System Documentation & Cash Application Support

• Maintain thorough documentation of customer communications, issue resolutions, and payment commitments in internal platforms (e.g., GetPaid, Salesforce).
• Assist with unapplied cash efforts by identifying unmatched payments and working with internal teams to resolve.
• Conduct skip tracing when contact with a customer has been lost.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and experience using systems such as GetPaid, Salesforce, SAP, or similar ERP/AR platforms.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with a customer-first mindset.
• Organized, self-motivated, and capable of managing a high-volume portfolio.
• Ability to influence resolution and foster strong working relationships.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with onboarding processes and customer account setup.
• Working knowledge of collections workflows in GetPaid or similar systems.
• Background in cross-functional collaboration across Sales, Finance, and Customer Success.

What Success Looks Like
