- Collections Support & Credit Discipline: Work closely with finance and credit control to follow up overdue balances, support collections discussions, and ensure order release is aligned with approved credit terms and risk controls.
- Complaint Handling & Service Recovery: Manage customer complaints related to delays, order errors, rejected loads, delivery issues, and service gaps; coordinate with internal teams on investigation, corrective action, and customer communication.
- Operational Alignment: Maintain strong day-to-day coordination with plant, dispatch, quality, and customer service teams to support smooth order execution and reduce commercial or service breakdowns.
