Your new company
I am working with a £100M turnover manufacturing company based in Wigan in the recruitment of a Credit Controller. Over the past few years, this organisation has diversified its portfolio of products/services outside of manufacturing. This company is committed to sustainability and quality, ensuring that their products meet high standards and regulatory requirements.
Your new role
In this role, you will be responsible for processing import clearances and export documentation when the Import/Export Administrator is unavailable. Your daily tasks will include cash allocation, invoice and credit note processing, EDI invoicing, and handling pro-forma payments. You will also manage price inputting, filing, and manual invoice processing. Proactive telephone and email correspondence will be essential to ensure timely collections and achieve weekly targets. Additionally, you will report non-payments to the Credit Manager, release held orders based on current assessments, and handle POD despatches in the absence of the Credit Control Administrator. You will also be involved in the dispute resolution process by logging, monitoring, and reporting on all received debit notes and invoices, along with performing any ad hoc tasks as required.
What you'll need to succeed
To be considered for this role, candidates must have a solid background in credit control and a thorough understanding of key credit control processes, including their interaction with the finance system and dispute management. Experience in export and import processes is essential, with a good grasp of Inco Terms. You should possess strong numeracy and computer skills, particularly in systems, Excel, and Word. An assertive manner and the ability to adhere to processes and controls are crucial. Effective time management and prioritisation skills are necessary, along with working towards or holding a relevant Credit Control Professional Qualification. While membership in the Chartered Institute of Credit Management is desirable, it is not essential. High integrity, strong interpersonal and communication skills, and a methodical, careful, and logical approach are required. Candidates should be process-driven, adhere to policies, and have strong administration and organisational skills. The ability to work both independently and as part of a team, and to establish and maintain good relationships internally and externally, is vital
What you'll get in return
In return, you will receive a competitive salary of up to £32,000 alongside of a benefits package that includes 25 days AL, company pension, company timeshares, staff benefits, free parking and staff incentives. This role is office-based but does allow hybrid working if required. Alongside this, you have the opportunity to study at your Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM) alongside your work. You will have the opportunity to work in a collaborative and supportive environment that encourages professional growth and development. This role offers a chance to have a significant impact on the company's financial health and stability while advancing your career in credit control.
