• Automation Implementation: Work directly with internal technical teams (Dev/IT) to define requirements, and project manage the delivery of process automation initiatives.

• System Integration: Take responsibility for ensuring all core systems (including credit insurance portals and internal CRMs) integrate effectively to support a seamless credit assessment process.

Data Cleansing and System Support

• Data Cleansing and Integrity: Analyse current data flows to identify and resolve issues that cause inaccurate or delayed information on the ledger, including data quality issues stemming from the onboarding phase.
• Process Documentation: Create, update, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation for all new automated and streamlined processes.
• Support Managerial Goals: Execute projects and initiatives prioritised by the Accounts Receivable Managers ensuring all efficiency gains align with improved client experience.

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve

• Interest in embracing and onboarding new technology to help drive automation.
• Experience in process analysis, design, and automation (e.g., use of, and understanding the potential of RPA tools, or system-level configuration).
• Background in Credit Control/Credit Services is key.
• Experience identifying and solving workflow problems related to financial data (e.g., ledgers, cash).
