Job description

Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping.

As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.

About the job:

As a Credit Analyst, you’ll play a key role in driving our company’s financial health by managing customer accounts, establishing lines of credit, and resolving overdue accounts and customer disputes—all while maximizing cash flow. You’ll have the opportunity to build strong relationships with our customers, ensure a positive experience, and uphold our Corporate Credit Policy.

This is a hybrid position located in Richmond, VA. This position has multiple openings.

As a part of the team, you will:

• Ensure that the local credit policy is followed and contribute to improvements.
• Conduct credit investigations; evaluate and review the credit worthiness of customers to minimize the organization’s credit risk.
• Perform the collection activity to ensure that overdues are kept to a minimum.
• Monitor the status of individual credit accounts so that problem debts can be quickly identified and addressed.
• Collaborate with counterparts in the finance processes (e.g. Finance Shared Service Center personnel or personnel within Local Finance).

We care about diversity, inclusion and equity in our recruitment processes. We also believe behavioral traits can provide important insights into a candidate's fit to a role. To help us achieve this we apply Pymetrics assessments, and upon application you will be invited to play the assessment games. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

What you know:

You have a Bachelor’s degree (in Finance or Business preferred) or equivalent years of experience and:

• 5+ years of relevant credit and collection experience in a complex global organization supporting multiple industries, Business Units and entities, collection knowledge of manufacturing environment and purchase orders
• Proficient analytical, credit analysis, and collection skills
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Commitment to outstanding customer service and support
• Ability to handle multiple tasks within a fluctuating workload
• Ability to work with all levels of management and marketing/sales departments
• Experience using online collections tools (i.e., Get Paid, HighRadius)
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (advanced Excel)
• Knowledge of accounts receivable sub-ledger transactions
• Demonstration of sound business judgment and shared values
• Ability to speak Spanish a plus but not required

At Alfa Laval, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive and dynamic workplace that values diverse perspectives and experiences. While we typically welcome applicants from all locations, currently, we are prioritizing candidates who reside in the US or have an established presence in the area.

What’s in it for you?

We offer a challenging position in an open and friendly environment where we help each other to develop and create value. Your work will have a true impact on Alfa Laval’s future success. Our benefits-eligible associates enjoy healthcare, dental and vision plans, a robust wellness program, generous 401(k), paid holidays, paid time off benefits, and more. At Alfa Laval, we carefully consider a wide range of factors to determine your total compensation package. We rely on market indicators and consider your specific job, background, skills, and experience to get it right. The base salary for this role is typically $60,000 - $70,000.
