- Record customer promises to pay, monitor commitments, and conduct timely follow-ups to ensure agreed payments are received.
- Reconcile customer accounts to maintain accurate outstanding balances and provide relevant inputs to finance teams for cash flow forecasting.
- Monitor customer payment behavior, identify deteriorating or high-risk accounts, and escalate non-responsive or financially concerning accounts for appropriate credit review and senior management attention.
- Generate collection performance reports, maintain accurate records for audit and compliance purposes, and ensure collections are posted and disputes are addressed before financial close.
- Build professional relationships with customer finance contacts while identifying and implementing process improvements that can strengthen collection effectiveness and operational efficiency.
- Graduate or postgraduate qualification, including B.Com/Honors or a bachelor’s degree with relevant experience in Order-to-Cash (OTC) operations, Accounts Receivable, or related finance processes.
- For the Executive level, 2–4 years of relevant experience is expected; for the Senior Executive level, 4–6 years of relevant experience is required.
- Strong knowledge of collections and the Accounts Receivable cycle, with practical experience in an OTC or shared services/customer-facing environment.
- Working knowledge of SAP Finance, ERP and accounting systems, along with familiarity with operational tools, applications, performance metrics, and advanced Excel and spreadsheet capabilities.
- Understanding of standard operating procedures, financial accounting, reporting, accounts receivable ledger management, and collection performance tracking.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to present information clearly and collaborate effectively with colleagues and customer finance contacts at different levels.
- Ability to work independently, remain self-motivated, initiate change, and adapt effectively within a rapidly changing, high-growth environment.
- A collaborative team-player mindset with the ability to manage priorities, communicate professionally, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
- Opportunities to work within international OTC and Accounts Receivable operations, with exposure to customer-facing collections and finance processes.
