If you like chasing people for money but in a way that doesn't make them hate you, then keep reading - you're the credit controller this business need.
Initially, it's a temporary role, but if you're good at what you do (and you don't mind us saying so), there's every chance it could turn into something permanent.
What will you be doing?
- You'll be responsible for around 3,000 accounts. That's everything from small local firms right through to multinational PLCs.
- Your main job is to make sure we actually get paid. That means chasing invoices, processing card payments, and generally keeping debtor days as low as possible.
- Sometimes you'll need to negotiate, sometimes you'll need to push harder. Either way, you'll need to keep relationships intact - because our customers pay us, and we'd quite like them to keep doing that.
- You'll also run daily bank recs (don't worry, training's provided if you've not done that before) and pitch in with other finance tasks when needed.
What they'd like from you:
- Proper credit control experience. The kind where you've actually reduced aged debt, not just "sent a few reminder emails".
- Strong communication skills - written and spoken. You'll be dealing with everyone from stressed site managers to corporate finance departments.
- Someone who's organised, detail-focused and knows how to prioritise.
- A bit of resilience. This is construction - things move quickly, not always in a straight line.
You'll be offered an annual salary of up to £28k DOE, with the possibility of a permanent contract if you do a good job.
