You'll take ownership of a ledger, work directly with contractor clients to keep payments on track, and play a genuine role in credit risk decisions — including liaising with insurers and solicitors on legal cases.

• Maintaining accurate records of customer contact, credit reports, and credit limits
• Posting and allocating customer receipts
• Managing legal cases in liaison with insurers and solicitors
• Building strong, constructive relationships with THX customers
• Flagging risk and process issues directly to the Financial Controller

Requirements

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience in a credit control or accounts receivable role
• Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
• Confidence with Microsoft Excel and accounting systems (Sage 50 experience a plus)
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, adaptable approach — happy to challenge existing processes constructively and suggest better ways of working
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
• Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information
