Credit Controller (Fixed Term Contract)

As a Credit Controller, you will proactively manage a portfolio of clients, using your influencing skills to remove the roadblocks preventing those clients paying their invoices.

• Having clear ownership of a UK and/or overseas debt ledger, resolving easy debt, tricky debts and everything in between
• Building great, productive relationships across all levels of the business
• Driving cash flow to meet your own and your stakeholders’ targets
• Helping stakeholders understand how to use of our Debt Collection Agency
• Raising the profile of the credit policies and Credit Management services
• Collaborative working style & a team player

What can you expect?

You will become part of an energetic team, working together to support our stakeholders in collection of payments for the exciting projects they are delivering for their clients.  The majority of your time will be spent getting in touch with the clients on the ledger you’re responsible for, ensuring they have our invoices and any roadblocks they have to paying them are overcome. 

You will build relationships with key stakeholders across Finance and our operational business, using those connections to push debts to their conclusion through joining calls with clients or debt review calls.   You will become a key member of the wider business team and an expert in collecting cash in our industry.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate...

• Credit Control / Accounts Receivable or other transactional accounting experience such as Accounts Payable, Cash Application or Billing.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities, manage your own time and meet deadlines
• Great attention to detail and understand what it takes to deliver an excellent service to your customers. 

We try to contact our internal and external customers by telephone rather than email, so you’ll need to be comfortable with that and with the behaviours you’ll need to display as an ambassador for WSP.  You’ll also need to be able to write great, accurate and concise emails.

You may be studying for CICM (Chartered Institute of Credit Management) exams or already have them. Or you may be studying for a different qualification or be interested in exploring one. Either way, you’ll want to continue developing yourself and your career with WSP.
