Senior Credit Controller

Job Description

Think Accountancy andamp; Finance are proud to be partnering with a global business, a leader in their field, to recruit a Senior Credit Controller.

You would be joining an established Accounts Receivable function, so we are looking for someone who can take ownership of a high-value ledger while also supporting and guiding a small team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on but is also ready to step into a senior, influential position within a collaborative and high-performing finance team.

The role

You'll be responsible for managing a portfolio of key customer accounts, ensuring strong cash collection and reduced aged debt, while acting as a go-to person within the team.

Alongside this, you'll support the day-to-day running of a small Credit Control team, helping to mentor and guide best practice.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing high-value and complex customer accounts
  • Driving cash collection and reducing aged debt
  • Handling escalated queries and resolving disputes efficiently
  • Reviewing credit limits and assessing customer risk
  • Producing debtor reports, ageing analysis and supporting cashflow forecasting
  • Identifying trends and suggesting process improvements
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members
  • Working closely with internal teams (Sales, Billing, Customer Service) to resolve issues

This is a role where you can genuinely add value, both operationally and from a leadership perspective.

What we are looking for

  • 3 to 5+ years' experience within Credit Control
  • Experience managing complex or high-value accounts
  • Confident handling escalations and difficult conversations
  • Strong Excel and systems experience
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail
  • Ideally some experience supporting or mentoring others
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
  • A CICM qualification (or working towards) would be a bonus, but not essential.

Why this role?

  • Proven, supportive team
  • The opportunity to ownership of your day to day
  • Hybrid working and a great working culture
  • A business that values collaboration and continuous improvement

If you're looking for that next step where you can take more ownership, mentor others, and be part of a business that genuinely invests in its people, this could be a great move.
