Job description

We are recruiting on behalf of a long-established manufacturing company based in Edinburgh, supplying trade customers across Scotland and the wider UK. Our client is looking for an experienced Credit Controller to manage its debtor ledger and strengthen its credit processes.

This is a stable, varied role in a business where people tend to stay - perfect for someone who wants security, routine and a team that feels like family.

Location: Edinburgh

Employment: Permanent, full-time

The Role

• Managing the full credit control cycle for a ledger of trade customers.
• Chasing payments by phone and email, building strong relationships with regular accounts.
• Setting up new customer accounts, running credit checks and agreeing terms.
• Allocating payments and resolving invoice and pricing queries.
• Preparing aged debt reports and presenting them at monthly finance meetings.
• Recommending accounts for stop supply or legal action where necessary.
• Working closely with sales and customer service teams to resolve disputes.

A Typical Day

You will start by checking the bank statement and allocating receipts, then move on to your call list for the day. Much of the role is relationship-based - you will know your regular customers by name and understand their payment cycles. Afternoons often involve resolving queries, updating the ledger and preparing reports. It is steady, satisfying work where accuracy and consistency really count.

What We Are Looking For

• Solid experience in credit control, ideally in a trade, manufacturing or distribution environment.
• A firm but friendly approach to collections.
• Good working knowledge of accounting packages and Excel.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise a busy workload.
• A team player who communicates well across departments.
• CICM qualification or part-qualification is an advantage but not essential.

What You Can Expect

• A permanent, full-time position with a secure, long-established employer.
• 28 days' paid annual leave including bank holidays.
• Early finish on Fridays.
• Free on-site parking and good public transport links.
• A supportive, down-to-earth team culture.
