We're one of the UK's most successful energy providers, helping thousands of commercial businesses thrive. We've achieved incredible things so far, but we're only just getting started—and we want you to be part of our exciting journey.

Due to our rapid growth, we're now looking for dynamic, talented individuals to join our team as Telephone Collections Agent.

What We Need from Yü
Here's a taste of what you'll be doing:

• Negotiating with customers: You'll work with commercial customers to resolve overdue debts while maintaining positive, professional relationships.
• Developing payment solutions: By understanding customers' financial situations, you'll help negotiate sustainable payment arrangements that suit their needs and circumstances.
• Managing the debt recovery process: Efficiently progressing debt cases through the treatment paths, accelerating higher-risk cases, and ensuring issues are resolved quickly to prevent further delays.
• Collaborating with teams: You'll work closely with both internal and external teams to maintain a unified, efficient approach.
• Providing performance updates: Prepare accurate management information to report on your individual performance and success.

About Yü
If you have what it takes you could be just what we're looking for…

• Strong Negotiation Skills: You're a natural at negotiating win-win solutions and are adept at managing sensitive conversations with tact and diplomacy.
• Previous Experience: While experience as a Telephone Collections Agent, Credit Controller or Collections Advisor is beneficial, we're open to individuals with strong negotiation skills and customer service backgrounds.
• Energy Industry Knowledge: Experience in the energy industry is a bonus but not essential. What matters most is your ability to understand and resolve financial issues effectively.
• Communication and Interpersonal Skills: You must be an excellent communicator, able to build rapport and work well with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
• Analytical Mindset: You have a keen eye for detail and are naturally curious, using your analytical skills to find solutions and improve processes.
• Ambition and Motivation: We're looking for individuals who see this role as more than just a job. You're motivated by success and eager to develop both professionally and personally.
• Team Spirit: While you'll take ownership of your responsibilities, you also work well within a team and enjoy collaborating with others to achieve common goals.
• Flexibility and Target Focused: You'll need to be adaptable as the business and role evolve. You're also results-driven, with a track record of hitting targets and managing your time efficiently.
