accurately and maintain up-to-date account records.
- Build strong working relationships with both internal stakeholders and external customers.
- Support the wider Credit Control team with payment processing and shared workloads where required.
- Contribute to wider Credit Control projects and continuous improvement initiatives.
What We're Looking For
This role is suited to someone who already has experience working within a busy Credit Control or Finance environment.
You might come from:
- Credit Control
- Accounts Receivable
- Finance or Accounts Administration
You’ll bring:
- Previous experience working in a B2B Credit Control environment (around two years or more is ideal).
- Strong communication and negotiation skills with confidence speaking to customers by phone.
- Experience managing an aged debt ledger and balancing customer service with commercial decisions.
- Excellent attention to detail when handling payments, cash allocation and customer accounts.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise multiple accounts and deadlines.
- A proactive approach with the confidence to work independently while contributing to a wider team.
- Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office. Experience with finance or ERP systems would be beneficial but isn't essential.
