  • Allocate and monitor workloads across the team.
  • Drive accountability, service excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Support the onboarding, training and development of accounts receivable team members.

Process Improvement and Governance

  • Assess and improve accounts receivable, billing and collection processes.
  • Identify opportunities for automation and workflow improvement.
  • Develop and maintain tenant onboarding, customer master-data and account-management procedures.
